From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
I think more states will follow Vermonts lead. As more people find that the so called "affordible" health care act isn't affordable & end up uninsured, states will be forced to consider alternitives, insurance companies be dammed.
People seeking care in emergency rooms will overwhelm the system, death rates will rise from those seeking help too late.
Single payer is the best alternaitive to expensive private for PROFIT insurance. The insurance companies will then be left with insuring boob jobs, tummy tucks & dick tricks.
Everyone will have to pay a tax to support that single payer system, people will be unable to opt out like now & everyone will be covered for basic health care, no 80 YO will be eligible for heart transplants unless of course their like Dick Chainey - rich.
But with horrible decisions made by the corrupt federal government, the economy will crash & all efforts to provide everyone with access to health care will fall by the wayside. Unless we drasticly change course & raise tariffs, raise taxes on the rich & big corporations many of whom pay no taxes at all, recind all our awful free trade agreements, dump "citizens" united, remove the cap on S.S., end China's most favored nation statis, end all immigration etc etc we are doomed.
Vermont is chockablock full of progressives, still proudly bumper sticker advertising their historic support for their Predator POTUS.
Yes, Vermont progressives support Single-Payer, there — in their backyard — but they voted for Obama, who campaign promised everyone that No We Can't have Single-Payer for America... "too many legacy systems" for clever Democrats to get really BIG "contributions" from.
Vermont progressives support local organic farming, there — in their backyard — but they Obamanably voted for Monsanto to control "food" nationally.
Vermont progressives support 350.org, but they Obamanably voted for mountaintop removal to become "sustainable economic development" after Obama quickly 1st term "studied" its environmental impact and continued to permit it, and Vermont progressives Obamanably voted for a 2nd term of their Cheshire Cat grinning bankster backed polluters' POTUS, who during his campaign for another term, fast-tracked the permit approval for the Southern leg of the tar sands pipeline, and boasted — boasted — about his support for maintaining America's fossil fuel dependence, with 100 years of fracking shale to rip the last tiny remnants of gas from stone.
ObamaCare:
the Heritage Foundation provided means that liberals used to perform their partial-birth abortion upon SinglePayer public funded healthcare for all
the MoveOn progressives' first do harm success in making the SickCare system sicker
progressives:
liberals whose terminally ill logic is growing progressively worse
liberals who keep voting for the corporate party's Democrats so they can keep "protesting" against what they keep voting for
fleece cloaked sociopaths
