The Real Economy Strikes Back

By Robert Borosage
October 7th, 2008

So much for the $700 billion bailout of Wall Street. Stocks are tanking across the world. Clearly, once the bailout passed, investors took a good look at the real economy and dove for the mattresses. We’re headed into a great reckoning. And at the heart of that, as argued in our new op-ad in the New York Times, is this country’s unsustainable global economic strategy. more »

Today's Jobs Report: We're Poorly Prepared For the Storm Ahead

By Charles McMillion
October 3rd, 2008

This Bailout Is Still A Bad Deal

By Robert Borosage
October 2nd, 2008

The Senate voted overwhelmingly to pass a bad bailout bill last night. Nothing to kick-start the real economy, except tax breaks for business. No help for homeowners.. No mandate for taxpayers to get shares in the banks that are bailed out. Virtual unchecked discretion for the Treasury Secretary to dispense $700 billion. more »

Who’s Winning the Presidential Chess Match?

By Bernie Horn
September 30th, 2008

A high-profile election campaign is more like a chess match than a football game. What’s important isn’t so much the current score (i.e. the polls), it’s the way the game has been played so far.
