These Giants May Fall: Deadbeat Auto Execs Jet Into Storm

Related Topics:

mayfield.co.nz — In a classic case of insensitivity two of the auto execs flew in on private jets, old habits die hard. One of the Senators in the hearing picked up on this and asked if they had considered downgrading to First Class. It was a well deserved moment of barbed sarcasm, not lost on the three, as the Senator communicated his anger and frustration...

Free Fall

"The era of big government is over" is over. A major recovery program—featuring substantial public investment—will be inevitably the first initiative of the Obama administration. It should feature more spending than tax cuts—investing in renewable energy and conservation, in rebuilding everything from schools to bridges to a smart electric gird, in helping cities and states avoid crippling cuts of services, in keeping college affordable, providing health care to children, and aiding those most in need.

Health Care and Common Sense: HR676

Of course, the plan Kennedy refers to in his recent Washington Post article is one like that proposed by Health Care for America Now, which is the one that overwhelmingly has dominated the articles of CAF's writers and which is presently being supported by Obama.

One of the many flaws in that proposed plan is that it is a needs based program, which makes it kind of like a welfare program: more »

The Center-Left Nation

Sure, this is a center-right country, but only if you substitute addition for analysis. There are more conservatives than liberals — as there has been for years. So add them to the 44% of the electorate that says they are "moderates," and you get a center-right majority. But do a little analysis. "Moderate" isn't a place holder, as voters who describe themselves that way have attitudes on the issues of the day. And when you look at attitudes, rather than addition, there is no question: Conservatives have had their day. This is a center-left, not a center-right nation. more »

"Letting it go."

So, in the last couple of days, in response to my indignation at various things, including Nader's role in giving Missouri to McCain, Hannity et al's extremely classless, cowardly, and dangerous ramping up of anti-Obama rhetoric, the shameful passage of Prop 8 in CA (and similar propositions elsewhere) and Palin, Bachmann, and Lieberman's sudden change of heart and wholesale "embracing" of Obama, more »

They were peeing in their own pool... of mortgage backed securities!

Why would any prudent lender underwrite a loan for someone who couldn't afford it? What prudent lender loans money without knowing exactly what the collateral is worth? Why are so many people upside down on their home mortgages and are either nearing foreclosure or have already experienced foreclosure? more »

Progressive Mandate in a Sea-Change Election

Barack Obama’s historic victory in 2008 spearheaded not only a change election, but a sea-change election. It marks the end of the conservative era that has dominated our politics since 1980, and the beginning of a new era of progressive reform, driven by an emerging progressive majority. more »
