We're all Ass-out: "The Worse is Yet to Come"

—

We've been hoodwinked, and bamboozled, AGAIN. America will go down in history as the one of the dumbest, most-mean-spirited, spiritually vapid Empires of all time. Once again, the Democratic Party and it's President-elect have sold out the country for the elites. I urge you all to read Naomi ...

Single Payer Health Care and the Auto Industry
Corrente — Black Agenda Report Should the auto industry get a Wall Street style blank check bailout?

It's not just the first test of whether an Obama administration intends to serve its voters or its wealthy corporate campaign ...

Saving the automakers with single payer
Corrente — Bruce Dixon: Universal free health care is the secret competitive weapon of the Japanese, Canadian and European auto industries. Unless and until this competitive advantage is equalized, manufacturing automobiles and practically everything else will be far more expensive inside the US than outside it. No amount of money thrown at the auto industry can solve that, and without medical and retirement expenses, foreign automakers are guaranteed to have the extra cash to match and beat anything US automakers invest in innovative green technologies. Most US politicians omit this vital contextual information because they or their parties take big ...
