Wisconsin bodes ill for progressives

Once again we see that the minds of many are still stuck in their old mindset of beliefs that have no basis in reality.  Progressive and populist ideas are long overdue in this country and it was to Wisconsin that many have put a lot of hope that some of these ideas could gain a foot hold. Now it seems the best result could be a 50/50 split in the recall elections.  In light of the tremendous assault on unions, workers, working families, and just plain decent governance and a decent life for many it would seem that many are still buying the rhetoric of genocide and austerity.
It's a sad day indeed that this could occur but we should not be surprised either. We are living in very interesting times.

Unbelievable

Is there ANY sane or rational reason to conduct debt ceiling talks in secret?  Well obviously the answer to that question is YES!  And that is because you want to HIDE what it is you are doing.  And that is exactly what we are seeing here.  I have made a prediction that the legislation that raises the debt ceiling will be the beginning of the end for ALL social programs.  I stand by this.  Remember well that it was the wolf in sheep's clothing Obama that handed over Social Security and Medicare with no counter-offer from the lunatic fringe of the surreal Republi-WHORES.  Not that the fake left wing or Demo-SHILLS are any better.  Don't ever forget that all of these sides and people are exactly the same and serve the same masters.

Matt Taibbi illustrates a lot of the lunacy of what is going on in all of this.  Also you might want to check out David Sirota and his outstanding piece entitled "The New Let Them Eat Cake!" 

We will all pay and lose benefits and things we have paid for with blood and sweat while the elitist rich and corporations continue to rape and pillage in the fashion of the most vicious Viking.

This is the endgame in USA the corporate plantation.

Koch Brothers war on seniors and the middle class

The Koch Brothers have spent millions of dollars to fund think tanks and supposedly "independent" foundations to present policy papers which purport to show that Social Security and Medicare are "unsustainable" and thus usher in austerity for the USA as is being done with Greece.  This video is a parody of course but it might as well be a direct transmission from the Koch Brothers and the others on the radical fringes that want to further subject us to less regulation and more wealth accumulation to the super rich like the Koch Brothers.  Don't be fooled by these foundations and institutes and the obvious propaganda they spew.

Hello seniors are you listening?

Come on seniors.  You are and have been under attack for a long time now.  I've warned you about it:

And here:

Now we have the AARP once again blatantly selling you out completely.  They have now dropped their opposition to any cuts to Social Security as seen here.

They have sold you out on Medicare already not opposing and even endorsing Obama's cutting of 500 billion dollars from Medicare in the Healthcare Reform known as "Obamacare".  Do you know why they supported cuts to Medicare?
Because they are an INSURANCE COMPANY and they don't give a damn about you, only your money.  The cuts to Medicare mean that you will need more supplemental insurance to bridge the gap and they "just happen to" sell such things.
Now please answer this question.  You actually have to PAY to belong to this organization right?  Now please answer this question.  WHY?
I am going to go out on a limb here and make a prediction that AARP will soon have, if they do not already have, some kind of supplemental income plan that they will want to SELL TO YOU because you will need it after they cut your Social Security benefits.
Sadly we cannot have much affect on politics in this country because corporations and insurance companies like AARP pay off the politicians.  But you can have a great impact on THEIR influence by dropping out of the AARP and stop paying them money to sell you stuff and sell you out. 

Once again, rich get richer on backs of middle class

It can't be emphasized enough.
