Show 47 - Forget Fiscal Responsibility, Our Politicians Need Moral Responsibility!
The bitter fights in Congress and The Senate over the Health Care Bill and the acrimony in The Senate over passing an Unemployment Insurance Extension made one thing perfectly clear, those people don't work for us, they work for their pet lobbyists!
Don't worry, all is not lost, we can still get our country back!

Show 46 - Thought Police: You've Had Your Say, Now It's My Turn!
These days, it's hard to be a progressive Democrat on Twitter. You get static from every direction. You expect the Republicans and teabaggers to hurl epithets your way. What really hurts is when party line Democrats, self-appointed keepers of the faith accuse you of helping the Republicans win elections in November.
My being a union member complicates the issue because the Obama administration is about to sign The South Korean Free Trade agreement in the midst of already high unemployment. Reminder: Bill Clintion's NAFTA caused a wave of job offshoring, making his administration a disaster for working people. We don't need a repeat performance of that betrayal of the American middle class.

Show 45 - We Demand An Unemployment Insurance Extension!
I'm Disgusted!!! The very Senators who are, in many ways responsible for our economic crisis and fell all over each other to give the banks and Wall Street bailouts are denying an unemployment insurance extension to the long term unemployed. I am letting you and them know what I think about that in no uncertain terms!

Show 44 - Small Business, Corporate America's Other Victim!
When a local business closes, we all suffer!
Everyone's saying that in this bad economy, small businesses not corporations will be doing the bulk of hiring. All of that sounds good until you look at what happens when corporate run stores compete with those small businesses.

Show 43 - The Sovereign State of Denial.
Are you a union person, a progressive, or just a member of the middle class who doesn't want the American dream to fade away? Are you tired of politicians who say one thing when they are campagning and do something else when elected? Are you tired of politicians who say that they are the champions of working people when running for office then pass laws that favor corporations over people once elected? Then you are going to love this tale of olde when knights were bold.

Show 42 - Who Is Divisive?
Some Democrats seem to be overly concerned about progressives dividing the party. What they fail to realize is that the Democratic party politicians are dividing the party by their actions. When working people see banksters and Wall Street getting bailouts while their homes are being repossesed. When working people see unemployment rise while Wall Street big-wigs get huge bonuses. When working people see almost every Democratic initiative that could help them compromised by internal bickering caused by the blue dogs, they either give up on the political process or, God forbid become Republicans or teabaggers. Progressives are not dividing the party, progressives just might be the ones who save the party by shining the light of truth on the Democratic politicians who would rather protect the corporations that support their campaigns with massive contributions.

Show 41 - Same Problem, Different Place!
Conservatives just love to blame government social programs for our economic problems. They figure if they make enough noise about those programs, they will get their pet teabaggers fired up and maybe no one will notice that the real cause of our problems is their free market, deregulatory philosophy that allows greedy corporations and Wall Street gamblers to soak the rest of us for everything they can get.
Now that Europe has it's own economic problems, our conservative windbags are trying to blame European government run social programs. Well wouldn't you know it, the same crew of corporate leeches and gamblers are "hard at work" over there!

Show 40 - Hey, I Can Draw On A Blackboard Too!
Rambling, manic, paranoid dialogue accompanies a hand fervently drawing a convoluted diagram on a cluttered blackboard. The audience pretends to understand everything and gives the speaker their unconditional approval. Are we in the lab of a noted scientist? Could the diagram be some strange genealogical chart? No, we're just watching a conservative talk show host explain his political theories. Theories that are so advanced, even he doesn't understand them.

Show 39 - Big Media: "Freedom of Speech, We Mean Ours, Not Yours!"
What does the Six o' Clock News, teabaggers and conservative talk radio have in common? All of the above have had an undue and in some cases, unfair influence on public opinion, our elected officials and by extension, national policy. All of the above wouldn't exist in their present form if the Fairness Doctrine were still in place. If you get ALL of your information from one-sided, biased sources, it can and will affect your decisions on election day and can do serious damage to our country.

Show 37 - Health Care Bill, Just The First Step!
As rational people, we should be gratified that passing the health care bill brings a small measure of security to American families. As realistic people, we have to realize that, due to the endless distortions, half-truths and out and out lies of the Republicans, the health care bill was watered down to placate them and is only an incremental measure, there must be more changes for a complete fix of America's health care problems.
Many of us wanted government run, single payer health care to give America's families complete peace of mind and security. What we have now is an incomplete fix to a problem that isn't going away. Although corporate lobbyist dollars can override our votes, we can't compromise the health and safety of our citizens just to protect corporate profits! By adopting single-payer health care, we are protecting an individual's rights, protecting a corporation's "right" to do business is nothing more than corporate welfare!

Show 36 - The Double Whammy, Age Discrimination In Hiring!
It's rough getting a job these days. For anyone between forty and sixty-four years old, it's virtually impossible. Although there are laws against age discrimination, hiring managers have become expert in skirting those laws.
All of this goes on with a wink and a nod from almost everyone, even so called "employment experts". Did you ever read an "advice" column on an internet job search site that "advises" you to drop years of experience from your resume to make you appear younger to a potential employer? We're talking about valuable experience that would be an asset in a sane society. The reason the "expert" is telling you to drop the experience is that age discrimination has become the rule, not the exception in the "good old USA".

Show 30 - Healthcare, What Were We Thinking?
Now that President Obama has firmly stated his position during his meeting with the Republicans, I feel compelled to revisit the issue of healthcare, with an eye towards urging the President to push for single payer healthcare. In order to fully understand how we wound up with a healthcare system that routinely denies coverage to many and is the most expensive one in the world, we have to look at it's history.

Show 29 - State of The Union Impressions.
What was notable about President Obama's 2010 State Of The Union was that It looks like he has finally realized that he doesn't have to seek the approval of the Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats to achieve hs agenda. He has made it clear that he will attain his goals with or without their help. His speech showed that he has finally made the unemployed and the beleagured middle class a priority.
I still disagree with him about Tim Geithner and Ben Bernanke. They are kind of like having wolves guard the hen house.
As someone who is not unfamiliar with the plight of working people in the USA, I have three suggestions that could help reduce unemployment or at least make life easier for those seeking work and for the poor and the middle class.

Show 27 - The Bully Pulpit!
Bully Pulpit was a term that President Theodore Roosevelt, 1906 Nobel Peace Prize winner used to illustrate the political power that a President has to champion a cause that's in the public interest and get a piece of legislation passed. These days, it's common knowledge that the bully pulpit is strongest in the first few months of a President's term. At that time, a President can shock and awe almost any legislation through Congress and the Senate.
Let's take a look at which issues had priority in those all important first few months of the Obama Presidency.

Show 26 - The Worst of Both Worlds!
Over the past twenty or so years, America's concept of what is fair to the middle class and poor has evolved, or should I say devolved. The average working person has lost almost any hope of being a part of the American dream. He or she has seen corporations eager to outsource his job to China or India and a federal government that has done little to prevent that from happening and, in fact has given outsourcing tacit and in some cases overt support. The first step in fixing a problem is recognizing that the problem exists.

Show 25 - The Great American Big Lie!
Remember the old slogan, "what's good for GM is good for America"? Back in the day, that was true. Corporations and working people through their unions had an unspoken agreement that made the American worker a partner in prosperity. That was the reason that we had a middle class and the highest standard of living in the world. Conservatives think that the slogan still applies today. I say that today's corporate greed has turned that phrase into the great American big lie.

They say that the devil is in the details. That couldn't be more true of the pending healthcare legislation. The disturbing thing is that most of the laws enacted in the past year that protect the average person, have many loopholes that allow corporations to continue their questionable practices.

Show 21 - All Things To All People.
When we voted for Barack Obama and a Democratic majority in Congress and the Senate, we expected to get a government that works for John and Jane Q. Public. As Democrats, we expected our electeds to put our needs before the needs of multi-national corporations. We expected a vast sea change from the previous eight years of pro big business, pro big money government. Well that didn't work out, did it?
We now have a two party system: The Republicans and The Bipartisans. The Republicans are unfied and have a party agenda that is basically conservative and pro big business, the Bipartisans are a conglomeration of progressive and Blue Dog Democrats who are Republican wannabes. When the Bipartisans, who are the majority in both houses need to pass legislation that improves the lot of John and Jane Q. Public such as a healthcare bill, they have a problem. The progressive side of the party has to negotiate with the Blue Dog side of the party and work out a compromise that usually winds up protecting big business' interests more than it protects the average person. Essentally, the Blue Dogs are the spoilers that are the Republicans ace in the hole.
Our President was elected to bring about change. His campaign slogan was "Change We Can Believe In".
One of his primary campaign promises was healthcare legislation that would put us on a par with every other industrialized nation. In order to accomplish that, he has to take a proactive role from day one. He had to personally lobby each and every member of Congress and the Senate and make his preferences known in no uncertain terms.
He had to do exactly what LBJ did in the sixties to get Medicare passed. He had to be the driving force that unified each and every Democratic Congressman and Senator and got them to support the bill. He didn't do that. His mantra was that he was seeking bipartisan support. How did that work out?

Show 20 - Their Words Hide Their Deeds!
Politicians like to use words that sound warm and fuzzy but are really cold and nasty. One example of those words is the phrase "Right To Work States, which is a deceptive term for the 22, mostly southern and western states that have laws that make it difficult to unionize a company and condemn many of the residents of those states to a lifetime minimum wage career at a big box store . The pseudo patriotic term Free Trade which basically means that corporations want little or no government regulation so they can ship your job overseas is another example.

Show 18 - My Ultimatum To Senate Blue Dogs!
A somewhat palatable health care bill passed in Congress. I congratulate them for doing the right thing. Now it's on to the Senate, where a health care bill with a public option faces a minefield of opposition. Republican opposition is a given, but the thing that disturbs me the most is the possibility of the bill being trashed by Blue Dog Democrats.
These turncoats were swept into office on President Obama's coattails. They were voted in to support an agenda that reverses the damage done by eight years of a government that transformed the USA into a place that we could barely recognize, a corrupt nation that is devoid of any regulatory protection for the average citizen.
The Republicans would like to keep it that way, with the Blue Dog's help.
