Anything PUBLIC is in danger of being dismantled: Public Libraries, Pub Schools, National Parks. Come Jan, the move to privatize all things benefiting society begins. Eventually SS, Medicare, VA, NOA (tracking weather!) will be privatized. Oligarchs who BOUGHT those in charge want it all.

I remember the phrase "they can't be allowed to melt back into society" re: the de-Baathification of Iraq after the war there. Like everything about that experience, the attempt was cynical, stupid, and botched. But there really should be a plan about what we do with guys like these in the future.

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

Tonight marks a milestone for all of us at the PBS News Hour. On this day 50 years ago, we aired our first broadcast. The show had a different name, but the same mission to deliver thoughtful & trustworthy journalism. Half a century later, we're still at it & guided by the same principles & mission.
