Stealing a tube of toothpaste is a felony, but wiping $19 trillion from the economy due to fraudulent banking practices is rewarded with full government bailouts. Again, laws and law enforcement are designed to protect the rich, not us.

America needs to start recognizing the human cost of our quality of life. Many people around the world suffer to support our lifestyle.

GDP per capita and growth is just about the worst way to measure the health of a society. Thought experiment: your landlord jacking up your rent increases GDP, but what happens to your quality of life?

Foreign aid is under attack because China is better at it. Our influence is slipping, and weak men think isolationism is not only possible, but our only option. The era of American dominance is coming to a close.

People who only watch a single news station and only read one book should never be allowed to speak from a place of authority. Entertainment news is not informing the public.

We were the bad guys all along. We became the world’s richest, most powerful nation on the planet, and we abused that privilege as much as we could.

The entire Reagan administration coming out of Iran-Contra unscathed was, i think, really the deathknell of the republic.
There's no scandal that an administration can't weather anymore, no matter how heinous.
Bush and Ronnie should have HUNG for Iran-Contra.

If you’re actually interested in reducing government waste, look at how much we’re paying for public employee health care plans. Insurance companies are making a killing ripping off both the public and private sector.

Conservatives cry about veteran suicides all day but have no problem attacking the trans veterans. Do their lives not count? Does their service not matter?

The cult is infamously weak on workers rights, like trying to shut down OSHA for example, and they want us to believe that being factory jobs is a good thing? Who exactly will be filling these millions of jobs?

Healthcare is a shining example of the efficiencies of privatization. Nothing says efficiency like billions of dollars in profit for shareholders and medical bankruptcy for the working class.

We’re the richest country in the world. The highest GDP per capita. There is no excuse for having a single hungry or unsheltered person unless it is on purpose…

Economic investment and stability is more effective than law enforcement at keeping us safe. The same is true for global economic stability and war. The latter of which is only good for tyrants and profiteers.
