The Economy under the Democratic/Republican Uni-Party

One of the greatest economic failures in history was a gamble not justified in any economics text. The gamble was that it would somehow improve the U.S. economy to

-embrace NAFTA type agreements including the disastrous and worst of the NAFTA like agreements: the Trans Pacific Partnership.
-lower taxes for the rich and corporations to an unprecedented level and
-rid ourselves of the regulations established in the 1930s to prevent another great depression

Whistleblowers under the Democratic/Republican Uni-Party

Obama and his democrats have prosecuted whistleblowers to a greater extent than any other president in the history of the United States of America. Below are a few examples. See references for a more complete list.

Civil Rights Under the Democratic/Republican Uni-Party

In our history there have been times when civil rights have been suspended, such as the Civil War and World War II, but they have always been during the War only and some sort of due process remained. What we have now is a situation worse by both the length - over ten years - and extent of deprivation of constitutional rights. We should examine just some of the specifics.

The Environment under the Democratic/Republican Uni-Party

Policy specifics reveal democrats and republicans have long followed the same course while ignoring dangers of a warming planet, a warming acidic ocean, and massive water shortages.

Fired for Telling the Truth, Jailed for Documenting the Truth

‎"Maj. Gen. Peter Fuller says the Afghan government is erratic, ungrateful, and isolated from reality." And I might add evil and corrupt. Fuller gets a lot of credit from me for telling the truth. I wish one of the Generals or Admirals during the Vietnam War had done the same or resigned in protest instead of cowardly going along with a war they knew was wrong.

Afghanistan Promises to Side with Pakistan in War Against US

I could not make this up. After over ten years, a huge part of our national treasure that should have been spent on our infrastructure, and many lives lost or ruined our handpicked Afghanistan leader promises to side with Pakistan in a war against the United States. Even after his Afghanistan "drawdown" allegedly to be completed by December of 2012, Obama will have twice as many troops in Afghanistan as were there on the day he was inaugurated. Why? What have we gained by transferring our wealth to thugs and terrorists in Pakistan and Afghanistan under either Bush or Obama?

A Cautionary Tale and a Way Ahead

Iceland, like the United States, had a huge budget surplus before national and international bankers through fraud and illegal activities stole it from us and made us a huge debtor nation while also largely diminishing the middle class. Iceland, like the United States, did it by eliminating bank and financial regulations in order to privatize banks. Like the United States, the results were disastrous.

Unlike the United States, Iceland did something about it. They elected politicians who put the interest of Iceland before that of international bankers and refused to pay off a fraudulent loan to the international community.

The Lesser or Greater Evil? Perspective from the Black Agenda Report

The author, Bruce A. Dixon, kindly gave permission to publish the below in full from the Black Agenda Report as long as there was a reference to the original article. That reference is here: Barack Obama VS Those Craaaazy Republicans: Is He the Lesser Evil, or the More Effective Evil?

Congress Passes Obama's Three NAFTA Agreements that even Bush could not push through.

There are very few economic axioms as clearly and solidly established and proven over decades as NAFTA agreements work against the American worker. So the democrats and republicans do agree on destroying US jobs and Obama did get that part of his "Jobs Bill" passed. By proven record in the economy - as in war, civil rights, and the environment - Obama is the greater of two evils.
