Keith Olbermann:The Four Great Hypocrisies of the Debt Deal

Keith’s Special Comment covers the “four great hypocrisies” of the debt deal and the necessity of taking the governance of this nation back from politicians. Keith Olbermann gives his take on the Debt Deal that just passed. He points out the hypocrisies of politicians and more specifically those of the Republican party. As usual Olbermann is on point. I’d like to focus on two main points, the cause of America’s money troubles and the ultimate solution. Everyone’s going to have differing opinions depending on their political affiliation. Republicans are going to see is a democratic problem, Democrats are going to...

Poll Shows 71% Disapprove Of Republican Handling Of Debt Ceiling Negotiations

    I think everyone can agree that the debt ceiling situation is way past ridiculous. We can also agree that most politicians are more self-interested than people interested. In this case the people aren’t in favor of how the Republicans are handling the negotiations.

The Republican leadership is holding up the whole country and putting people’s lives in jeopardy during one of the worst financial situations since...

Why Eating Healthy Costs More

    It’s true, eating  healthy costs more. At least it does upfront, the personal and national (not to mention genetic) health costs down the line are far cheaper. The problem is with limited funds to feed yourself or your family it’s a difficult choice to make for many.

Corporations lobby and buy off agencies and politicians in order to do what’s best for...
