For Immediate Release

Here is the link. I was asked once what the federal government should do about the upcoming institutional collapse. I suggested creating a time travel machine so we could go back in time and undo what Generation Greed has done, because I didn't have another idea. But now I do.

The federal government should think carefully about Chapter 9 of the bankrputcy code, and be prepared to set some standards. How bad does life have to be in a community before it is allowed to stop paying some of its burdens from the past, such as debts, pensions and retiree health care? Do those who are not of the executive and political class have to be left to starve in the street? Do public schools need to be eliminated? Does the tax burden need to be increased to a level current residents couldn't possibly pay, with storm troppers to be known as "pension collectors" sent in to toss them out as their homes are sold out from under them? Do the police need to stop protecting people from crime?  There needs to be a standard, and it needs to be the same for all.

Press Release

The sad thing for Generation Greed is that eventually it will have to end. It will have extracted so much from our future that there is nothing left to take. But in Albany, they don't think that far in advance. All they want is two more years to sign contracts with each other guaranteeing themselves even more future benefits and exemptions from cost, contracts that will be unassailable regardless of the consequences. And though elections are rigged, they still want to disguise the consequence of past deals until after the November takes place, so they can be assured of going back for more.

So how is it that a $400 million MTA budget deficit, now assumed to be a $525 billion budget deficit, just goes away? The answer is that the MTA will borrow $525 billion to get through November. In fact, it has already borrowed $475 million in "revenue anticipation notes" for revenue that was not actually anticipated to come. Since the MTA anticipated it, it could claim a balanced budget. Now it will just borrow $525 million more, for a total of $1 billion. Younger generations will be paying for that forever, with nothing in exchange. And they rejoice in Albany, while pretending $billions in borrowing does not exist.

 
 
Hi Gov.
 
Finally getting around to understanding "in partnership and sponsorship" of organization we pay for and you now deem corrupt and doing something about it-bravo.  If in the right hands-great honest results that benefit the community, but we have an awfull lot of hands taking from the community, and not needed when similar work is  done for FREE.

Many say the Democratic Party is a, “big tent”. But how big is this tent? I would say there are three types of Democrats: Progressive Democrats, Moderate/Neo-Liberal Democrats, and Blue Dog/Conservative Democrats. I place myself in the first group. Progressives make up most of the Democratic Party, but not necessarily a majority. Progressives are socially libertarian, and support government intervention in certain parts of the economy. Moderates agree most of the time with progressives, but will show differences depending in which parts of the country they live in. For example, moderates on the East Coast will differ from progressives on mostly fiscal issues like the deficit, while moderates in the South and Northwest will differ on social issues such as abortion, stem-cell research, and gay rights.
