Recall This: Gov. Walker raised $30.5 million - 66% of that from out-of-state - to his opponent’s $3.9 million – only 26% from out-of-state. Guess who won. Welcome to the brave new world of one dollar, one vote.

 Unmentionable: Ten minutes of thought will convince anyone but a banker that Wall Street's financial wizards most certainly have found a way to make billions handling the drug trade's money. The profits are not smuggled out of the country as $10s and $20s– what would they do with bales of bills in Cartagena?

 Tell Me A Story... Crossroads GPS, a tax-exempt front group that does not have to reveal who it is or where it gets its money, is spending millions on a new campaign to spread lies about the national debt, without mentioning that the main reasons for the growth of the debt are the Bush tax cuts and the Bush wars. Even with these handicaps, under Obama government spending as a portion of GDP keeps dropping. If you like the way big money is perverting the United States electoral process, send your 'Thank You ' notes to Chief Justice Roberts, c/o any big corporation.

 Null And Void: There is no evidence in the entire history of capitalism to support austerity as a remedy for economic conditions similar to today's. Europe's leaders know – or should know – that their policies will not work. So why do they persist?


“Before now, I had never really understood how the 1930s could happen. Now I do. All one needs are fragile economies, a rigid monetary regime, intense debate over what must be done, widespread belief that suffering is good, myopic politicians, an inability to co-operate and failure to stay ahead of events.” Martin Wolf.
