monkeybreath commented on the diary post What Did You Think Would Happen? by masaccio.
Fournier is great friends with rove. Which came first the job or the friendship? Is the job the result of the friendship or the other way around? Could the corruption of our institutions, the looting of our country, the ascent of stupidity and selfishness have been possible without the active participation and support of big [...]

monkeybreath commented on the diary post 21 reasons why I will not vote for Obama in 2012 by Barefoot Accountant.
In 76 the great southern unknown dixicrat carter became president and turned to the right so hard that Edward Kennedy strongly contested his re-election bid. In 92 the great southern dixicrat clinton became president adopted conservative policies-cutting welfare,shipping jobs overseas, killing glass-stiegal and signing the commodities moderization act thus setting the stage for 2008 crisis.

I recall Impeachment and being a true fdr democrat are off the table Pelosi on Keith’s show recently saying that some bad policies could be remedied by a constitutional amendment-as if they would [...]

What are the odds you were banned by right wing extremists posing as left wing bloggists. the duplicity runs deep in furtherance of trojan horse dems like blow job billy and oblabla who gladly do the dirty work of the right while pretending otherwise. Who signed the breakdown of glass stegal, and the commodities futurization [...]

monkeybreath commented on the diary post What About Misconduct in the Don Siegelman Prosecution? by RogerShuler.
During the 70′s when i as earning my pre law poli sci degree we all understood the regulatory capture had reduced the effectiveness of most of the various federal departments but felt that the corruption at the DOJ was far less than say the DOE or Interior. Now I suggest that so many hard core [...]

monkeybreath commented on the blog post Sen. Wyden Tries to Defend Giving Republicans Cover on Medicare
Wyden is counting on everyone forgetting his treachery by 2016 when he is up for re-elction. Maybe FDL needs to create an area where this type of behavior is recorded and kept in a prominent place so that it is not forgotten but acted on by true dems-us

Oboma = planned incompetence and prepared dishonesty. Not only doing the republican’s work for them but destroying the democratic party at the same time. Not one penny to any republican or democrat this year, going to give to the avon walk for the cure and PP instead

monkeybreath commented on the blog post This Is Your Defense of Goldman Sachs and Wall Street?
you cant have anything but a conflict of interest once a bank/trading firm has a prop desk that trades for the house. At some point a recommendation made to a client is going to be seen by the prop desk as a loser and they are going to bet the opposite way. Then you have a client long ie mortgage bonds and the house short. Then inconvenient questions arise like did the client get put into the trade so that the in house prop desk could take the other side. I wonder if during the creation of the euro and the hiding of greece’s debt the banks knew they would be able to take the other side and have been salivating in anticipation. Does anyone think that derivative buyers corporate or government knew the risks and costs as well as the firms that sold those instruments to them???

monkeybreath commented on the diary post We can’t win a war with Iran not if they have half a brain. by ThingsComeUndone.
The problems caused by this war would likely create the “Shock Doctrine” moment ala Naomi Klein’s excellent book and movie and lead to a Chillian type coup to the right here and in Europe

prop 13 is a complex issue in that a state govt or school district needs over say a decade, more revenue due to inflation to do the same job = need for more bucks.
People on fixed incomes especially retirees do not have more income to pay higher taxes = no new taxes
prop 13 took care of the fixed income and everyone else but leaves the state without enough funds to do the same quality of service providing.
What was needed in my opinion was a system of revenue anticipation bonds based on higher taxes being levied but unpaid until the taxpayer dies and the property sold or debt paid by enheritors = maybe a middle point??? -

monkeybreath commented on the diary post Marx in the Morning by SouthernDragon.
when the post office was deregulated around 1970 private firms like ups took over the profitable areas like freight and left the loss leader area of first class mail with the usps. Like the second industry deregulated, airlines- very few are happy with the results.
