    ohioralph commented on the diary post I Just Found 29 Million Jobs by David Swanson.

    2011-09-02 16:48:47View | Delete

    Sea Urchin,
    Ron Paul issued a press release today calling for ending the wars and bringing the trooops home. http://www.lewrockwell.com/politicaltheatre/2011/09/jesse-benton-on-jobs/#more-5023

    ohioralph commented on the blog post With Economic Pessimism Rising, Americans Move Towards Keynesianism

    2011-08-26 11:27:25View | Delete

    More debt and money printing will create more of the same. Austerity of government spending should begin with the overseas empire. Bring the troops home, end the wars, end the malinvestment in weapons procurement, foreign aid and the breaking things and killing people business.
    With the end of this waste will come a vast increase in capital investment and jobs based on voluntary exchange. Voila, growth occurs, debt goes down.

    I wonder who would not like this plan. Could it be the Pentagon, war profassiteers, and their banker allies. War is a racket. Start there and then and then see what happens.

    2011-08-15 09:59:18View | Delete

    Warren Buffett is a crony capitalist. Anything he says or does is a direct reflection of political connections.

    I just called Marcy Kaptur’s office and requested a “no” vote.
    Staffer of course was nice but who knows whether the message will be delivered.

    2011-07-22 20:17:41View | Delete

    Well, pups if you would like to protect S/S,M&M, crush the Republican/Democrat, liberal/conservative paradigm, expose Wall Street banker military corruption, read the following: Debate over the debt ceiling has reached a fever pitch in recent weeks, with each side trying to outdo the other in a game of political chicken. If you believe some of the [...]

    ohioralph wrote a new diary post: Government Spending is a Parasite on the Private Economy

    2011-06-17 19:36:34View | Delete

    The key fallacy embedded in Keynesian economics and the GNP equation (C+I+G) is the idea that government spending adds to an economy’s health. In reality, the opposite is true: government spending subtracts from an economy’s health. The real economy is the private economy  there is no other. Government spending must come out of the private economy. In [...]

    ohioralph commented on the blog post Americans Turning Against Neo-Conservatism

    2011-06-17 12:37:14View | Delete

    The neo-conservatives are losing their grip on public opinion but readers of this blog need to understand that non-intervention does not mean isolationism and free trade does not mean free trade agreements. Non-intervention means ending all wars, closing all foreign bases, bringing all troops home. Free trade is encouraged but not subsidized with crony deals and tariffs. There is a big differnce. We are a long way from understanding this distinction. Certainly this is a political issue worth watching but be certain that you get the terminology straight.

    ohioralph commented on the blog post Come Saturday Morning: There Is No Downside for Michele Bachmann

    2011-04-02 09:00:20View | Delete

    The wild card ticket that will upset the Republithugs and the O’s is the Paul/Paul ticket. The Paul’s can make Bachmann’s $2 million look like petty cash. I then challenge the progressives to denounce the anti-war/militarism platform in favor of Obama.
    The big challenge is will progressives cross over in the primaries to defeat the beloved RINO’s to permit a contest of Paul/Paul vs Obama.

    O is Pro-torture, pro-Gitmo, Pro-Israel, Pro-Pharma, Pro AHIP, Pro-Bush.

    And Warren Buffet tells him that the GDP is growing.

    What more do we need?

    The unreported news of the day.

    Ron Paul’s Liberty PAC raised $725,000 in a one day money bomb on
    President’s Day.

    2011-02-12 06:12:14View | Delete

    “communist Islamofascism”, that really sums up the common fox news consumers understanding of any idea which is not Nascar, rush limabuagh, fox news and or gun freindly

    Add to this that Israel can do no wrong and you complete the audience of Glenn Beck and unfortunately to many Americans.

    Here is an article written by Mr. DiLorezo which counters this entire article as if anything that Krugmans says is worthy to read.

    ohioralph commented on the blog post Geithner Belatedly Backs Bill Allowing TARP Funds to Flow to Foreclosure Legal Services

    2010-12-18 13:08:24View | Delete

    This is a state issue. The appeal should be to the governor and/or attorney general. As usual Kaptur puts on a good show but when it comes to substance shie is MIA. Stay away from the federal government, the banks own them. Isn’s this apparent by Geithner’s actions.

    2010-12-09 21:09:40View | Delete

    Actually if Obama wanted to save his presidency, he would call for an immediate investigation, prosecution and jailing of all the banksters throughout the chain of title due to foreclosure fraud. In addition, all
    TBTF banks should be put into receivership, liquidated, merged what have you. Of course, this will not happen because Obama is bought and paid for by the banksters.

    How about a Ron Paul/Russ Fiengold ticket on the republican side and when it fails, run it as third party.

    Does Obama deserve to be reelected? If so will he call for the immediate investigation of foreclosure fraud throughout the chain of title from origination through the initiation of foreclosure action? If fraud is evident, indictment at every level, CEO’s included, of the process should proceed. If necessary and I am sure it would be, major banks will be put into receivership, restructured, liquidated whatever. If he will not do this, is he bought and paid for?
