TasteofFreedom commented on the blog post Think Progress Shows Stunning Hypocrisy On Government Spying
Right on DS. The fact that you’re getting grief even on this list for pointing out CAP’s hypocrisy shows that the problem of the spinelessness of the left goes a lot deeper than the opportunists at CAP.

Facts wrong: 501c3s do not have to make their donors public. You do not know what you’re talking about.

TasteofFreedom commented on the blog post Antibiotic Resistance Represents “Catastrophic Threat”
Great idea. Let’s price all the poor people who show up in emergency rooms out of antibiotics, or price them into taking half a dose of antibiotics, thereby further propagating MRSA. That would be a brilliant epidemiological strategy.

80% of antibiotics are used in industrial farming to fatten up pigs and chickens. This is the real issue. See this.

We need more than lobbying reform. We need advocates unwilling to roll over for the Obama administration like the Veal Pen gun control groups have done.

Now you’re being dishonest. You yourself said it was “grounds for military action.” Please. You’re foundering around. As for “we need to be focused,” I assure you the USG is focused, but not on the latest bombastic nonsense emanating from Pyongyang. Frankly it’s you who need some focus.

Completely agree. Duly noted too that we still have no response from DSWright regarding what to do. The only conclusion: this is just mindless bellicosity chasing a headline. FDL trending downward.

TasteofFreedom commented on the diary post Not New and Certainly Not Improved: Bowles-Simpson: V. 2.0 by TomThumb.
Let’s not forget the other rats that are supporting this , including creepy Ed Rendell, billionaire Mike Bloomberg and his money handler Rattner the rat, never-met-a-banker-I didn’t-like Alice Rivlin, Tony the bounder Villaraigosa, Tim not-Wirth much. You can bet they’re not going to be making $16K when they’re 95 years old, unless they tax shelter their loot [...]

TasteofFreedom commented on the diary post Robert Samuelson’s Psychological Problems by Dean Baker.
The U.S. _is_ suffering from a psychological problem: People like Samuelson are psychologically incapable of seeing there’s a demand problem, because that would create unbearable cognitive dissonance in their neoliberal noggins. Too bad there isn’t a pill for that.

TasteofFreedom commented on the blog post GDP Drops As War Economy Slows Down
There’s another approach to this, and another explanation. I know it’s customary on the liberal left these days to think that the boundaries of macroeconomics extend from Paul Krugman to Milton Friedman/John Taylor/Raghuram Rajan. But there actually is a left critique of Keynesianism out there, pioneered by Paul Sweezy and the Monthly Review school, which takes issue with both the right wing’s fantasies and models like military Keynesianism. Too complicated to lay out here, but the bottom line is capitalism has a long term stagnation problem that neither Taylor’s or Krugman’s suggestions will solve. It’s also quite different from the left libertarian approaches of Yves Smith. It’s laid out in Bob McChesney and John Bellamy Foster’s book. See this too. Time we had a real left political economy again.

Remind me again why Joseph Cassano is not in jail and why SEC settled accounting fraud charges when AIG was run by Greenberg? Anyway, should be interesting to watch Tim Geithner on the witness stand, not to mention the document discovery, which I’m sure the Empire’s judges will seal.
