A Conversation Worth Having Tobias Michaels 2012-07-05 2:09 AM
The Nation magazine recently held a roundtable blog discussion that debated the effects of the failed Wisconsin recall. The discussion is important because of the seriousness of its subject. Such open and frank conversations have been sadly quite rare, so it is something of a credit to the Nation that they hosted this discussion. (text/plain)

Money, Power, and Politics Ann Robertson and Bill Leumer 2012-06-27 6:04 AM
When it is a question of the efficacy of money in politics and workers fail to put up a fight, money prevails. The moral is: money counts — but only if we let it. (text/plain)

Republicrats Campaign About Jobs and Do Nothing About High Unemployment John Leslie 2012-06-27 1:01 AM
Recently, Mitt Romney made a stop on his “Jobs Tour” in upper Bucks County, Pennsylvania just outside of Philadelphia. His appearance was supposed to be, interestingly, at a local WAWA store (for those out-of-state, WAWA is a convenience store chain) Why is this interesting? Because WAWA, like so many employers these days, is a low wage, no benefit “job creator.” (text/plain)

In the End, Ed Has To Lie Sudhama Ranganathan 2012-06-26 1:15 PM
In America we like to believe the days of harassment and discrimination are over. We like to believe that since the many rulings on civil rights, things have changed and we can just let loose and allow things to progress. It is tempting to do so. After all, we have an African American president and so many point to that fact and ask if that isn't proof enough. They might say, “What happened to all that talk of hope and change? I thought this was it.” (text/html)

The Affordable Care Act, Supreme Court, and Health Care as a Human Right Mark Vorpahl 2012-06-22 3:04 AM
Any day the Supreme Court is expected to rule on the constitutionality of Obama’s Affordable Care Act (ACA). Most at risk is this act’s “individual mandate” which requires everyone to buy health insurance from a private insurer or face a steep fine. If the “individual mandate” is ruled unconstitutional, it is possible that the Supreme Court justices will throw out the ACA in its entirety. Even if they agree to keep the ACA intact while rejecting the individual mandate, this will put the entire bill in jeopardy since it is this provision that makes the ACA economically feasible.

Behaving Like You've Lost Something Sudhama Ranganathan 2012-06-19 1:02 PM
This past weekend the election played out its expected drama in typical fashion for recent elections. It's typified our national elections since January of 2009. We had an issue come up over legislation that those debating it made more out of than was warranted by what was in the legislation itself – or in this case an executive order. Typical of what is being argued over, there is more media scramble, transient flash and argument than substance. That is because the debates have been over issues they don't seem really intent on doing anything about in the end. By that I mean issues both sides have had a hand in, to one extent or another, leaving voters pushed to the side for the purposes of enacting a distracting drama for yet again another year. It's like a commercial selling a product that finds itself able to deliver less and less each year. (text/html)
