Weekend Reading
R.I.P. - G.O.P. Edition
Carrying on my thoughts that the GOP is so beyond reality at this point that the only way to slap them back to reality is to root for (I'll regret saying this...) Speaker Nancy Pelosi. (oh the shame!). But seriously, five years into this and we're $4 trillion more into debt, corruption is rampant, and the focus in congress is FMA, flag burning and the pledge. Pathetic. So here's some thoughts and commentary along these lines.
Betting on Republican Values: Internet gambling and the GOP campaign to protect us from freedom
The President's Rotten Record on Trade
Why George W. Bush is the most protectionist president since Herbert Hoover
The Republican Spending Explosion
When the Republicans gained control of Congress in 1994, they promised to eliminate the deficit and reduce wasteful spending. For several years, the GOP partly upheld its commitment by modestly curtailing spending growth and balancing the budget.
Feds sharpen secret tools for data mining
U.S. intelligence agencies have invested millions of dollars since 9/11 on computer programs that search through financial, communications, travel and other personal records of people in the US.
