2004

[catscradle]

I've signed up to volunteer for Dennis Kucinich for the 2004 election. Over the past 5 months I've been studying this guy and I'm very impressed with him. He's got a long track record for standing up for what he believes in - I'm sold on him as the only viable choice for the democratic party. And when all is said and done, how the hell can he do worse than George II?

I recommend at least looking over his website:

DENNIS KUCINICH: THE PROGRESSIVE CHOICE: http://www.kucinich.net/

As a candidate for President, I offer a different vision for America, one which separates me from the other candidates. I am the only candidate for President who will take this country away from fear and war and tax giveaways, and use America's peace dividend for guaranteed health care for all, ending health care for profit. I am the only candidate who will stop the privatization of social security and bring the retirement age back to 65.

As President, I will cancel NAFTA and the WTO, restore our manufacturing jobs, save our family farms, create full employment programs, create new jobs by rebuilding our cities and schools. As President, I will repeal the Patriot Act to regain for all Americans the sacred right of privacy in our homes, our libraries, our schools.

This is a grassroots campaign to take back America. Join me from your cities, your towns, your farms and your campuses. (Presidential Debate, ABC News, 5/3/03) 6/10/2003

I don't think he should have done it either time. He's not looking to any other economic solution to this resession.

I don't think your president is being Keynesian at all. Keynesian would be to give it to those you call the right people.

Long term investment doesn't seem to be the goal in our system any longer - it's all take the money and run NOW. =/


That is too bad...

In terms of other monopolies - republicans have long believed that the government should stay out of the market completely and let corps do as they please - that means deregulation.

Yeah. From what I know of republicans they don't seem to be the smartest people when it comes to economics.

No, but it's all the people are going to look at in the short term.

(nod) That is also bad. I am not a Friedman fan, but I agree with him that there is no thing like a free lunch. Everything we get has to be paid for in the end.
