I might add also...no one calls out the laborer for saving a few bucks on that chinese Mossberg shotgun he bought at Wal Mart. He has choices too because meanwhile, the mom & pop sporting goods store downtown is shuttered, along with the rest of main street. The common laborer tries not to notice because of much greater concern is whether or not a new In-N-Out Burger will open north of town. Is it any wonder the Repub's play them for fools?
Outsourcing wasn't "revenge on American workers," but rather corporations seeking higher profits. That's what corporations do in a capitalist economy where competition forces survival of the fittest. To call that "greedy," is to misunderstand free market capitalism.
Manufacturing output is strong. The number of jobs has declined for TWO reasons: outsourcing and automation.
Outsourcing is like gravity to water; capitalism will seek the lowest cost wage irrespective of geography.
Automation was the main driver behind job losses and things are about to get worse...5 million jobs over the next 5 years. Next up are taxi drivers, truck drivers and customer service reps.
Israel's war is our war. Make no mistake. Along with that comes a shared loss of freedom....from an industrial spying complex, airport screening, a hair-trigger militarized police force and the constant threat of attack.
I would like to hear your opinion on the drought conditions which caused hundreds of thousands of Syria's farmers to abandon their fields and flee to the cities. Do you believe that these impoverished former farmers ignited the civil war? Was climate change a major cause of this sad drama?
I take issue with this Professor Cole. The alternative might have proved costly in a re-election but it would have been the right thing to do. Besides, the tide is shifting; Israel is less and less viewed by American's in a positive light.
We're beginning to resemble the French third republic with our dysfunction.
Correct me if I'm wrong Professor Cole, but didn't Poincare solve the mid 20's financial and debt crisis in large part by raising taxes on the middle class?
It's easy to think the powers that be will eventually do the same here.

Governor Brown said it best....ignorant and unfit to be president.
Meanwhile, vast southern US desert land remains available for massive solar projects....
Thank you again Professor Cole for speaking the truth!

"Obama was made to trek to AIPAC."

I have always felt that a people are responsible for their governement's action, regardless of how they acquired the reigns to power.
Still waiting for Obama to publicly and explicitly denounce an unprovoked attack on Iran. Folks, it's the right thing to do.
