We Need Employment Benefits, Not Another Permanent Welfare Program

Here we go again.  After a full year of grandstanding against another extension of unemployment benefits, some Republicans are ready to cave. “do we believe in free-market doctrine, which suggests that extended UI hurts the economy, or the Keynesian multiplier, which suggests that UI helps the economy?” If you ever wondered why it is so [...]

A PSA for the failed #OccupyDC barn-builders.

Well… shed builders, at least. Seriously, that’s not even close to being a barn. Moving along: as the link above notes, some of the people ‘occupying’ DC tried to put up a wooden structure today… and, apparently, was not able to get the blessed thing even half-done before the cops finally decided to put this [...]

No, the odds of a Democratic politician going to honor a hardcore abolitionist militant who helped start a war that ended up penalizing the Democratic party on the national level for seventy years are, [...]

Rick Perry’s Second Time At Bat

“If Rick Perry loses and goes back to Texas as its Governor, the man who has stood dominant in Texas for a decade will be seen as a loser for the first time — and not just a loser, but a fool too.” Last night on Fox News’ candidate forum, Governor MItt Romney defaulted to [...]

TDU’s New $150,000 Club Shows Teamster Bosses Still Doing Well Despite Recession

By the looks of it, it’s hard to tell there’s a recession going on by looking at the salaries some Teamster bosses are raking in. Every year, the Teamsters for a Democratic Union compiles the list of Teamster bosses earning six-figure salaries. The 2011 $150,000 Club was released on Friday and shows, unlike many of [...]
