CONSORTIUM NEWS – In the late 19th Century, Samuel Bush moved to Ohio from Orange, New Jersey, where he had attended the nearby Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken. He made the first big move in his manufacturing career as an engineer with Buckeye Steel Castings Company, which produced gun barrels and railroad parts. Samuel Bush became a confidante of the company’s president, Frank Rockefeller, a brother of the enormously wealthy and powerful John D. Rockefeller, who owned Standard Oil. Another participant in Buckeye Steel was railroad baron E.H. Harriman. . .CONSORTIUM NEWS – In the late 19th Century, Samuel Bush moved to Ohio from... more

We were as shocked as you were that a zumba teacher from Kennebunkport, Maine has been accused of being an instructor by day and a call girl by night. We, like you, were pondering why she didn’t have zumba classes at night, but more importantly, what is a little town like Kennebunkport doing with a zumba workout plan? There are lots of towns even bigger that have plenty of prostitutes, but no zumba. This brings to mind, that old Donna Summer lyric, “she works hard for the money”. We see they already have a new instructor. The Italian male prostitute is back and this time, he’s singing a ballad called Maine Squeeze, or as we call it, the Zumba Song.We were as shocked as you were that a zumba teacher from Kennebunkport, Maine has been... more

Recently, former Secretary of Labor made some valid observations on President Obama’s speech in Kansas about economic equality. He said that he was encouraged and is willing to help the President bring a mandate in his second term. Mr. Reich, on his blog elaborates the key points which will help bring about economic equality:
- Tax Financial transactions
- Use tax revenue to create good schools and access to higher education
- Resurrect the Glass-Steagall Act
- Cap the size of Wall Street
- Require big banks that got bailed out to modify mortgages of Americans that owe more than their homes are worth.
These points are very insightful but overlook some facts: President Obama has tried to implement these ideas but has been obstructed by Congress- on both sides of the isles. Furthermore, I blame Mr. Reich and the Clinton Administration for putting the U.S. economy in this position.Recently, former Secretary of Labor made some valid observations on President... more

Ever since I could remember, the Republican Party always accused the Democratic Party of being a bunch of ‘tax and spend liberals’. This strategy continues to serve the Republican Party well to this day. However, those in the know can rebuke this agreement to its core. If you are a conservative, you may want to take a seat before you continue to read this blog.
Since the advent of the twentieth century, almost all Republican administrations’ have expanded the role of government. By expanding the role of government, they raise the national debt to unparalleled proportions. Most people are under the illusion that Republicans reduce the role of government in our lives. However, I beg to differ because I have history and economics on my side.
First, The Reagan Administration ran the deficit up to it highest level. The reason is that he put all the money into defense spending and cutting taxes for wealthy Americans and Corporations. He called this theory “Trickle Down Economics”. This theory states that the very rich will benefit the most which will then give the economy a boost to provide for the rest of us poor souls. Needless to say that history proved this theory a disaster. In 1980 when George H.W. Bush (41st) was running as a Presidential Candidate for the Republican Party (he later became Ronald Reagan’s Vice President) he said that “Trickle Down Economics” was “Voodoo Economics”. How prophetic those words had become because on October 19th 1987, the stock market crashed (the day was soon to be called “Black Monday”). It took two years for the economy to recover. Consequently, George H.W. Bush became the 41st President of the United States and followed the same “Voodoo Economics” his predecessor had created. However, it was those same principles that cost him the 1992 Presidential Election.
In 2000, President Clinton’s Administration cleaned up all the damage that the Reagan-Bush Administration did to the American economy. The Clinton Administration used common sense and cut wasteful spending in all government departments. This truly was the age of a meaner, leaner government that the Republicans always preached about but was carried out by a Democrat. The U.S economy hadn’t had a surplus since President Andrew Jackson (the seventh President of the United States, a Democrat).
The economic future looked bright until the flawed election of George W. Bush (43rd). He inherited a surplus and he spent it just as fast as he could on two wars, expansion of more government agencies, tax cuts, and a bunch of tireless wasteful spending. And before you knew it, we had another record deficit that exceeded the Reagan-Bush Administration combined. Moreover, Bush 43rd Administration failed to do what was necessary to stop the “Great Recession”. In addition, Bush 43rd administration enjoyed a majority Republican Congress that approved all of his budgets with no questions asked.
Recently the American people elected a Democrat (President Barack Obama) to get us out of the mess that we allowed another Republican Administration to get away with. When will the American electorate learn that the real party of tax and spend is the G.O.P. and not the Democrats? As history as a guide, it does not look good for the Republican Party. And I didn’t even mention the S&L bailout involving the Bush Family when Bush 41 was President.
The current Republican Party is good on several issues; fighting the culture wars, starting wars, lowering taxes for the very wealthy and corporations, misinformation of facts, and raising the national debt. In a nut shell, that is the Republican Party. And we, the American Public are to be blamed. When things are good we elect a Republican but when things go shitty we elect a Democrat to get us out of our economic fix. We demand more from Democrats than from the other party in a shorter time. This is totally unfair at every level.
Haven’t we learned anything about the Republicans/Conservatives? They care about their bottom line. They will use whatever tactics they deem necessary to control power and get over on the little guy. Republican/Conservatives believe in the “Free Market”. They do not care if you suffer or get hurt. Wake up America and realized that Republicans/Conservatives think that you are “Suckers”.http://1lovejoy.wordpress.com/2011/01/31/the-republican-partythe-party-of-big-governmen... more

Representative Dana Rohrabacher lays out the truth on the House floor. Starting in 1992 with George H.W. Bush we have been on a path to a one world government. All of the climate treaties including in Copenhagen are just disguises for this, the ultimate plan, a Global Government. This will not be the Utopian world alliance some of you are hoping for. No, this will be cuts, loss of jobs, a global common money, essentially, great for the elite and bad for you. This is essentially what Climategate is all about. If you follow the money you will find out what this is all about.Representative Dana Rohrabacher lays out the truth on the House floor. Starting in... more

Dick Cheney was already going down in history as one of the most influential vice presidents ever. Now he's taking flak for being one of the most vocal ex-VPs, too. Since leaving office, Cheney has gone from White House booster No. 2 to White House critic No. 1. Agree with him or not, however, he's hardly an outlier: There's nothing more American than ex-presidents and VPs slamming their successors.
If that makes Cheney unpatriotic, he's in good company. There's a proud tradition of former executive-branch leaders disparaging sitting presidents. The most notorious example—the ur-ex-presidential critic—is Herbert Hoover. After losing the presidency to Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1932, Hoover spent the next nine years railing on him. Like Cheney, Hoover was a conservative Republican. He thus believed that the New Deal insulted American values and that the Roosevelt administration "violated the principles that reach the very foundation of our nation and race." Hoover quieted down after Pearl Harbor, when the country rallied around the president. But he returned to form under John F. Kennedy, whom Hoover called a socialist.
But Hoover wasn't even the first. Presidential and vice presidential disputes stretch back to the founders. During the election of 1800, sitting veep Thomas Jefferson slammed sitting president John Adams—his own boss—as a monarchist. Adams, in turn, painted Jefferson as a revolutionary and atheist who would destroy the churches. (That was before 1804, when the 12th Amendment was passed, putting both president and vice president on a single ticket.) After losing the presidency in 1828, John Quincy Adams made a second career out of criticizing Andrew Jackson and pro-slavery Democrats from his post-presidential perch as a congressman from Massachusetts.Dick Cheney was already going down in history as one of the most influential vice... more
