A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

Needed: a New "New Deal"

As the country readies for the inauguration of Barack Obama as President of the United States (whether he is truly qualified or not), the nation faces certain choices regarding its future. If I may be brief on this particular occasion, what is needed is an effort along the lines of the New Deal as put forward by Franklin Roosevelt in 1933 and later. Another way of putting it is We need a mixed economy, not an unfettered capitalist "globalized" economy. We must fight with all our might against the globalized financial system as it has come to be.
