The following video is an interview with the author of The Wrecking Crew:
Notes:
Starting joke: 'Conservatives have destroyed the government...oh yeah? then why do I still have to vote' [Stephen Colbert is right. We didn't need to vote in the 2000 elections {also see Fahrenheit 9/11}- and probably even in 2004? - so until the illusion of voting is removed lets pretend that The Wrecking Crew did not smash the American government making it hollow and ineffectual and a mockery of the constitution].
Of course, The Wrecking Crew has not stopped there but seem intent of tearing apart the very fabric of American society and its freedom with lies repeated over and over and over till even republicans have begun to believe them.
Moving on, here is a video interview with the author of The Republican War On Science (but before watching it check out the reviews for 'The Republican War Against Women'):
Telling lies over and over again and scaring people half to death is the tried and true method of class warfare. To help diffuse some fear read the reviews (and possibly the book) of The Debt and The Deficit: False Alarms/Real Possibilities
Product Description
As the British trade deficit continues to grow, this trenchant, original and timely book on the US deficit and national debt offers much to readers on this side of the Atlantic.
The authors explain what national debts and deficits are, and what they are not. One thing they are not nearly as big as we think. Another thing they are not is a burden on the shoulders of our grandchildren. And one thing they are is a potential means of financing economic growth. Heilbroner and Bernstein do not shrug aside the debt and deficit. "The only remedy for our present frightened state of mind", they write, "is explanations that are simple but accurate, facts that will defuse unreasoning panic, and arguments that will stand up under the most skeptical examination."
