If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people - their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties - someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad; if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal." - John F. Kennedy

Making the Economy Fair
David Cay Johnston has an excellent article over at Mother Jones on getting the economy back on its feet. This is not a pleasant piece to read and if you are like me it might possibly make you mad. Read it anyway. I know some of this stuff but have never really stewed on it that much. I was doing OK, paying my taxes and mortgage and generally living the good life. Things have changed a bit and now this just really sucks. There is a huge opportunity to fix the way things work in this country but we really need to focus if we are to survive. The status quo is way out of whack as this article shows. Let's do something about it.
