Monday, April 12, 2021The Basic Deal Between Corporate America and the GOP is Alive and Well For four decades, the basic deal between big corporations and politicians has been simple. Corporations provide campaign funds. Politicians reciprocate by lowering corporate taxes and doing whatever else corporations need to boost profits.
Wednesday, April 7, 2021How Corporations Crush the Working Class The most dramatic change in the system over the last half-century has been the emergence of corporate giants like Amazon and the shrinkage of labor unions.
Friday, April 2, 2021What if we actually taxed the rich? Income and wealth are now more concentrated at the top than at any time over the last 80 years, and our unjust tax system is a big reason why.
Monday, March 29, 2021The Bigot Party The "surge" of migrants has been fabricated by Republicans in order to stoke fear -- and, not incidentally, to justify changes in laws they say are necessary to prevent non-citizens from voting.
Sunday, March 28, 2021Why Is Amazon Abusing Its Workers? Because It Can The most dramatic change in American capitalism over the last half century has been the emergence of corporate behemoths like Amazon and the simultaneous shrinkage of organized labor.
Tuesday, March 23, 2021Bessemer and the Power Shift The most dramatic change in American capitalism over the last half century has been the emergence of corporate behemoths like Amazon and the simultaneous shrinkage of organized labor.
Wednesday, March 17, 2021The Biggest Deficit You've Never Heard Of America has a deficit problem. But the country's biggest deficit isn't the federal budget deficit. It's the deficit in public investment.
Monday, March 15, 2021How Bidenomics Can Unite America A quarter century ago, I and other members of Bill Clinton's cabinet urged him to reject the Republican's proposal to end welfare. It's clearer than ever that conservative economists arguing that tax cuts for the rich create jobs are simply wrong.
Wednesday, March 10, 2021Biden Must Get Manchin and Sinema to Fall in Line America is at a turning point on voting rights -- one that's almost as critical as the mid-1960s when the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts were passed.
Tuesday, March 9, 2021This Is Biden's LBJ Moment America is again approaching a crucial decision-point on the most fundamental right of all in a democracy -- the right to vote.
Monday, March 1, 2021Why Trump's Takeover of the GOP is Great for Biden and the Democrats (but a Potential Disaster for America) Donald Trump formally anointed himself head of the Republican Party at Sunday's Conservative Political Action Conference.
Sunday, February 28, 2021The Only Way Democrats Will Get Anything Done If we have any hope of safeguarding our democracy and ushering in transformative change, Democrats must wield their power to get rid of the filibuster -- and fast.
Friday, February 26, 2021The Freedom to Freeze In Texas, tycoons are the only winners from climate change. Everyone else is losing badly. Adapting to extreme weather is necessary but it's no substitute for cutting emissions, which Texas is loath to do.
Monday, February 22, 2021Unrigging the GOP's Minority Rule The Republican Party is shrinking. It's lost the popular vote in seven of the past eight Presidential elections. Since Trump's attempted coup, more Americans are abandoning it every day.
Tuesday, February 16, 2021No Compromising with the GOP Cult There is no "center" between the reality-based world and the conspiracy-fueled, hate-filled Republican Party. The problems the country is facing cannot be solved with milquetoast, centrist solutions -- they demand immediate, bold action.
Sunday, February 14, 2021Convicted or not, Trump is history -- it's Biden who's changing America While most of official Washington has been focused on the Senate impeachment trial, Congress is moving ahead with Joe Biden's American Rescue Plan, which expands healthcare and unemployment benefits and contains one of the most ambitious efforts to reduce child poverty since the New Deal.
Tuesday, February 9, 2021Cancel Perks for the Worst President in History How should the nation respond to an ex-president who has incited an insurrection, brought our democracy to the brink of destruction, and left so much pain and suffering in his wake?
Sunday, February 7, 2021The Monstrous Predicament Trump Left Behind This week's Senate trial is unlikely to convict Donald Trump of inciting sedition against the United States. At least 17 Republican senators are needed for conviction, but only five have signaled they'll go along.
Tuesday, February 2, 2021Why Republicans Won't Agree to Biden's Big Plans and Why He Should Ignore Them The multiple crises engulfing America are huge. The window of opportunity for addressing them is small. If ever there was a time for boldness, it is now.
Monday, February 1, 2021Biden Must Not Surrender The multiple crises engulfing America are huge. The window of opportunity for addressing them is small. If ever there was a time for boldness, it is now.
