Saturday, October 10, 2009A Georgist Review of Michael Moore's “Capitalism: A Love Story†Moore is at his muckraking best again in “Capitalism: A Love Story,†a series of selective (to be fair, there's a lot to select from) jabs at what he calls Capitalism. This time, however, his target is so big – bigger than even the health care industry in his last, and better-focused opus, “Sicko†– that he misses the target at times.

Tuesday, November 26, 2013The Pope's Economic Plan Today, Pope Francis released an 84-page document, known as an apostolic exhortation, called an Official Platform for his papacy by Reuters. Frankly, most of it is arcane religious doctrine and prescriptions to this atheist, but the pope's economic plan ought to be of interest to everyone.

Thursday, April 14, 2016Canadian Born Ted Cruz fools a lazy court to continue his quest for the presidency Ted Cruz is a Canadian born citizen, probably ineligible to be President/Vice President. Conservative? Family man? It looks more like Cruz is a cruising swinger with an open marriage (his wife supposedly knows about his affairs and has told his staff it's OK with her).

Sunday, November 24, 2013Cheating and the Corporate Cannibals (Video & Slideshow) I met with long-time Finance and Land reporter, Fred Harrison: Research Director of the London-based Land Research Trust, in New York City, a couple of months ago. We talked about the vast wealth inequities allowed by land monopolizers and rent-avoiders like Goldman Sachs. The cost in New York City alone is in the billions. Worldwide, it is in the trillions.

Monday, April 18, 2011Solving the debt crisis without raising taxes or cutting spending: U.S. Notes I sent the following email off to a couple of reporters at CNBC - that right-wing in-the-box bastion of capitalism. It had to be short, pithy and succinct. If we even get the solution mentioned in the email on the air, even to be ridiculed, it'll still be a major victory over what passes for solutions right now to our twin revenue shortfall/debt increase disaster.

Wednesday, August 18, 2010The myth of a bankrupt Social Security Trust Fund Social Security is sound, even if we don't eliminate the cap, though we should. The looting of the (un)locked box can be easily replaced, by following the Constitution and "coining" our own money, without inflation. Don't believe the lies from the self-serving Central Bank and the ignorant MSM. Series: Economic Reform (99 Articles, 299773 views)

Tuesday, January 28, 2014Detroit is Not Broke! The on-again-off-again pending bankruptcy of what was formerly America's 4th largest city, Detroit, has been all over the news lately. In all of these stories, whether blaming the collapse of the domestic auto industry, profligate workers taking pensions, or, even closer to the truth, speculators (read: banks) who precipitated a housing collapse - there is one glaring omission of coverage, whether Detroit is, in fact, broke.

Tuesday, November 17, 2009Dealing with Anti-Semitism from a Jewish Perspective A number of readers, and even some editorial staff, have pointed out the rise of anti-semitism, both in American society, and even here on Op Ed News.

Friday, March 4, 2022US/NATO Provoked Ukraine War Say Most Experts On Russia Politicians and members of the media have nearly universally expressed shock and dismay at Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but their incredulity is belied by the fact that numerous Russia experts and historians have been predicting these events practically since the fall of the Berlin Wall, pointing out that a Russian response to ongoing NATO incursions was virtually inevitable.
