Health care

Peggy Randall, I have an idea that's better than the public option. Put the insurance industry under the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. Joe Lieberman and a few Republicans will go for this, get Congress to…

Jack L Golding commented on Moody Lawrence's group 'After Capitalism'
Compassionate capitalism means putting the public good ahead of maximization of profits. Compassionate capitalism means giving a break to small businesses by the government.The Federal Reserve Bank today is like the old United States Bank of Andrew…

Jack L Golding replied to abby0802's discussion 'Obama's speech and plans for Aghanistan'
Amen! Obama made a mistake in appointing Timothy Geithner at Treasury. His whole Economic Advisory Council, with the possible exception of Volker, is tied in with Wall Street Big Bankers who want to keep the status quo. Restore Glass-Steagall, rein…

We need to link up to the Taliban that is not violent. I know that we should have gotten out of Iraq after we captured Saddam Hussein. There would have been no insurgency, no Al Queda in Iraq. It's Bush and Cheney listening to Paul Bremer and Paul W…

U.S. Chamber of Commerce
I saw a repeated ad on CNN and MSNBC television of an organization sayingthat healthcare reform is not worth the money. I looked closely at who was pushing that ad and it was the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the same organization that loves outsourcing…

You don't get my point. We can fire people like Cheney who are interested in self-aggrandizement at the expense of justice and the common good. You are saying you can't change human nature, which is a tenet of right extremism thinking? I'm saying, l…

Will Shirley replied to Jack L Golding's discussion 'Compassionate capitalism' in the group After Capitalism
Can one be compassionate and still seek to maximize profit? You are suggesting a business model in which profit is a part of the equation but not THE desired result. How do you get the other parts? For instance, lets say you are a business major in…

Compassionate capitalism
I believe in what I like to call compassionate capitalism. Compassionate capitalism is putting the public good above maximization of politics. Take health care. The big health insurance companies are screwing the people by denying coverage with pree…

After Capitalism
Banks must lend to new, small businesses rather than Big Business in order to gradually transfer capital ownership from the rich to the people.

Brian replied to Jack L Golding's discussion 'Big banks are a problem'
Yes, I know the quote well, and, of course, Jefferson was practically schizophrenic in his thinking, or, to be more generous, pretty non-linear. They say that politicians fear the voters, but we've given them little reason to do so lately. As I oft…

abby0802 replied to Jack L Golding's discussion 'Big banks are a problem'
The idea of a selfless politician was an ideal -- not even our founding fathers really lived up to the ideal -- Washington came close but he like others did not trust the non-propertied class enough to let them vote -- But, America has always held…

You are correct, but let's give the unions their due. The early union organizers fought private security agents and corporate police until blood flowed in the streets. Most of the benefits that American workers enjoyed up until the economy went tits…

That someone was me, too. The first thing I thought of was giving the TARP money to local banks who have acted responsibly and letting the megabanks go down the drain. Yeah, the economy would take a steep dive, but we'll survive, just like Americans…

I think you've pretty well nailed it. FDR and his cousin, TR, saved capitalism by throwing some scraps to the desperate poor. Bismarck similarly.

Ruth Mac Donald Wilson replied to Jack L Golding's discussion 'Consider helping me organize a third party'
There is no doubt that we need to have more influence in Washington. I am convinced that the only thing that might get them in line sometime this century, is yes, a third party, but one whose platform should be some form of referendum voting. The re…
