    After Republicans reduce taxes to zero they’ll still claim deficits are caused by too much spending.

    Guns Don’t Kill People Dep’t

    A 5-year-old boy shot a 4-year-old playmate with a gun he purportedly found on the playground, AOL News reports.

    But hey, as any Wisconsin GOP legislator will tell you, the problem is not that anyone can get a gun, the problem is we have to teach people who have guns to use them responsibly.

    What’s Really Happening In Greece

    Greeks aren’t lazy — they have the second longest workweek in Europe. They’re entrepreneurial and creative.

    No, what’s really bringing Greece to its knees is decades of misrule by a corrupt political and economic elite who have skimmed the system for their own enrichment, and cut taxes on their own class — the rich — to the point where not only the government but also the economy can’t function.

    The current prime minister’s father was prime minister and his father was prime minister. Does that tell you something about how deeply entrenched the crony system is?

    What’s happening in Greece is the same thing that’s evolving in the United States: A few people taking everything for themselves under a co-opted and corrupt political system under which ordinary people have no say about what’s being done to them.

    And the corrupt elite’s response to what they’ve done to us is that we must live with austerity while they continue to pork out at the trough.

    This is the stuff of which revolutions are made. Let us hope ours will be a peaceful one.

    Maddow: Ohioans unite against Republican Gov. John Kasich’s union-busting bill.

    Really or as the Ohio newscast on June 29th union peeps are upset that they won’t get their “automatic raises” anymore?

    Maddow, slants the news to fit “her” style. What was her take on the US Constitution Preamble again? Maybe if fools like her actually read the founding documents. Heh heh heh!

    BTW Back in March Daily Kooks announced PMSNBC terminated Maddow’s contract over her Wisconsin badgering of the GOP. I hope that’s still true!

    Faux is where all nuts go to die..

    Nice to see some folks in the senate growing up and growing a pair when it comes to gays.

    The gay thing really shows to me that my idea that early, mid, and late adopters have replaced the left-right political spectrum.

    , what’s really bringing Greece to its knees is decades of misrule by a corrupt political and economic elite who have skimmed the system for their own enrichment, and cut taxes on their own class — the rich — to the point where not only the government but also the economy can’t function.

    Well that and treating a country that has the above going on like it’s a credit worthy first world nation, which it isn’t. They should have never been loaned that kind of money and now they’re getting a second bailout. Um… They could pay back the first loan so you give them a second one? WTF? The EU is toast.

  12. 12

    The EU is toast.

    To the extent that it is unable to control its rich, yes.

    The last few GS summits recommended austerity (i.e. Hooverism) as the solution to their problems. Taxing the rich and the corporations?? Naaaaah..

    Greece is receiving bailouts because it can’t do what other countries do when they get into trouble – devalue their currency. Their currency is the Euro.

    When other countries can’t dig themselves out of their hole by devaluing – they go hat in hand to the IMF which always recommends severe austerity.

  13. 13

    @12
    I doubt the political will to keep the EU together will exist after a couple of countries default and I’m betting we’ll see at least one or two defaults.

  14. 14

    “To the extent that it is unable to control its rich,…”

    Why do they need “controlling”?

  15. 15

    Now that everyone agrees that Greece’s problems stem from being ruled by a corrupt rich class, the next question is why anyone would want America to be ruled by a corrupt rich class? What I mean is, how can anyone possibly justify voting for any Reopublican?

  17. 17

    Here’s how Greek-style austerity works. A corrupt rich class loots a country, then the country’s working class has to swallow an abrupt and deep drop in their already low standard of living, so another country’s corrupt rich class will bail out its fellow corrupt rich class.

  18. 18

    @14 For the answer to your question about why the rich need to be controlled, see #17.

    And I am accused of not knowing what I am talking about, well stay tuned, its happening all over the country. It will hit harder here very soon!

    (Reuters) – To patch a $4 billion budget hole, more than 1,600 Florida state government employees were laid off as of Friday, and another 562,000 began paying into their pension plans for the first time in 37 years.

    As natural as it is for a sane person to loathe the delusional serial liar Michelle Bachmann, you have to admit that her campaign through the primary states will be the most entertaining right wing freak show of all time.

  23. 23

    Quoting from Fareed Zakaria’s column in this week’s Time Magazine:

    Greece also has a long history of borrowing too much and being unable to pay its debits. Over the past 179 years it has been in default about 50% of the time.

    Anyone who loans someone that’s been in default for 50% of the last 179 years a big chunk of change deserves to lose their shirts.
