What to Think: And Another Thing
http://jimpharo.blogspot.com/2010/01/and-another-thing.html
The Most Reasonable Man on the Planet Tells You What to Think. Tuesday, January 19, 2010. I have written previously. This all points to a serious crisis in the world's economy. We have faced and rebounded somewhat from last year's financial crisis. But we have yet to face and rebound from the underlying economic crisis that continues to worsen. I believe that the current downturn shares this feature with the Great Depression. James W. Pharo. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). James W. Pharo. New York, NY.

What to Think: Max Blumenthal Is Big
http://jimpharo.blogspot.com/2009/09/max-blumenthal-is-big.html
The Most Reasonable Man on the Planet Tells You What to Think. Friday, September 04, 2009. Max Blumenthal Is Big. Max Blumenthal is on Democracy Now! Promoting his new book, Republican Gamorrah. This is a major voice already. His willingness to show the hard-right on camera as they really is by itself a major contribution both to our current discourse as well as to later historical analysis. S the amateur philosopher (OK, that's just fun to type) Eric Hoffer to Explain Everything:. Max and I disagree abo...

What to Think
http://jimpharo.blogspot.com/2010/06/if-next-year-is-going-to-bring.html
The Most Reasonable Man on the Planet Tells You What to Think. Tuesday, June 15, 2010. If the next year is going to bring exceptional growth," [UCLA Anderson Forecast director Edward] Leamer writes, "consumers will need to express their optimism in the way that really counts — buying homes and cars. And that is not going to happen if businesses continue to express their pessimism in the way that really counts — by not hiring workers.". The result is an economic Catch-22. James W. Pharo. James W.

What to Think: Lincoln Saw It
http://jimpharo.blogspot.com/2010/10/lincoln-saw-it.html
The Most Reasonable Man on the Planet Tells You What to Think. Monday, October 18, 2010. Future President Abraham Lincoln in his famous 1858 speech at the Cooper Union articulated the problem he saw of dealing with the slave-owning interests, who could not stop accusing him and his party of undermining their rights to own slaves, notwithstanding a complete lack of evidence:. The question recurs, what will satisfy them? Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against the new and untried? Go back to that...

What to Think: Health Care Reform
http://jimpharo.blogspot.com/2009/12/health-care-reform.html
The Most Reasonable Man on the Planet Tells You What to Think. Monday, December 21, 2009. It's been a while, and I thought it was high time to explain What To Think (tm) about the impending health care reform. First things first. The bill as written is a mess. It's a product of a legislative process that both lacks leadership and has a large faction devoted to promoting ignorance and fear. Here's what's troubling about the bill:. 6 It further codifies the Right's misogyny. Telling poor and middle cla...

What to Think: HCR Summit
http://jimpharo.blogspot.com/2010/02/hcr-summit.html
The Most Reasonable Man on the Planet Tells You What to Think. Friday, February 26, 2010. OK, apparently none of you know What To Think(tm) about the health care summit, so I will tell you. 2 This was the next step in creating the fissure that will ultimately sever the crazy out of the GOP. For some of those GOPers, like Coburn, for example, there was simply too much temptation to participate in the substance, which means one cannot pretend that the entire undertaking is bogus. See #1. 8 By staking every...

What to Think: The Future
http://jimpharo.blogspot.com/2009/09/future.html
The Most Reasonable Man on the Planet Tells You What to Think. Wednesday, September 09, 2009. The Dems will win on health insurance reform, and over the next 25 years will argue with the Republicans over various important improvements (which the Repubs will denounce as "expansion of government power" and "employing more and more bureaucrats" or some such). Any hoo, I'm sure I'll find more than adequate grounds for pessimism and gloom shortly. Do not be alarmed! James W. Pharo. James W. Pharo. New York, NY.

What to Think
http://jimpharo.blogspot.com/2010/01/should-any-political-party-attempt-to.html
The Most Reasonable Man on the Planet Tells You What to Think. Thursday, January 14, 2010. I believe this will soon be the majority view of the current rump of the GOP. However, it will be wrong. This splinter group is a bomb waiting to go off. They are but one or two lucky breaks away from a serious threat to American society. Still, it's intereresting that DDE not only thought this, but articulated it so plainly. James W. Pharo. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). James W. Pharo. New York, NY.

What to Think: This is the Problem.
http://jimpharo.blogspot.com/2010/02/this-is-problem.html
The Most Reasonable Man on the Planet Tells You What to Think. Friday, February 26, 2010. This is the Problem. Is why we're not just going to head out of the woods and be OK. So many years of job losses, in a society already weak in the nest-egg department, is going to have consequences. There's another major wave of economic decline heading our way, although none of our leaders appear ready to acknowledge what is fairly obvious. James W. Pharo. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
