PayGo

Posted on January 17, 2019 by camelotkidd

PayGo is bad economics and bad politics, but naturally it was the first order of business for the newly elected Democratic Speaker of the House–Nancy Pelosi. Despite resistance from progressive Democrats, the House rules package for the 116th Congress will … Continue reading →

A crisis of ideologies

Posted on January 10, 2019 by camelotkidd

I find it darkly amusing that neoliberalism and neoconservatism are losing legitimacy by the day, while political leaders and the corporate media warn of the disintegration of the “western-liberal-order.” That these two ruling ideologies are imploding says a lot … Continue reading →

The Triumph of Conservatism

Posted on December 20, 2018 by camelotkidd

Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda…

Posted on November 9, 2018 by camelotkidd

If we had a real opposition party, you know–one with real alternative policy proposals–said party would have won the midterms in a landslide. Recent history has demonstrated that American voters are willing to support any candidate that offers an … Continue reading →

The Gatekeepers

Posted on October 17, 2018 by camelotkidd

When they silenced Alex Jones, I was certain that that wouldn’t be the end of the online censorship. And, now the other shoe has dropped with Facebook’s and Twitter’s recent purging of alternative sites and accounts that challenge conventional … Continue reading →

Two Camps

Posted on September 7, 2018 by camelotkidd

There are two camps in America that hold completely different viewpoints. One camp, let’s call them the establishment, still believes that we live in a meritocracy, where if you get an education and work hard you can succeed in … Continue reading →

Double-Truth

Posted on July 12, 2018 by camelotkidd

I know it’s hard to turn away from the ongoing dumpster fire that is the Trump administration but it’s imperative to understand how we got here. Can you say neoliberalism? The neoliberals first gathered at Mont Pelerin, circa 1947, in … Continue reading →

A Madness to the Method

Posted on July 6, 2018 by camelotkidd

A wise man said that the purpose of a nation is to build unity and deconstruct division. That doesn’t describe our country, does it? No, we’ve become a nation of the haves and have nots, riven by false partisan … Continue reading →

Is that all there is?

Posted on June 14, 2018 by camelotkidd

Gazing around our world it’s clear that neoliberalism has narrowed the possibilities. Is that all there is? Massive student debts, opioid addiction, homelessness and suicides. An economy based largely on scams and fraud, that leaves the vast majority of … Continue reading →

Busy Little Termites

Posted on May 30, 2018 by camelotkidd

I find it perversely amusing that while doing good is so damn hard, doing evil is easy. Doing evil is especially easy in the service of wealth and power. Take neoliberalism, a shape-shifting ideology so nefarious that its proponents … Continue reading →
