69. We Need A Paradigm Shift In The Debate

I saw and heard one of the most impressive people I've seen for awhile, on "Up W/Chris Hayes today. Mattea Kramer, from the National Priorities Project, smartly and succinctly explained that all the politicians who express worry about the deficit are full of you know what. Oh yeah, they want to pinch old people, poor people, children, because we just have to cut they say. But.....they also consistently support a massive blank check to the security state and to defense and wars. They're fine with the wealthy and rich corporations evading paying taxes here by Cayman Island type sheltering....and other things.

When Mr. Orange, Boehner, talks about us having a spending problem it's a joke - but you'll never see a mainstream news type challenge his hypocritical statements.

I went to the National Priorities web site and they lay it all out very well. We've all seen those US debt clocks roll, they have a sister site, Cost Of War, with a running clock about how much that is costing us second by second.

There are a precious few left of center types in congress who get all this but they are pushed aside and marginalized by the Rahm Emmanual wing. The right is in the bag with the rich and the MI complex So here we are. I hope that soon enough the discussion will get real in DC and in statehouses.
