KRUGMAN: On "Permanent Class Of Jobless Americans"-"Let’s be clear: this is a policy decision."

[HughBeaumont]

18. We have a systemic problem of corporate money in EVERYthing that we need to fix.

EVERYthing has to be about going beyond just making A BUCK. Health. Education. Human Rights. Culture. Work. Religion. Entertainment. Journalism (or what's left of it). Leisure. Tourism. Transportation.

Government and Politics.

To hell with "WE" . . . What's in it for "ME"?

We're not progressing into the 20th century, let alone the 21st, because corporate and wealthy interests have to have their needs met first, foremost and ONLY.

Think about a simple issue of Universal Health Care.

Tell me, WHAT'S in it for the wealthy to keep it from happening in this country? What's in it for the upper echelons of Corporate America, and in turn, Government, to keep America from resolving a long-term human rights failing?

None of their GREAT-Grandchildren at this point are ever going to be financially affected by a catastrophic medical bill, let alone their present selves.

There are certain things that a normal, non-Ovarian-Lottery-Winning human being cannot pay for out of pocket, and six-digit medical bills and five-digit education bills are two of them.

In WHOSE national interests is it to have an uneducated, sick and dying population?
