(4,667 posts)60. That stuff has less to do with neoliberalism than many other things do.
>I vote for the CANDIDATE that is best for the common man, who provides and cares for the people
Except that candidate has been too timid about explaining whats really going on to the country, so he's losing, a race which we absolutely cannot afford to see lost- because these deals are PERMANENT- no future president will eb able to undo them- Read the paper in my sig to see whats already happened with health care- 20 years of dysfunction, for a reason which almost nobody knows-
Did you know that neoliberalism has made it so our voting is on the verge now almost, of becoming an empty gesture by taking away the real power to change the important economic things from the president, senate and congress, literally capturing all policy of importance and forcing the future, forever into a broken painfully wrong economic model?
Want to know what neoliberalism is? Read the paper linked to in my .sig below- (the almost invisible grey text) download the PDF and read it, its about health care. You'll learn a lot. Similar principles apply to education, water and all kinds of jobs- because they are the other side of the equation, the trade in people.
maybe thats what you meant to talk about.
here are some additional random bookmarks I have tagged with the word 'neoliberalism' in my browser bookmarks - they would be good companions to the paper in my .sig
