“These are dark and desperate times. I know that some of you are afraid. It’s alright. It’s perfectly natural. But I want you to know that I am not. I am not afraid to die this day because what we do here is necessary. It may seem impossible, our enemies may appear to be endless, but that doesn’t matter. Because there is no one else. Look at me. I believe in an idea, an idea that a single individual who has the right heart and the right mind that is consumed with a single purpose, that one man can win a war. Give that one man a group of soldiers with the same conviction, and you can change the world.”

Exploring how the 1.9% of "small" businesses not covered Obama Tax Cut Renewal can be half of small business income →

I’d compare it to the Clippers qualifying for revenue sharing by dividing the LA media market in half(Which they do). None of these companies are small business and the Republicans hope that by repeating that they are enough people will take it as fact. And sadly, as history has shown, they will. The democrats need to find a better way to get across their message. It’s just not happening right now and the media doesn’t let itself to disseminating information anymore. Hire LeBron’s PR guys and start calling bullshit on these guys.
Politifact looks at the claim that extending Bush tax cuts would add less to the deficit than the stimulus over 10 years →

I really do think it’s worth a read. Elections are coming up and we all need to dig below cable news, talk radio, and yes as much as I often agree with them biased blogs like Talking Points Memo and Huffington Post. The claim itself got a barely true. I’d very much like to see two politicians debate this in terms of Keynesian economics vs classical economics. But we won’t get that unless we start raising the level of discourse in this country.
