Reply #4: I give up, did you even read the article you are calling out? [View All]

There is no mention of AIPAC, corporate handlers, etc. Instead there is an essay laying out why what the article refers to quite fairly as "The Obama-Geithner-Summers-Bush-Paulsen plan" represents not 'change' but 'more of the same', and in these times, perilously wrong-headed more of the same.

"flim-flam" - deceptive nonsense. That is the point of the essay. The Obama adminsitrations rhetoric here is flim-flam. For example:

"The White House says mean things about capitalist parasites and then proceeds to give the financial overlords yet more of the public treasure - all in the name of restoring the "free enterprise" system."

Change appears to be business as usual. That's the point. It isn't wholesale trashing, at least not in the article you called out, it is pointing out the obvious about what us happening.

This wholesale trashing you are opposed to is coming from such ne'er do wells as Krugman, Gailbraith, Reich. The few progressive economists out there are pretty much all offering the same critical analysis of the administration's actions with respect to the economic crisis. Why is that?
