Financial Meltdown: Time for a Holiday From Progressive Politics?

Mar 24, 11:44 AM by Eric Allen

Truthout has an interesting story on how progressives should be dealing with the ongoing financial meltdown. I am most definitely not an economist, but from my perspective down here in reality (at least I think it’s real), it seems that the government could easily take steps to protect us small guys while letting the big guys suffer from their own mistakes. If we continue to privatize profit and publicize loss, this cycle of the rich siphoning money off of the rest of us will continue, most likely at an even greater rate.
