Katrina vanden Heuvel: Nation at Risk of Ignoring Jobs Crisis
The false apostles of austerity believe that imposing suffering on working people--and the most vulnerable among us--is how you show leadership in tough times.
They are cowards, not leaders.

Bernie Sanders: Obstruction and Steps Forward
"Republicans are playing the strongest obstructionist role we have ever seen," Senator Bernie Sanders notes. Sanders and his Senate colleagues have been trying to pass a financial reform bill that now hangs in doubt, with some Republicans changing their minds and with the death of Robert Byrd this week. As for immigration reform, or energy legislation? Don't bet on it, with the Party of No filibustering nearly every piece of legislation that comes their way.

Bernie Sanders: Taxing Oil To Pay For Health Care
"We have to deal with the deficit in a progressive way," says Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. Instead of cutting services in the name of some myth of austerity, Sanders suggests cutting tax loopholes and subsidies to oil companies in a new bill he just put forth in the Senate. The money we take in making oil companies pay their fair share could pay for extending unemployment benefits and health care.

The F Word: The Pain Of FauxFeminist Populism
"I feel your pain" -- how many times are we going to hear that between now and the midterm elections? Republicans and Democrats all know that the economy weighs first on people's minds, and they all pay lip service at least to the idea of doing something for Main Street. What's ahead -- months of millionaires making pledges?

More Money Needed For Real Health Care Reform
Health care reform made it through Congress and was signed by the President, and promptly disappeared from headlines aside from occasional Republican attempts or vows to repeal it. But the system is far from fixed, and hospital closings, budget cuts and understaffings contribute just as much to our nation's health care crisis.
