Stacy Summary: Paul Craig Roberts out with this great piece on the new unemployment numbers. As he continuously and courageously points out, America continues to lose wealth creating jobs. In the hundreds upon hundreds of political ads I have watched in the past week while in the U.S., not one of them mentioned this fact. Sure they were all railing against big government (especially those who were all for more wars), but not one word to the American voters about the need for an honest discussion about the structure of their economy.

Stacy Summary (cont’d): And part of this bizarre ignorance and apparent absence of a survival instinct is, I think, partly explained by this next story, also from Counterpunch. The Red Team/Blue Team privatized WWF brand of democracy has replaced the Republic with an endless number of citizen/consumers cheering passionately for his or her own team. Doesn’t matter if the propaganda is being financed by Soros or by Koch, as long as the other side loses.
