In quick succession, Republicans have lambasted President Obama as the second coming of V.I. Lenin. Their silly, discredited, and thoroughly desperate commie slur of Obama is not new.

With the U.S. on the verge of another Great Depression, the opposition to the Obama administration is fretting about the United States becoming an annex of Western Europe.

Dear Outraged Conservative American On The Verge Of Financial Ruin, I am so pleased you have found a way to express your hatred for Obama in reclaiming the word Socialism.

Most Americans are not capitalists. They might want to be capitalists, but no matter how much you, or that hardworking barista, that well paid techno-nerd, small farmer, or gangsta rapping bank teller may want to be capitalists, you are not capitalists. You are workers.

I'm calling upon Hannity to use his prime time television program as a platform to rally his base to refuse delivery of not just recovery bill spending, but all so-called "socialist" government programs.

Chavez is like a cross between Peron and Fidel with a dash of the Woody Allen character in Bananas. Make that two tablespoons.

When it comes to capitalism under a putatively conservative administration, the emperor may have had no clothes but the God of the Free Market was buck naked.

It speaks a great deal of the Republican Party that in the midst of a historic economic downturn they have chosen one of their major issues to be the right to make virtually unlimited salaries.

In many ways our economy already resembles a European one. As boomers age and spending grows, we will become even more French....

Slipping into Socialism or Sliding into Protectionism?

There's nothing wrong with Wall Streets's "eat what you kill" mentality. Except the bankers must remember that, in the wild, if the Tribe doesn't survive, no one eats at all.

While there are many victims in the colossal Ponzi scheme that is the American economy, few of these victims have not in some way been complicit.

Love her or hate her, you have to admit that John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin for the Republican ticket this year was without any doubt the boldest political tactic of the year.

Flying shoes, collapsing Ponzi schemes -- I was blindsided by the the week's news. All it took was a week of expatriate perspective to see how surreal, how nuts, American normal has become.

Let the record show that it was George W. Bush, the rich Texas Republican, who brought socialism to America, so don't blame it on that community organizer who made it into the White House.

What we have is De Gaulle-style socialism (state-funded corporations, cronyism, an overstuffed military), but without free and decent French schools, doctors and trains.

The way out of our crisis is to limit further the influence of government over the economy, so that even if someone could afford to buy political influence, there would be very little to sell.

Should Congress find the votes to take back at least $25 billion and loan it to the auto industry, they ought to attach it to a long list of demands that need to be set down in writing.

This lack of balance is why we need more women involved in leading the world's economy. There is simply too much of a male-focused approach and it is not working!
