Incisive commentary on politics, mostly - and why things are not going to get better. Monday, July 13, 2015. Jeb Says to Work Harder. It should come as no surprise that Jeb Bush, after saying he would not run, and was not interested in being President, has decided that he is going to run, because he is interested after all. Sure Jeb, you really had me fooled. Here is the interview. With New Hampshire's The Union Leader. Complete with a video, in which he said the following:. In the industrialized world.

BlueHawaii: Southern Order
http://kewhawaii.blogspot.com/2014/12/southern-order.html
Incisive commentary on politics, mostly - and why things are not going to get better. Monday, December 1, 2014. Before how I have bemoaned Dixification. It is gratifying, in a grim sort of way, to see there is a growing awareness of what Dixification is and how it is redefining national politics as never before. To cite just one example, Doug Muder's recent post. Reminds us that the current invective from teabaggers is Southern at its core:. It’s not a Tea Party. These right-wing extremists have misappro...

BlueHawaii: February 2015
http://kewhawaii.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Incisive commentary on politics, mostly - and why things are not going to get better. Sunday, February 15, 2015. Question: What has been a defining feature of American socio-economic life for nearly all of its history, faded substantially for roughly two generations, and now has come back with a vengeance in the last two or three decades? An insecure and vulnerable workforce. One that is compliant, scared, and with few workplace rights. The low level of worker security has always been the objective of mo...

BlueHawaii: Where the Money Goes
http://kewhawaii.blogspot.com/2015/05/where-money-goes.html
Incisive commentary on politics, mostly - and why things are not going to get better. Wednesday, May 6, 2015. Where the Money Goes. Acme could use its profits on R&D, or on new equipment, two mainstays of stable growth. Or Acme could buy back shares of its stock. This has some ramifications. Apologists will tell you Acme is investing in its future, and buybacks should be seen as a mark of confidence. That is risible nonsense. What does Acme get by blowing its earnings on its own stock? By using large sto...

BlueHawaii: Dixification
http://kewhawaii.blogspot.com/2012/12/dixiefication.html
Incisive commentary on politics, mostly - and why things are not going to get better. Wednesday, December 5, 2012. I am pleased, if that is the right word, to see a growing chorus of criticism about not just the direction this country is headed, but the very specific reasons why. Some point to the eroding infrastructure, and characterize it, too vaguely I believe, as "economic decline." It is, but without detailing why such decline is happening, such assertions have limited utility. In part, that’s...

BlueHawaii: May 2014
http://kewhawaii.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Incisive commentary on politics, mostly - and why things are not going to get better. Sunday, May 25, 2014. Ever notice how little time politicians spend debating the core issues that concern the politically literate? And how easily our media chases after, or creates, secondary issues? Sorry, that job has been filled. And the people who work for the company? That's labor, an input. Lower input costs mean higher profits. Why pay more? So the middle class needs to work harder? Americans are already working...

http://kewhawaii.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Incisive commentary on politics, mostly - and why things are not going to get better. Wednesday, August 20, 2014. Ralph Nader has a new book. Out, called Unstoppable: The Emerging Left-Right Alliance to Dismantle the Corporate State. In it, Nader argues that some elements of the Right and Left are beginning to come together as they slowly realize they have a common enemy, Wall Street in particular, corporatism in general. Mike Konczal argues that the Tea Party and Wall Street actually get along just fine.
