How dare those Democrats defend Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
The author wants Democrats to adopt Trumpism and screw over the average American so they can give tax breaks to the wealthy and serve the interests of the corporations.
The author is like Trump, he wants to screw over the average American to give more money to military contractors.
What the author is pining for is one party Trumpism, better known as totalitarianism.
This is surely another fine example of the liberal slant of the ADN.
LIke this 'liberal' statement:
"The standard Washington narrative blames Republicans for the budget stalemate because they reject higher taxes."
The author attempts to wash that away by claiming it's a half-truth. That's no half truth, it's a whole truth.
It's standard Republican mantra for decades, this author thinks he can obviate reality at a whim?
That 'Republicans reject tax higher taxes' is standard narrative because it reflects reality.

First, everyone should know that Saunders flunked out of York University in the 1980s. He wasn't even smart enough to get a BA at York! Second, Mounk's latest study has nothing to do with Europe's Jews. Third, here is the link to Reynie's actual study: www.fondapol.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Anti-Semitic-Attitudes-in-France-New-Insights-20151.pdf
As one can see, Saunders has dramatically underplayed Muslim anti-Semitism, as he always does. Muslim anti-Semitism is monstrous and deadly. 51% of French Muslims are anti-Semites, and that figure rises to 63%!!! among practicing Muslims. The fact that Saunders advocates flooding Europe with Muslims knowing their murderous anti-Semitism shows that Saunders is an advocate of anti-Semitism himself.

What's alarming, as the C of C calls this beginning of honest business practices, is the relentless withholding of genuine earnings from workers across the board, and the governments that have chosen to ignore it...for a century. The old threat this coalition makes, that if the subsistence income of $15. per hour becomes a reality business will so suffer losses it will close en masse is an outright lie and nothing but the cheapest kind
of propaganda.
What it will help to do is make businessmen a little more honest in sharing its profits with the people without whom no business could function. In fact, the people on this unrewarding treadmill have been subsidizing business forever as commerce decided long ago it could substantially increase profits by denying its staff their rightful income and keeping it. Everyone who is employed has a right to a scaled compensation just as CEOs are rated. No government has ever had the courage to enact it for fear of losing corporate funds. Shame! | 00 | not toxic |

This topic is right on and deserves a good deal of thought. The country runs a deficit year in and year out.

Especially since that was back before the Legislature really abdicated any financial responsibility for the U of O and my income taxes were paying for more of it than they do today, that question tended to make me a little cranky as well. My children weren't black or native American minorities or financially disadvantaged because both I and my wife worked, so maybe all the scholarship money went to affirmative action. The non-minority middle class are the payers, not the recipients of governmental largesse, even that doled out by Duck U. I've always commented on the fact that the Asian minorities in this country aren't treated any better than the Caucasians, however. Wonder why that is; and why so many of them seem to excel in the difficult and therefore high-paying fields like math and science.

Governor Walker needs to keep them in special session all summer and into the fall, if that's what it takes. | 00 | not toxic |
I would remind you that Governor Walker submitted a well balanced plan to the legislature back in January that called for wise spending cuts along with revenue enhancements that included cutting the subsidies and tax cuts of SB21, an income/sales tax and increased taxes on mining/fishing/oil along with the PFD cut. The legislature ignored his plan and instead focused on meaningless social issues as the state burned through the savings only in the CBR because of ACES. The legislature is totally AWOL on the budget and couldn't even find the courage to take a vote to over ride the PFD marker thrown down by the Governor. We need a new legislature come November but don't have that option with the Governor so please get out with your friends and neighbors and vote for the changes we all know need to happen in the legislature.

Sorry - your reply wasn't up when I wrote my response. Right now I think I can see your point. But I am still concerned about how much our health care "system" costs, regardless of who provides insurance. For example, would you retain Medicare in your proposal? One of the issues that Bush's drug benefit created was Congress's prohibition on price negotiations with big pharma - which seems to increase costs across the board for US consumers. And, of course, as I wrote above, the fact that doctors, hospitals, etc., charge fees for each service provided, which obviously incentivizes more, not less, care (and more care is not always good for one's health). Finally, what would you propose re. the whole pre-existing conditions issue? Auto insurance differs from homeowners in a crucial way. If one wants to drive, one needs to buy insurance (though one can choose the coverage amount) - not so for homeowners (except if one has a mortgage). Would you make people buy health insurance? | 00 | not toxic |
The settlement amount seems odd but the US forces should not have expected otherwise from Omar Khadr. The US forces (along with Canadian and British) are an occupying force in a land that is not their own. Thus, it is not surprising that the locals resist. The British, Soviets, among other groups tried to occupy and conquer Afghanistan for hundreds of years. The locals fought invaders then and they will continue to do so now, if anyone undertsands history. Soldiers went to Afghanistan as soldiers, not civilians, armed, and aware of the soldiers's lot. Had the soldiers invaded south Ireland, Ukraine, or Russia, it would not be surprising to encounter resistance. The issue with Khadr is that he is of Arab origin and an Islamist, our 'villain du jour'. The Geneva conventions apply to all, not just Europeans or those of European origin. Afghanistan is an example of failed foreign policy, a proxy state used to fight Soviets and abandoned when they served their purpose. Reap what you sow. | 00 | not toxic |

Very few in the US take NK seriously. It is generally assumed that the US triad would prevent them from attacking.
But that viewpoint is going to prove to be catastrophic. At the very least, NK will pass their WMD/ICBM technology on to Iran, Syria, Pakistan, Egypt and various African states -- e.g. Uganda & the DRC --with which they have done business for decades. You can expect to see all of these tyrannical states become nuclear powers within the next decade.
Moreover, NK will use its capability to re-unite the Korean Peninsula under their rule. No US president is going to sacrifice the US mainland to protect SK from NK invasion.
The US is in a lose-lose situation. If the US does nothing, then NK and its numerous rogue allies will simply become more formidable and threatening to the West.
