Joseph Stiglitz: Iraq War Caused the Great Recession

Try to get over your racism now. Just this one time. You won't regret it! Romney will send us further than where Bush left us.

will cause us to go into that double dip that everyone's so afraid of.

How they can be so shortsighted and continue to refuse to allow the government to collect what it needs to pay for the wars is completely beyond me. I hope Obama wakes up soon and starts using this idiocy to win by a landslide.

Banks, Wall Street, MICs, oil companies...the 1%!

They can pay off the deficit and leave our Social Security and Medicare alone!

It's also time to end the tax cuts. Richie Rich can start working for a living...
