THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS
This Week’s Discussion:

This Week’s Discussion:
Democratic Senator Joe Manchin says Biden should work to compromise with Republicans. Maybe if he agrees to give up his job they will let him keep his head! But Biden goes through the motions with his infrastructure plan. We discuss this pathetic fiction that there is such a thing as compromising with a criminal organization that believes in nothing but its own power, and why moderates and the media keep falling for the fiction that the GOP will be willing to compromise on behalf of an American people they don't care about.
Dave also talks about the Biden tax plan and ponders the possibility that this country might return to some form of progressive tax system, where the rich need to chip in a bit more to pay for what this country needs. In less uplifting economic news, the quest for economic justice took a big hit with the failed unionization effort at an Alabama Amazon warehouse. The GOP war on unions, and workers, gained another big victory. Also, we finally spot both cancel culture and democracy, in the GOP's efforts to wage war on corporations that are doing what their customers are demanding and opposing Republican voter suppression efforts in Georgia.
Finally, the latest news on trump-loving Republican congressman Matt Gaetz. Is he really a sex-trafficking creepy pedophile or, like the rest of the GOP, does he just like to hang around with them?
