Eliot Spitzer
Yesterday I put up on the blog a conversation Charlie Rose had with Elizabeth Warren, Naomi Klein and William Greider. They discussed the economic mess. Of course one would expect their perspective. Surprisingly Eliot Spitzer has the exact same perspective. Both conversations mention Paul Krugman and Stieglitz as economic wizards and are those that "get it." He goes after politicians and the Obama administration who are propping up the same old system.
I have followed Eliot Spitzer's entry back into the public fold. His voice during this time is needed, of course him as a public figure would have been much better. But, we all know his words in the financial crisis have tremendous credibility and that is why he has a platform.
He is also, in my opinion sincerely apologetic and forthright as to his transgressions as you can see from the second video. And I have to say Rachel Maddow goes where no one has gone before asking him questions about the personal to the political. That appears in the second segment. Spitzer should have never been a politician. He should have made his life going after these fuckers who are starving our economy.

Naomi Klein Discusses "Crony Capitalism" with Rachel
Naomi sums up just what I have been thinking lately. This massive bail-out is for the Oligarchs and not for us, shoved down our throat and we take it lying down, not a fucking protest to be had anywhere. This morning I read the subway in New York is rising its prices up and up and up into 2013. How is it that we give these Oligarchs all of our money and none of it comes back to us. None of it. It is baffling to me. The greatest financial crisis in three generations and all we are doing is moving the money?

A Progressive Economic Bail-Out that Protects Consumers is Needed
What would a progressive economic bail-out look like? It would not be providing $700 billion dollars to the people who put us in this crisis. It is silly and I support the Congressional Progressive Caucus' Plan. See below Dennis Kucinich discuss the Congressional Progressive Caucus Plan.
Here is part of the PCP plan. Go here to see for yourself:
1) First and foremost Wall street is responsible. A proposal of a 0.25% on all stock trades and more exotic trades which would raise (not put the tax payer in debt) 150 billion dollars and takes the money from the speculators and traders on Wall Street.
2) The American people must be provided equity in the companies that it bails out.
3) Bankruptcy reform that was slammed through in 2005 that has put many Americans in serious jeopardy.
4) Safeguard consumer rights, provide tough independent oversight, and establish a transparent regulatory system that is updated for the 21st century.
