    Rev. Jesse Jackson | 12-08

    The pressure is growing in the face-off over the so-called “fiscal cliff” in Washington.

    The president put his plan on the table. Republican Speaker John Boehner rejected it out of hand. And then . . . nothing. Republicans refused to make a counteroffer.

    They are apparently waiting for the president to make another offer. Obama made that mistake before and got nothing in return. He is not likely to make the same mistake again.

    Since the 1970s, the Republican Party has fallen increasingly under the influence of radical ideologues, whose goal is nothing less than the elimination of the welfare state — that is, the whole legacy of the New Deal and the Great Society.

    Whether we are left with the Fiscal Cliff or a Grand Bargain, workers in the U.S. face massive cuts to programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, unemployment insurance, Food Stamp assistance and other needed social safety nets. This is an example of “austerity” which has largely been pursued in the U.S. until now, on a statewide and local level.

    On November 15, thousands in Gaza City residents mourned Jabari's assassination. Israel murdered him the previous day in cold blood. Score another victory for occupation harshness. Add one to the column of Israeli crimes against humanity. Volumes are needed to list them. Israel lives by the sword of injustice. One day perhaps it will perish for its villainy. Hamas officials and Qassam Brigades leaders stayed away from Jabari's funeral for their safety.

    Cheering is not enough, Push Congress to vote for policy changes this Lame Duck Session (Updated version Nov 25) There were some dramatic shifts this November. Instead of waiting for the Social Security fight next year, let's make changes the victors tend to agree on this year. Suddenly fewer people think pot and gay marriage will destroy us, Islam haters lost big. Maybe the unintended consequences of that movie insulting Islam, is the new belief that Islamophobes are baiting trouble not warning about it. Dramatic shift in the Orthodox Jewish community who had a habit of voting Republican. http://israelmatzav.blogspot.com/2012/11/unbelievable-majority-of-orthodox-jews.html http://desertpeace.wordpress.com/2012/11/08/islamophobes-lose-out-in-congressional-races/
