NEO-LIBERAL E-CON policies and President Obama’s use of the Presidential Bully Pulpit have pushed CHARTER SCHOOLS despite the cherry-picking of advanced kids skewing outcomes. That undermined the radical U.S. commitment from colonial times to PUBLIC EDUCATION as the bedrock of an informed democratic body politic. NEO-CONS embraced FREE TRADE FUNDAMENTALISM pushed by NEO-LIBs since the REAGAN REVOLUTION.
Nixon Conservatives such as speechwriter Pat Buchanan who ran as a Republican for President himself multiple times and advocated protecting U.S. factories and workers by strengthening tariffs and keeping capital flight a felony instead of a business incentive from de-regulated government is now called a PALEO-CON. Just as Liberals who once backed Labor and the Working Class in policy-making instead of privileging un-fettered capital investors are now called PALEO-LIBs.
So now that there are no Commies left to compete with ideologically, we can throw our homeless and maladjusted veterans of foreign wars of Empire out under overpasses and into septic systems because there are no more “hearts & minds” to win over in any Cold War.
The new loyalty litmus test of the NEO-LIBNEO-CONsensus is supporting every PUBLIC INTEREST-undermining global trade deal that privileges trans nationals and un-fettered capital over local government and ultimately undermines national governments and judicial systems as the so-called FREE MARKET IS RIGGED TO BENEFIT THE OLIGARCH CORPORATE CARTELS. Corporate cartels can hardly be depended on to back policies that increase competition!
Former Texas Agriculture Commissioner Jim Hightower said it best criticizing the latest Obama so-called FREE TRADE AGREEMENT known as TRANS PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP (dba TPP). For some reason GOPTea Partiers have voted in big majorities in Congress to back the Obama 2012 KORUS, FTA and the new TPP. Only self-serving Blue Dog Dems looking for cush jobs after leaving their country club congressional seats have supported Obama’s 2012 Korus, FTA or the now pending Mother of All Trade Deals, the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP).
Look up on non-profit PUBLIC CITIZEN’s bi-partisan online ‘zine called COMMON DREAMS the TRADE DEAL SCOREBOARD outcomes as of MAY 2015 for the first Obama trade deal called KORUS, FTA sealed in 2012 and already ballooning the U.S. TRADE DEFICIT with South Korea’s feudal family-owned trading giants like Samsung, Hyundai, Kia Motors, Air Inchon and all of the Seoul-flagged barges ferrying steeliron to dump at sub-market prices on North American Pacific ports.
Per Jim Hightower’s College & Community Radio syndicated commentary named the HIGHTOWER REPORT: “THOSE NOT SEATED AT THE TABLE FOR INTERNATIONAL TRADE DEAL NEGOTIATIONS ARE ON THE MENU!”
Even so-called INDEPENDENT politicians who leave the self-serving RepubliCrat Duopoly like billionare term-limit waiving NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg make sure that all solutions to market-created problems are limited to market-based contracts to private profit-maximizers rather than government the nominal defender of the PUBLIC INTEREST over PRIVATE INTERESTs.
From Neo-Liberal Public Education Destroyer Arnie “Slam Dunk” Duncan to 2nd Term POSTER HEIRESS FOR CORPORATE WELFARE AND BAIT & SWITCH OBAMA’S CHOICE ALL ALONG FOR SECRETARY OF COMMERCE, DAME PENNY PRITZKER. Wikipedia these key OBAMA DOCTRINE CABINET APPOINTEES. HYATT HOTEL HEIRESS PRITZKER with her record-setting private contributions to the Obama Presidential campaign and her off-shoring tax haven grand-dad and Shadow Banking pedigree to match her HYATT-MARRIOTT fortune that needed bailing out when she opened her SUPERIOR BANK. The Duncan Education legacy of the Obama Doctrine being more use of the bully pulpit to sell investors on charter schools and pay-to-play trade schools like the recent corporate bankruptcy protection sought by the 55-campus collapse of CORINTHIAN COLLEGES.
All those CORINTHIAN COLLEGES (another visit to Wikipedia to brief you on what the Evening News has no time to follow-up on and cover in as much granular detail as another kind of trade school, TRUMP U.) that are leaving tax-payers and heavily indebted while no more hire-able students on the hook for life-crushing debts that are not forgiven like corporate bankruptcy.
Federally-backed student loans remain on the student-borrowers’ records until death, while the paper mill schools and online scams like TRUMP U. or CORINTHIAN COLLEGES or UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX can seek corporate bankruptcy protection and actually have their corporate officers run for PRESIDENT OF THE U.S. after DEFAULTING ON VENDORS, STUDENT LOANS and CREDITORS!
Along with Chicago School of E-CON partner in HOUSE OF CLINTON & HOUSE OF OBAMACLINTON White House Chief of Staff turned Neo-Liberal Market-Based MAYOR OF CHIRAQ & Charter School Solution bringer RAHM EMANUEL. Mayor Emanuel whose hand-picked “CEO OF CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS” Dame BARBARA BYRD-BENNETT plead guilty in record time to taking bribes from GARY SOLOMON’s SUPES CON-sultans who, while African-American school children were losing access to textbooks and their de facto South Side Y’s & Health Club Community Centers as the CPS school buildings were sold off leaving already dangerous African-American neighborhoods even more dangerous. While these high paid SUPES CON-sultans were using tax-payer money in bankrupt CHIRAQ teaching Chicago PUBLIC SCHOOL principles to act MORE LIKE CORPORATE CEO’s and the VULTURE FUND INVESTORS WHO BEGAT the CHARTER SCHOOL business model!
Isn’t that Boss Trump’s playbook, to run government like a corporate hierarchy? So much more efficient to have a selected CEO rather than an elected President, to live in a stable Plutocracy with Super Delegate Representation rather than in a French Revolutionary democracy…Un-tether that global capital some more Grand Lexus and Olive Tree Pundit Wizard and Neo-Liberal bringer of market-based solutions.
We need an intervention from any more Neo-Liberal market-based solutions to market-created socio-E-CON problems.
According to the CHICAGO TRIBUNE EXPOSE on CPS CEO DAME BYRD-BENNETT and her schmearer GARY SOLOMON CEO OF SUPES that never quite made the NATIONAL NEWS AGENDA, not unlike the Flint, Michigan public water contamination scandal so well-covered locally but not elevated to NATIONAL SECURITY RISK level until the cloistered NY TIMES MARKET-BASED SOLUTION SEEKERS noticed their readers and advertisers were going to THE REAL NEWS NETWORK on YouTUBE and the DETROIT FREE PRESS & NEWS to learn about midwestern INSTITUTIONAL CORRUPTION.
All the while Madame Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (prior to turning into Goldman Sachs confidential consultant turned Presidential front-runner) and her Bush-Cheney-Condi held-over Neo-Con Chicken Hawks Victoria Nuland and Robert Kagan were Changing Regimes from Georgia in the Caucasus to Ukraine to Honduras to Libya and Syria all in the service of Market-Based Solutions that have worked so well for the 1/10 of 1% the Whole Wide Troubled World over!
It might not be a wasted vote to VOTE GREEN PARTY if that means the POLITICAL E-CON OF CORPORATE-CAPTURED NEWS MEDIA MAY THEN BE FORCED TO CONFRONT THE NEO-LIBNEO-CON ORTHODOXIES THAT HAVE RETURNED U.S. TO A (CORPORATE) FEUDAL system benefiting the 1/10th of 1% at the expense of the rest of U.S.
