The GOP’s “entitlement society” myth
SALON Thu, 02 Feb 2012 13:10:00 GMT
One of the few things Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich agree on is that President Obama is turning America into “European-style welfare culture.” In his standard stump speech Romney charges Obama with creating a nation of dependents. “Over the past three years Barack Obama has been replacing our merit-based society with an entitlement society.” Gingrich calls Obama “the best food-stamp president in American history.” What’s their evidence? Both rely on federal budget data showing direct payments to individuals shot up by almost $600 billion, a 32 percent increase, since the start of 2009. They also point to Census data showing that 49 percent of Americans now live in homes where at least one person is collecting a federal benefit – Social Security, food stamps, unemployment insurance, worker’s compensation or subsidized housing. That’s up from 44 percent in 2008. Finally, they trumpet Social Security Administration figures showing that the number of people on Social Security.......
Lieberman, Cantor defend Capitol Hill’s inside traders
SALON Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:20:00 GMT
"Send me a bill that bans insider trading by members of Congress," President Obama told the assembled members of the House and Senate in his State of the Union address last week, "and I will sign it tomorrow." If only it were that simple. The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act, a bill that prohibits legislators and federal officials from knowingly profiting off of nonpublic information related to impending legislation and regulatory decisions, looks certain to pass the Senate this week. On Monday, senators overwhelmingly approved a motion to cloture on S.2038 preventing the bill from being filibustered. But on Wednesday in the House of Representatives Reps. Tim Walz, D-Minn., and Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y.,  demanded a straight up or down vote on a different bill, HR 1148, also known as the STOCK Act. The House bill already has 271 sponsors. And therein lies a tale of Washington. No one in Washington favors allowing Capitol Hill insiders using non-public........
The snake oil of “Who lost Iraq?”
SALON Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:00:00 GMT
When Communist forces took over China in 1949, a debate erupted in U.S. foreign policy circles over “Who lost China?” Amid the growing ferment of the Red Scare, blame was soon affixed to “China hands” in the State Department who, either through incompetence or (more likely, according to Red-hunters like Joe McCarthy) nefarious intent, had neglected to give the anti-Communist forces of Chiang Kai Shek the support they had required, and thus helped deliver China into the hands of America’s enemies, undermining the cause of freedom and democracy. Over the next few years, the hysteria grew to such an extent that eventually even President Dwight Eisenhower was accused by some on the extreme right of abetting the Communist conspiracy through failing to combat it as vigorously as he should have.

Congress protests Obama on Bahrain arms sale
SALON Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:07:00 GMT
Here's a quick update on the Obama administration's recent decision to sell arms to the regime in Bahrain, which has been accused of widespread human rights abuses in suppressing a protest movement in the Gulf nation. Three senators and and 18 representatives -- all Democrats -- have signed a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton condemning the deal (and remember, the administration still isn't saying what equipment, exactly, it's sending to Bahrain). Here's the key section of the letter: We recognize the limited nature of the sales, and we acknowledge that the Bahraini government has taken some positive steps with respect to human rights in recent months. However, it has not done enough to justify the sale of any military items or services to Bahrain. Moreover, if the Administration wishes to reward the Bahraini government for any progress, there are other methods that do not involve strengthening the Bahraini military or security forces. Tragically, even a brief survey..
How to fight Indiana’s “Right to Work” law
SALON Fri, 03 Feb 2012 21:24:00 GMT
On Wednesday Gov. Mitch Daniels delivered a body blow to organized labor, signing a bill making Indiana the 23rd “Right to Work” state.  Daniels’ law, which unions will protest during Sunday’s Super Bowl in Indianapolis, poses a major test for Indiana’s labor movement.  To survive “Right to Work,” Indiana unions will have to disregard one of the most popular arguments made recently by their supporters: that a union is a business. As a former union organizer, I’ve been squirming in recent weeks listening to the arguments made by Indiana Democrats against “Right to Work,” the brilliantly titled legislation that bars union contracts from requiring employees represented by a union to pay for that representation.  Sen. Greg Taylor said the bill needed to be amended to restore the principle “that you have to pay costs of services.”  Sen. Earline Rogers cited a Republican mayor’s comparison of “Right to Work” to welfare: providing benefits to people without making them pay for them. ......
Rep. McKeon disputes Salon article
SALON Fri, 03 Feb 2012 22:06:00 GMT
The office of Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon sent Salon the following response to Lee Fang's piece, Mon. January 30 piece, "D.C. lobbyist aids Rep. McKeon's Wife." We believe that the factual inaccuracies in Lee Fang's piece, used as grounds for the author's personal speculations, provide for a very misleading article. First, contrary to Fang’s false assertion that Mr. Valente donated to Patricia McKeon in an effort to circumvent maximum campaign contribution laws, Mr. Valente has not maxed out to Congressman McKeon.  In fact, Mr. Valente has not contributed to Congressman McKeon’s “McKeon for Congress” campaign committee at all. Second, contrary to Mr. Fangs inaccurate assertion that Patricia was the only state candidate to receive donations from the Fund for American Opportunity, Patricia was not in fact the only state candidate to receive a donation.  If you click on the link in the article, you will see several state candidates listed on the group’s contribution report.  In........
Susan G. Komen’s priceless gift
SALON Sat, 04 Feb 2012
The startling intensity that we saw this week in response to Susan G. Komen for the Cure's decision to pull its grants from Planned Parenthood -- an intensity that prompted the Komen foundation to reverse its decision today -- may be the best thing that’s happened to the conversation about reproductive rights in this country for decades. It certainly should be. Practically since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973, reproductive rights activists have been left to play stilted defense against ideological opponents who grabbed the language of morality, life, love and family as their own, always deploying it with reference to the fetus. The rhetoric around reproductive rights, which has more recently begun to creep into arguments over contraception, has become suffocating in its emotional self-righteousness, but too muscular, too ubiquitous to effectively combat. But the overreach by the Komen foundation, while surely intended to strike yet another blow on the side of antiabortion........
