Scareflation 

The GOP is simply making up an economic problem and transferring full blame for this nonexistent issue to the President -- with NO evidence. Romney's campaign slogan might as well be "It's the economy I SAY it is, stupid!"

Since my piece was first published, Romney has doubled down on the "prices are rising" argument, and William H. Gross, Managing Director at PIMCO, declared that "The age of inflation is upon us."

The Right's notorious message discipline coupled with apathy for the truth has been a toxic combination -- one that's really getting on my nerves.

The Simpsons and Politics

A light-hearted break from the slow, somber march of campaign season. Video clips include LGBT issues, immigration, education, unemployment and more.

Convention Hangover: Saturday Six-Pack

Six links from trusted cyber news sources, along with my added comments. Leftover thoughts for a couple DNC speakers not named Obama or Clinton, Romney's new strategic turn and snippets on domestic and international economic developments. On the economic front, the lack of monetary accommodation is causing a slight headache - the absence of fiscal stimulus is more of an inoperable brain tumor. 

I'm continuing work on the "It's the Economy, Stupid" series, but pieces on class warfare (spoiler: the upper class is winning), our holy trinity of lingering debt issues (mortgage, credit card, student loans) and a preview of the Presidential debates are also on the docket.

As always, stay tuned.
