© Clay Bennett Given the high unemployment rate, and the attacks on unions and the labor movement in general, is there much to celebrate on this Labor Day?

A few days ago I reported on the Justice Department filing suit to block the merger of AT&T with T-Mobile, but there is more news about how much AT&T has been lying about the benefits of their proposed merger. In order to promote the merger, AT&T announced that they would be moving 5,000 call center […]

Obama requested a joint session of Congress next Wednesday at 8pm so that he can lay out his agenda for increasing employment. But the Republicans objected, since that is when one of their (more than 20) Republican presidential candidate debates is taking place, and accused Obama of playing politics — even though this debate is […]

I found this hilarious post by someone named Flopper on a message board: No Government Spending Needed to Create Jobs but There is a Cost There are two pieces of legislation needed to accomplish full employment in America, both supported by many conservatives. 1. Repeal the minimum wage law. 2. Remove financial support for those […]

© Matt Davies Billions of dollars to bail out the banks, but nothing for the unemployed who lost their jobs because of the financial crisis brought on by the banks. What makes this doubly ironic is that the Republicans claim that extending unemployment benefits would only encourage people without jobs to avoid looking for work. […]
Yes, the Republicans do have a plan for reducing unemployment: © Ed Stein One of the things I really like about Ed Stein’s comics is that he has a blog where he comments on them. His comments on this one are better than anything I could add: I’ve been accused of blindly blaming the Republican […]
