Hey, Siri. Who’s funding this propaganda? sourcewatch.org/index.php/Pete…
Hey, Siri. Does FACEBOOK facilitate this with fake political ads?

One more thing, Siri. This guy doesn’t really care about the national debt. What’s his real play? nytimes.com/2011/04/10/nyr…
Corrosive.

Couple of thoughts on the health care debate.
I was on the faculty @UMKC for 17 years. I wish I had saved all of the different health insurance cards I had over the years. Employer-sponsored insurance means you get to choose from the options *your employer choses for you.*
Do you want the HMO or the PPO? Employers shop around constantly, trying to find cheaper ways to provide coverage. I would have a wallet full of cards. My plan changed constantly. Different insurance providers, different networks, different co-pays, different deductibles, etc.
The idea that we are protecting INDIVIDUAL choice by preserving the status quote is laughably dishonest.

Back when rates were even nearer to zero, Summers used to make the case for large-scale infrastructure investment by saying, “at a time when we can borrow at virtually zero, in a currency we print ourselves..” I always hoped someone in the audience would ask the obvious question
Which is, “why, exactly, DOES the government borrow back its own currency?” He knows the answer. If everyone else understood, it would change everything.
I have a plan for that. 😉

Imagine 2 approaches to “paying for” M4A. One raises taxes to “pay for” all new spending. It’s deficit neutral but leaves 1M more unemployed. The other only partially offsets new spending but leaves unemployment unchanged. Which plan is better?
The point is, we’re talking about doing something that might reduce total health care spending from 18% to maybe 15% of GDP. If you screw up the offsets (setting them too high), it will spell trouble.
No prez candidate is going to write the blueprint that becomes law in 2021. The next president will have to work with the Congress s/he inherits to draft a bill that, hopefully, manages the employment effects responsibly.

THREAD.

The Frontier Centre for Public Policy (FCPP), a Canadian think-tank, claims it's a myth that "residential schools robbed native kids of their childhood".

oursask.ca/2018/09/23/an-…

/1
This same think tank publishes fake information climate change. They've published 23 different stories about it.

Here's one arguing that Canada wins if the earth warms, and here's another attacking the public sector.

So why bring attention to these stories? /2
Because the FCPP is connected to the Koch brothers and the Atlas Network. The issues/tactics they use are similar to what libertarian groups do in the US.

We've written about the Atlas Network, the Koch brothers and their influence in Canada here: /3

Well now, this article comes across my desk twice in 24 hrs & I've been aware of this fact & how it fits into the very complex multilayered fact patterns I've been posting out in all of my threadstorms in the last month I just haven't meandered my way into weaving in yet till now
This takes us all the way back to Perestroika & the fall of the Berlin Wall & the diaspora of senior Soviet officials into the new oligarchy & senior & most sinister KGB officials into the Russian Mafia & is at the very core of the launch of The Perestroika Deception.
There are 7 key American names involved in this & I'll deal mostly with them. You can read the WSJ article for complete context including the Russians and all the cash, but I'm focusing on who in America has been instrumental in aiding & abetting Soviet subversion & precisely how
