The Daily Beast - Democrats are steaming over the White House’s capitulation to liberal nemesis Joe Lieberman’s demands to remove a public option and Medicare buy-in from the Senate’s heath-care bill. Progressive figures including Howard Dean and Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas have gone so far as to suggest scrapping the bill entirely and starting over, sparking rebukes from White House officials like David Axelrod, who called such a move “insane” in a Morning Joe interview on MSNBC on Thursday.

In recent days, as the Senate has debated health care reform, small numbers of senators have held health care hostage by threatening to block a vote. The new proposal by the Senate puts the interests of insurance companies—and senators who would rather look out for the insurance companies—ahead of real reform.

There are some sane voices around. Better we listen to them or wait another 40 years for some kind of health care reform. Listen to the sane voices for a change.

 Ok, RealNEO, Issue 6 passed, and all sorts of political shenanigans have kicked off, as usual.  As you all know, I made some noise about running for city council this summer, but alas, it wasn't in the cards.  There's a new deck, dealing new cards, and now I'm looking hard at running for the newly created county council seat that includes Cleveland Wards 3 (downtown, Tremont, Ohio City), 7 (St. Clair-Superior), 8 (Hough), 9 (Glenville), and 12 (Slavic Village).

DetNews.com - Despite an official unemployment rate of 27 percent, the real jobs problem in Detroit may be affecting half of the working-age population, thousands of whom either can't find a job or are working fewer hours than they want.

Using a broader definition of unemployment, as much as 45 percent of the labor force has been affected by the downturn.
