John Nichols: The 'Fix the Debt' Campaign's Astroturf Roots

[midnight]

The rich are sending us the false message that America is broke instead John Nichols suggest our priorities are broke.

1. The VERY folks that are awash in wealth

are the ones that ran up this country's debt. Now they DO NOT want to have to fund the payback of the IOUs written against SS and M&M. That's really the bottom line of it.

2. It's hard to counter deficit hysteria

if leaders of both political parties are selling slightly different versions of it.

4. As long as we are controlled by fear the rich control the agenda. And the agenda is Austerity.

[Jack Rabbit]

3. Has anyone else noticed that "broke' (as in "broken priorities")

. . . rhymes with "Koch." And that spells astroturf.
