But hey – our kids all feel good about themselves – and they can tell you who won American Idol for the past 5 years. How bad can that be?

I read it last week, but had too much else going on to address it properly. However, today is as good (or bad, I suppose) a day as any to look at the ugly truth.

The first half of the article (the BAD news) is that our unemployment is actually ….really, reallybad. We’ve covered that before, and there’s not all that much new there. So, I am going to go straight to the “even WORSE” news.

By Mort Zuckerman at usnews.com:

“Bad News, or even WORSE News….?”

It’s time to adjust the gambit that people in all situations commonly use when reporting results to a supervisor: “What do you want first, the good news or the bad?” The formula that more aptly applies to the latest indicator of America’s economic predicament is: “What do…

“Bailout” – Fleecing the Middle Class

Peanut Gallery: This book reinforces what we already know – politicians serve their Masters, i.e. the big money people who finance their consultant-driven campaigns.

However, “Bailout” – by Neil Barofsky – details how badly ordinary Americans are being used and abused by Washington politicians and bureaucracies. No one is looking out for the American taxpayer. Barofsky suggests a break-up of the big banks.

Here’s my idea to reform Washington – Fire every Government employee who was hired over the last four years and disband every newly formed agency. If anyone notices, let disbanded agencies and fired employees re-apply and justify their existence.

Morning Reading: 1 Timothy 6.6-8 NLT

“Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it. So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content.”

Ron Radosh» Stanley Kurtz’s “Spreading the Wealth”

Peanut Gallery: In 2008, anyone who drew attention to Barack Obama’s radical roots and associations was ignored and considered a right-wing whacko. Well, the “chickens did come home to roost” and the whackos were proven right. America elected a Trojan Horse for the secular radical left.

So here we are in 2012. Is Stanley Kurtz just another radical right-wing whacko to be ignored? You be the judge – read Radosh’s review and then decide if it’s worth reading the book.

If Kurtz is right in his assessment… the “con” of the middle class is on and America – as we know it – is in serious trouble.

If someone was to say that these people want nothing less than to destroy suburbs in America, you might think that this sounds too crazy to be any kind of real possibility. Yet this is their goal and their hope, motivated by the belief that the growth of the suburbs was not a result of the desire to spread out and lead a good life by people who wanted to realize the American dream, but instead was fueled by racism, greed, and a desire to benefit from exploiting poor minorities. Those making such arguments occupy what is called a “regionalist” movement, and they hope to attain their goal through programs like regional tax base sharing in which money previously held by suburban communities for the benefit of those who live in them will be taken and redistributed to nearby cities and poorer suburbs.
