a scratch pad for half-formed thoughts by a liberal political junkie who's nobody special. ''Hard Heads, Soft Hearts'' is the title of a book by Princeton economist Alan Blinder, and tends to be a favorite motto of neoliberals, especially liberal economists. mobile

Sasha Said - Help! Facing Homelessness with 4 Dogs Arthur Silber - Helping Each Other Susie Madrak - Fun with fundraising Digby - Help out a pal (William) Burton's back, baby. Oliver Willis - C.K.: November 22, 1999 – January 7, 2012 I sort of agree with conservatives that the range of human problems that can be solved with "more money" is quite narrow. But to me this just makes it more imperative to see what problems are so trivially easy to solve with more money and. . .solve them. [3F22] Summer of 4 Ft. 2 Lisa: In the beginning of the school year, each of you received a colored ticket. I hope everyone still has theirs. Fed statement is a positive step, 2 questions: 1) On what basis was the 2% target chosen? 2) (Quoting Atrios) What is the unemployment target? I guess to me the fundamental principle of macroeconomics is that people should not have to make drastic negative changes in their lives, unless those changes increase productivity, or welfare, or both. UPDATE: It seems to me that the fundamental fact of a recession is that people are forced to make major negative changes in their lives, and the changes they are forced to make neither improve productivity, nor welfare. Juan Cole - Petition against the Murder of Iranian Scientists If Israel is asking for active policy not only to keep Israel, strong, smart & rich, but for active policy to keep Israel's neighbors poor, weak & stupid, then Israel is asking for too (damn) much. Frankly, poor, weak & stupid is something all too easy for countries to achieve, even without Israeli murders of Iranian scientists. next post: Feb. 3rd.
