The facts: For the near half-century following the Kennedy administration, Democrats created nearly twice as many private-sector jobs as Republicans. Even though Democrats held the presidency for only 23 years compared with 28 years of Republican rule.

Now he wants it both ways: Appease the right by first saying that he would have “let Detroit go bankrupt” and now saying that it was all his idea to rescue the auto industry in the first place and Obama just followed his advice.

Our bosses in name may be the media mogul, but our bosses in truth are the farmer and factory worker, the seamstress and the janitor. Our devotion must be to those whom we have never met, those who count on us, through transparency and candor, to defend the country from corruption and lies, excess and privilege.

The Romneys had four household employees, but many American families are more likely to have four employers. The central question of the campaigns is not: Should women work or should women stay home? That was answered about 30 years ago. The crucial question is: What do we expect from the private and public sectors to allow parents to raise healthy children?

Boehner has repeatedly hounded the president about an all-of-the-above energy strategy. So it seems weird for Republicans to be picking energy “winners and losers.” How is it that they can vote to extend tax credits for oil but not for wind?

Boiled down, if you believe access to health care is a right, then you want the government to make it available to all. If you believe health care is a privilege, then each person earns their own and government’s role is minimal.

Now for the reality check: this budget has absolutely no chance of becoming law. Everyone knows it will never see the light of day in the Senate.

Indeed, Republican obsession with Planned Parenthood alone has become a form of legislative sexual McCarthyism. Any program that has a remote link to Planned Parenthood is targeted for eradication — regardless of the collateral damage to poor women.

In their zeal to “let Detroit go bankrupt,” what’s left unsaid is the fact that the tea-steeped Republican presidential candidates are bankrupt of new ideas for moving this country forward in an aggressive global economy, bankrupt of compassion for those who are less fortunate and bankrupt of compromise with those who view the issues differently than they do.
