3. Dean Baker is right up there with Krugman as a voice of
sanity against the fundamentalist economic theories that have dominated our country for over 30 years. We need a major shift back to Keynesian economic theory that puts money into the pockets of people at the middle and bottom not at the top. They've had their turn and trickle down is a joke. Dean Baker's essays and books make economic theory easy to understand. We don't need no stinking trade pacts. Trade, yes. Trade pacts that benefit drug patent holders, we don't need. We don't need trade pacts that have Wal-mart opening canning factories in Peru.

And Obama was pro Peru Free Trade too. He has many Hamilton Project aka Rubonites on his team. He is a free trader. He will be similar to Clinton in sacrificing more and more American middle class jobs while we get more and more cancers from a polluted environment and then worse and worse health care once we get sick.

Enough is enough . Time for a new New Deal. We need FDR not Ike.
