Dave Johnson, Campaign for Americas Future: 'Every poll shows that the public wants the same thing that economists say we need: increases in spending on the things that grow our economy, cuts in military and tax increases on the rich and big corporations (2/3 of which pay no taxes at all) - the very items that are 'off the table' in the budget negotiations!.. How bad are our negotiators, when the public is solidly behind the right thing to do,and they are negotiating with a starting position that is the opposite of good policy and public demand?'

Labor Pains and the GOP

Michael Winship, Truthout: 'Radical Islam and global terrorism may have replaced World Communism and the Cold War as the threats lurking under every bed and behind each closet door but organized labor is the conservative bugbear that keeps on giving, no matter which international conspiracy is busily undermining the republic... The fact remains that labor is nowhere near the nefarious force of iniquity they would have you think it is.'

Steve Lebowitz and Lee Fang, ThinkProgress: 'In 2008, Steve Lonegan, the New Jersey state director for David Koch's Americans for Prosperity group, announced a campaign to run for governor. Running as a Republican, Lonegan lost to Chris Christie (R-NJ) in the Republican primary, and Christie went on to win the general election later in 2009. But recent tax disclosures examined by ThinkProgress reveal that Lonegan, who used $2.7 million in taxpayer matching funds for his gubernatorial campaign, may have deceived public officials in order to collect the public money used for his campaign.'

Frances Fox Piven and Cornel West, The Nation: 'Wall Street Banks, American corporations and their political allies have declared a one-sided war on the American people. This war is being waged at our schools and colleges, the workplace and in our communities. Today, Americans are working harder and earning less while corporate profits soar. As homeowners, consumers and students we see our wealth being stripped away by banks.'

Sen. Bernie Sanders: The Top Ten Worst Corporate Income Tax Avoiders

Video

Sen. Bernie Sanders: 'While hard working Americans fill out their income tax returns this tax season, General Electric and other giant profitable corporations are avoiding U.S. taxes altogether. With Congress returning to Capitol Hill on Monday to debate steep spending cuts, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said the wealthiest Americans and most profitable corporations must do their share to help bring down our record-breaking deficit.'

Unemployment for African-Americans Rises, Despite Job Growth

Dean Baker, Center for Economic and Policy Research: 'The economy added 216,000 jobs in March, pushing the overall unemployment rate down to 8.8 percent. The growth was driven entirely by a 230,000 gain in the private sector, as the government sector lost jobs for the fifth consecutive month. The employment-to-population ratio (EPOP) also edged up to 58.5 percent - the highest ratio since September - although this is still 4.4 percentage points below the pre-recession peak.'

The Truth About the Economy That Nobody in Washington or on Wall Street Will Admit

Robert Reich, Robert Reichs Blog: 'Why arent Americans being told the truth about the economy? We're heading in the direction of a double dip - but you'd never know it if you listened to the upbeat messages coming out of Wall Street and Washington. Consumers are 70 percent of the American economy, and consumer confidence is plummeting. It's weaker today on average than at the lowest point of the Great Recession.'

Nadia Prupis, Truthout: 'Armed with an ideological agenda, House Republicans took aim at net neutrality again this month, quietly introducing a Congressional 'resolution of disapproval' to overturn recent Federal Communications Commission (FCC) laws prohibiting anti-competitive behavior among Internet providers. H.J. Res. 37 passed 30-23 on March 15, and will now go to the House of Representatives for a vote, which House Speaker John Boehner said in late February could happen 'as early as next month'.
