      Letter: Is It Socialism, Really?

      • Mark Hengesbaugh, Foothills

      It’s a fact of American history that any effort by middle income and working families to reform excesses of our capitalist system will always be always labeled “socialism” by right-wingers and their wealthy backers. Child labor laws? “Socialism!” Antitrust laws? “Socialism!” They characteriz…

              Congress must protect our military from dangerous mold | Virginian-Pilot

                Elected officials rarely miss a chance to pose for photos at military bases or thank military personnel for their service. But when it comes to providing the pay, health care and quality housing that service members and their families deserve, political leaders are often slow to report for duty — or are AWOL entirely.

                  Mandatory service can renew young people’s faith in America | Rep. Tom Suozzi and Scott Galloway

                    A transfer of wealth from young to old, a flawed education system and polarizing technology platforms have produced a generation of Americans who no longer believe in America. According to Gallup, 75% of baby boomers feel very or extremely proud to be an American, compared with just 41% of those younger than 30. We are raising the most isolated, anxious and disconnected generation in our history.

                        A defining moment from John McCain’s 2008 campaign is being revisited as a reminder of political integrity, highlighting the importance of correcting misinformation — even within one’s own party — in today’s polarized climate.
