7/26/11, "Can’t We Do This Right?" Tom Friedman, NY Times columnist
"Alas, that is the Tea Party. It is so lacking in any aspiration for American greatness, so dominated by the narrowest visions for our country and so ignorant of the fact that it was not tax cuts that made America great but our unique public-private partnerships across the generations. If sane Republicans do not stand up to this Hezbollah faction in their midst, the Tea Party will take the G.O.P. on a suicide mission."...

"One-party autocracy certainly has its drawbacks. But when it is led by a reasonably enlightened group of people, as China is today, it can also have great advantages. That one party can just impose the politically difficult but critically important policies needed to
- ve a society forward in the 21st century."...

4/13/11, "More Americans leaving the workforce," USA Today, Dennis Cauchon
"The share of the population that is working fell to its lowest level last year since women started entering the workforce in large numbers three decades ago, a USA TODAY analysis finds.
Only 45.4% of Americans had jobs in 2010, the lowest rate since 1983 and down from a peak of 49.3% in 2000. Last year, just 66.8% of men had jobs,
- the lowest on record.
The bad economy, an aging population and a plateau in women working are contributing to changes that pose serious challenges for
- financing the nation’s social programs."...
