The Secret History of Isis

L Paul Bremmer firing thousands of Iraqi police and military in June 2003, three months after our invasion, under Provisional Authority Act No. 2, IS the reason why ISIS formed.

Those thousands of fired police and military didn't go open falafel carts.

Why?
Pondering provided one major reason - costs vary wildly by State. Every State has an insurance regulator, so insurance is one of the most highly regulated industries in the country. There is very little nationally-available regulatory structure.


A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Aren't those all very good reasons why insurance should be national?

He brought up every conspiracy theory, every falsehood, every bit of slander that has ever spewed forth from the dodgiest corners of the right wing hit machine and made up a few along the way as well.

The deplorables will sleep well tonight knowing they are well represented.
