Sirota slams Obama Cabinet as part of duopoly

Calls out “one-party town” still in place

Starting with the fact it has not a single clear-cut Iraq war opponent.

He then goes on to the “corporate lackeys” of Obama’s economic team, starting with eminence grise Larry Summers, noting no “rival voice” to neoliberal worship of market orthodoxy is around:
From former federal officials like Robert Reich and Brooksley Born, to Nobel Prize-winning economists like Joseph Stiglitz and Paul Krugman, to business leaders like Leo Hindery, there's no shortage of qualified experts who have challenged market fundamentalism. But they have been barred from an administration focused on ideological purity.

But, Sirota is on a GREAT roll and doesn’t stop there.
Washington is the same one-party town it always has been -- controlled not by Democrats or Republicans, but by Kleptocrats (i.e., thieves).

That’s why I voted Green again.

Read the whole thing.

I didn’t want to believe in Change You Must Be Brainwashed to Accept™.
