A Progressive Perspective: Profiles in Cowardice vs. Profiles in Courage (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 1956 Senator John F. Kennedy wrote the Pulitzer Prize-winning book Profiles in Courage, which told the stories of eight U.S. senators who took courageous unpopular stands and paid the price for standing up to power. They were people replete with eulogy virtues; those attributes that are talked about at funerals – kindness, bravery, honesty, and faithfulness. In a new book entitled Profiles in Cowardice, the author Jacob Weisberg inverts the JFK story and profiles eight prominent public figure
A Progressive Perspective: Rutgers performance against UMass was absolutely deplorable (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rutgers University (RU) opened its football season in Piscataway against the UMass. It was supposed to be a walk in the park. After all, Rutgers paid UMass, a team with 16 straight losses (0-12 last year), $1.55 million to be their opening game patsy. The cakewalk game turned into an absolute disaster with UMass humiliating RU, a 29.5-point favorite, by a score of 37-21.

A Progressive Perspective: Democrats Need to Tell Us How they are Going Fix Things (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Now is not the time for the Democratic Party to play it safe. Democrats need to spell out the big course corrections that will need to be made to turn the ship of state around.

Only by restoring fairness to our tax system, can we begin to address the growing wealth inequality gap which is destroying the American Dream by concentrating the nation’s wealth and power
A Progressive Perspective: When something isn’t working, you should try to fix it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When our cars, homes or our finances have a problem and aren’t working well we normally try and fix it. This is generally the most cost-effective and expeditious approach — better than buying a new car or home or declaring bankruptcy. Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have decided that in the case of the most vexing problems facing our nation, the “fix it” approach is not working and more radical solutions are required to address the status quo perspective that is all too pervasive. They co
A Progressive Perspective: Getting Governor Sherrill to spearhead a Trenton turnaround (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Governor Mikie Sherrill’s new budget contains a $120 million bail-out of Jersey City ($105 million in the form of a long-term no-interest loan and $15 million in transitional aid). The so-called “stabilization package” is to help close a projected $255 million structural budget deficit that would necessitate a significant tax increase. Why does Jersey City deserve a huge infusion of state dollars to avoid increasing its tax rate that resulted from poor fiscal management, when Trenton’s taxpayers
