The Post, which published zero news articles anywhere warning of the collapse of the housing bubble, published yet another front page piece warning about budget deficit problems, this time in Greece. This one most expressed the concerns of unnamed "analysts," (people who didn't know enough about the economy to see an $8 trillion housing bubble). The piece does include an explicit reference to Moody's, the bond-rating agency best known for giving investment grade rating to near worthless collaterized debt obligations.
The point of this article is that the Washington Post wants to cut Social Security and Medicare and it will use its news pages to shamelessly push this agenda.
A second Trump administration will cement a right-wing majority on the Supreme Court for a generation, and put our collective future in the hands of someone who will be virtually unchecked by our institutions.

We're committed to bringing you the latest news on how Trump's agenda will actually affect the American people, shining a light on the stories corporate media overlooks and keeping the public informed about how power really works in this country.
