Good Morning all of you Middle Class survivors; your King of Simple News is comin’ at ya. 
The debate over healthcare continues to rage, but it really doesn’t matter. Until someone with a bullet proof body suit stands up and says, “This system of maximum profit healthcare has got to go,” all of [...]]]></description>

Good Morning Middle America; your King of Simple News is coming to you hot off the keyboard on a snowy March morning in the Rocky Mountains.

Today, I want to talk about the functional, physical, and mathematical impossibility of the majority of kids in America acquiring a college education. I’ll use some old and some new arguments, and of course, the application of Mikeronomics.
I suppose that it’s necessary for me to qualify my stance on education yet one more [...]]]></description>

I’ve noticed over the years that American’s have become hardened to bad news. That is, so long as that bad news does not directly influence the party receiving it. 
The evening news will say such things as, “Eight Marines were killed today in Iraq by a suicide bomber and the controversy remains elevated [...]]]></description>

King of Simple News friend, Zellie, placed a comment on my site that included the link to GOOOH, http://goooh.com/Home.aspx which stands for Get Out Of Our House. The mission of GOOOH is to cause all 535 members of the House of Representatives to lose their jobs in November. 
My opinion is that this [...]]]></description>

The industrial nations that practice debt capitalism have many factions at play that are grossly incompatible. 
If a man and wife find themselves totally incompatible, they seek out a divorce and go their merry ways. Well…maybe not merry, but they do go away. Not so with our most cherished customs of debt capitalism; [...]]]></description>

Good Morning Middle America; your King of Simple News is on the air.

For the last couple of days we’ve been talking about the impossibility of our present healthcare system continuing.
