Most of what I run into by googling is crazy nutty stuff like Faux News and whatever. I sometimes read The American Conservative, but they're one particular brand of conservative and that's only one source (also, I have a strong personal dislike of one of their columnists, Rod Dreher). I feel like I need a little more, but something else like them would be good. Bonus points if they're not scientifically illiterate (eg: not climate denialists).
I already have enough Marxist sources. I do not want any Libertarian sources. And, very seriously, no unskewing.
Also, the Papa John's guy's remarks about Obamacare were not really all that bad. It's a simple reality that if you make it more expensive to have employees, small businesses will find ways to absorb and avoid the costs - get around "full time" definitions, raise costs to consumers. That's simply what happens when costs go up.
Also, people need to think a lot more about their retirements and save a lot more. 25% isn't enough and nobody saves 25%.
Anyway, don't worry, I'm not committing any thought crimes. I still think hanging some coal and bank executives might be a productive policy.
