Forget The Political Show When You Look Behind The Curtain You See Corporate America is Going Strong

JP Morgan announced its second-highest quarterly profits. Ever. $3.59 billion.

Cable giant Comcast said it wants to take over NBC Universal (currently owned by GE).

The rest of us?

Unemployment is up. Incomes are down.

The number of foreclosures is through the roof.

The gap between the haves and have-nots is wider than ever.

Financial reform? Forget it. Real healthcare reform? Nowhere in sight.
