Andy Stern, the former head of the Service Employees International Union who now sits on President Obama's National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, said the United States needs an economic plan that does not include “worshipping” the free market.

“America needs a 21st century economic plan because we now know the market-worshipping, privatizing, de-regulating, dehumanizing American financial plan has failed and should never be revived, worshipping the market again,” Stern said in remarks at the annual conference of the liberal activist group Campaign for America’s Future in Washington on Monday.

“It has failed America and everyone that works here,” Stern said.

Stern said the changes that Obama and Democrats in Congress have made are nothing short of a “revolution” that will move the American economy from national to international.

"This not our father’s or our grandfather’s economy," Stern said. "We’re as far today from the New Deal as the New Deal was from the Civil War. And we cannot drive into the future looking in the rear view mirror."

He said the progressive movement must build on the past and look to the future as the economy is transformed "from a manufacturing base, to a service, finance, knowledge, green, Internet, and bio-science economy."

Part of the Preamble to the IWW (Industrial Workers of the Word) Constitution:

“The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. There can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found among millions of the working people and the few, who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life.

Between these two classes a struggle must go on until the workers of the world organize as a class, take possession of the means of production, abolish the wage system, and live in harmony with the Earth. “

Stern is #1 in visits to the Kenyan’s White Hut. Bambi eagerly looks forward to his visits to sharpen his education on the evils of capitalism and how life in the USA is just not fair.

Andy of Mayberry knows better. Don’t screw with Socialism, Stern.

It's called Crony capitalism, gives you bailouts and too big to fail, why some congressman's wife may even be cashing in on the bailouts. Slavery and slave trade was pure capitalism!!!

[Logical me]

Unbelievable! Any doubt as to what the US government has turned into?

King Obama and his communists Administration and appointees have nearly converted us to a communists run nation. And with the combination of most of the Democratic Party that are hard core socialists with some even communists, Americas conversion is nearly complete. November will not save us.

[surfer]

He is a traitor and he is going to bring an unbelievable amount of violence to this country and Obama will sanction ALL of it.

You better be ready!!!

Andy Stern is your typical Leftist thug. He’s not educated. He is unable to deal with reality. His emotional responses are perverse.

[Brilliant]

Capitolism. That’s what you get when Congress runs the economy.

[wildbill]

We must stop building capitols at once.

Does Alan Simpson agree with him?

[TruthConquers]

We have been a welfare state since FDR.

No, it's Socialism that has failed

He said the progressive movement must build on the past and look to the future as the economy is transformed

Nothing "Progressive" about marxism.

I understand the marxists wanting to call themselves something else, the reason why the right participates in the deception is beyond me.

Hang the communists, every last one of them.

Bloody damn good point!!!!!!!!!!!

The fact that this jacka$$ is on the "Fiscal Responsibility Commission" just shows what a joke it truly is. Republicans should distance themselves now from whatever conclusions this phony commission comes up with.
