He addresses the expanding national debt, increasing oil consumption and the breakdown of the wall between religion and state. -- Commonwealth Club Kevin Phillips is a political writer and commentator. Formerly a Republican strategist, Phillips has become disaffected with his former party over the last two decades, and is now one of its harshest critics.
