t r u t h o u t | As GOP candidates dial up their racist rhetoric, mainstre=

the same time, Truthout is facing financial trouble: We need your help to =
keep producing the no-nonsense reporting that can counter this shift to the=
right. Help support one of the few truly independent media outlets left!

The Unseen Costs of Defunding Planned Parenthood
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32892-the-unseen-costs-of-defunding-plan=
ned-parenthood
Katie Klabusich, Truthout: House Republicans approved the Defund Planned Pa=

Guaranteed Basic Income Is Not a Panacea
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32875-guaranteed-basic-income-is-not-=
a-panacea
Aaron Vansintjan, Truthout: Many praise a basic income guarantee as a radic=

Brazil Needs New Economic Program to Jump-Start Growth and Employment
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32882-brazil-needs-new-economic-progr=
am-to-jump-start-growth-and-employment
Mark Weisbrot, Center for Economic and Policy Research: Austerity is not wo=
rking in Brazil any more than it has been working in Europe. These policies=

estment in transportation and other infrastructure, but this is the spendin=
g that is first to be sacrificed.

Rebecca Gordon, TomDispatch: Four men without criminal records or any other=

n that list, including at least 500 Americans.

machine-duped-the-world
Despina Stratigakos, The Conversation: Hitler's successful domestic makeove=
