Universal Health Care: Can We Afford Anything Less?
http://www.truth-out.org/universal-health-care-can-we-afford-anything-less/1309629951
Gerald Friedman, Dollars & Sense: "America's broken health-care system suffers from what appear to be two separate problems. From the right, a chorus warns of the dangers of rising costs; we on the left focus on the growing number of people going without health care because they lack adequate insurance. This division of labor allows the right to dismiss attempts to extend coverage while crying crocodile tears for the 40 million uninsured. But the division between the problem of cost and the problem of coverage is misguided."
The Tyranny and Devastating Glory of Greece
http://www.truth-out.org/tyranny-and-devastating-glory-greece/1309534774
Evaggelos Vallianatos, Truthout: "Germany ought to convince its EU and IMF partners to give a substantive 'haircut' to the Greek debt. Only then would Greece be able to return to rebuilding and reforming its economy for normal development that the Nazis so violently interrupted."
On the News With Thom Hartmann: CEO Pay Up 23 Percent for 200 Largest Corporations, and More
http://www.truth-out.org/news-thom-hartmann-ceo-pay-23-200-largest-corprations-and-more/1309882047
In today's segment, Thom Hartmann discusses how CEO compensation has increased dramatically for the country's largest corporations as workers lose ground, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio holds prisoners in "tent cities" in 145-degree heat, the ExxonMobil oil pipepline under the Yellowstone River has ruptured, Illinois's death-row prohibition has taken effect, and more.
Kansas to Pursue Abortion-Blocking Legislation Despite Court Injunction
http://www.truth-out.org/kansas-pursue-abortion-blocking-legislation-despite-court-injunction/1309887929
Igor Volsky, ThinkProgress: "A federal judge has temporarily blocked Kansas from enforcing new licensing regulations against its three abortion providers, but that doesn't mean that the state is letting up in its effort to outlaw abortions across the state. To the contrary, Gov. Sam Brownback's (R) administration plans to enact new permanent regulations that may be identical to the temporary rules being challenged in court."
Subsidizing Profits, Weakening Social Security: The Employer Payroll Tax Cut
http://www.truth-out.org/subsidizing-profits-weakening-social-security-employer-payroll-tax-cut/1309872784
Dean Baker, Truthout: "These days, it appears as though the main goal of government policy is to give as much money as possible to corporations and the wealthy. This is an area where there has been considerable success, with the profit share of GDP at near record highs and the richest 1 percent holding a larger portion of the nation's wealth than at any point since the late '20s. The proposals for an employer-side payroll tax cut should be seen in this light."
In Comics World, Women Are Invisible - Except When They're Naked
http://www.truth-out.org/comics-world-women-are-invisible-except-when-theyre-naked/1309876116
In the latest installment of Ladydrawers, Truthout's semimonthly comics collaboration, Sara Drake and Anne Elizabeth Moore take on gender bias in the comics world. In an arena where female characters don't often get a spotlight unless they're naked, women comics artists have a tough time getting the acclaim they deserve. For example, the "Masters of Comics" exhibition in 2005 - an attempt to create an American comic canon - featured all male comics artists.
Class War in Greece and the World
http://www.truth-out.org/class-war-greece-and-world/1309455676
Peter G. Prontzos, Truthout: "Once again, democracy has been crushed in the very land where it was born. Despite unprecedented opposition by the vast majority (70-80 percent) of the population, the Greek Parliament surrendered its national sovereignty by giving in to the harsh and unjust demands of 'The Troika' - the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the European Central Bank and the European Commission. While the situation is complex, one point is clear: the great majority of Greeks were not responsible for the enormous debt that had built up over the last decade."
Hugo Chavez Returns to Venezuela Vowing to Beat Cancer
http://www.truth-out.org/hugo-chaves-returns-venezuela-vowing-beat-cancer/1309871768
Jim Wyss, McClatchy Newspapers: "Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez capped a four-day public relations blitz Monday with a triumphant return home after 26 days holed up in a Havana hospital. It was the moment thousands of his followers had waited for: 56-year-old Chavez in his green fatigues and red beret, thinner, paler, but home. More vulnerable and solemn than Venezuelans are accustomed to, Chavez stood on the balcony of the Miraflores presidential palace before throngs of adoring fans that stretched as far as the eye could see and vowed to win his latest battle: cancer."
What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Jobs
http://www.truth-out.org/what-we-dont-talk-about-when-we-talk-about-jobs/1309884246
Andy Kroll, TomDispatch: "The unemployment lines run through history like a pair of train tracks. Since the 1940s, the jobless rate for blacks in America has held remarkably, if grimly, steady at twice the rate for whites. The question of why has vexed and divided economists, historians, and sociologists for nearly as long. For years the sharpest minds in academia pointed to upheaval in the American economy as the culprit. In his 1996 book When Work Disappears, the sociologist William Julius Wilson depicted the forces of globalization, a slumping manufacturing sector, and suburban flight at work in Chicago as the drivers of growing joblessness and poverty in America's inner cities and among its black residents."
Are Subsidized Student Loans Worth the Price?
http://www.truth-out.org/are-subsidized-student-loans-worth-price/1309875252
James Kwak, The Baseline Scenario: "In the abstract, I believe that society should be subsidizing higher education, both because it's an investment in human capital and because it helps equalize opportunity. But how do you weigh the people who benefit from subsidized loans against the people whose lives are being ruined by them? Maybe we need another approach, like restricting subsidized loans to public institutions, or restricting the amount so that it only covers public-school tuition, or switching from a lot of subsidized loans to a smaller volume of cash grants. It's possible that a few tweaks to the current system could be enough, but I wouldn't assume that at the beginning."
TRUTHOUT'S BUZZFLASH DAILY HEADLINES
How did corporations ever come to be deified in America?
Because the Republican Party, the White House (to a great degree) and the corporate mass media hold out global businesses to be the "savior" of the US.
Forget that Michele Bachmann is claiming that she is running for president because God encouraged her to do so, BuzzFlash wants to know what Wal-Mart and GE told her.
Ironically, the corporations that span the planet are like the golden calf that Moses found his people worshipping when he came down from Mount Sinai with the Ten Commandments. It was a false, physical manifestation of God, according to the Old Testament.
Corporations today are akin to the golden calf, in that "conventional wisdom" ascribes God-like powers to them to revitalize the American economy, when an increasing percentage of America's financial assets has tipped into the hands of relatively few global businesses and financiers. The goal of this "1 percent" is not prosperity for Americans; it is to increase corporate profits and personal gain on a global level and, right now, the American worker has become an increasingly small component of that objective.
Despite "prosperity theology," the stock market and financial masters of the universe are without any religious context. It's quite simple, shareholders and investors expect corporations and banks "too big to fail" to pursue one simple goal: to maximize profits. If you have read of any wealthy person investing money to increase jobs in America, please email BuzzFlash. Rich Americans don't invest in US employment; they invest in increasing their assets.
Corporations, not actually being Gods to the citizens of the United States, could not care less about the well-being of their "flock" in the 50 states. When Moses, after his descent from Mount Sinai, saw that the people were worshipping the golden calf, he threw down the Ten Commandments in outrage and disgust.
How ironic for those running for office who believe that corporations are part of the divine order - and that if one just has faith in them, this nation will again burst forth with jobs.
They are bowing before a pagan image.
