Progressives Say American Dream Movement Rivals Tea Party
http://www.truth-out.org/progressives-say-american-dream-movement-rivals-tea-party/1312923325
Mike Ludwig, Truthout: "As Americans face the economic fallout of the recent debt deal in Washington, members of the burgeoning American Dream Movement on Tuesday announced the Contract for the American Dream, a new agenda for economic recovery supported by a grassroots movement that progressive leaders say will rival the Tea Party in size and impact."
Reid Names Senators to "Super Committee"
http://www.truth-out.org/reid-names-senators-super-committee/1312997983
Lisa Mascaro, The Bellingham Herald: "Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced the first three appointees to a congressional super-committee charged with tackling the federal deficit, but the Democratic choices offer few signs that the panel can resolve the partisan stalemate that has only hardened in Congress amid the nation's worsening economic outlook."
Wisconsin Recall Replaces Two Republican Senators
http://www.truth-out.org/wisconsin-recall-replaces-two-republican-senators/1312987881
John Nichols, The Nation: "Five months to the day after the Republican majority in the Wisconsin State Senate voted to approve Governor Scott Walker's plan to strip most collective bargaining rights from public employees, two of the governor's most prominent allies in the chamber have been removed from office. Western Wisconsin State Senator Dan Kapanke and eastern Wisconsin Senator Randy Hopper were both defeated in recall elections that provided a powerful indication of the state's anger with Governor Walker's assault on worker rights."
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Record Number of Students Descend Into College Loan Debt, and More
http://www.truth-out.org/news-thom-hartmann-harry-reid-announces-picks-super-congress/1312990865
In today's On the News segment: Wisconsin recall election was the first major test of the new era in American politics, three Muslims killed in Birmingham when confronted by rioters, downgrading of nation's credit rating because Republicans refuse to raise taxes, Tea Party going extinct, record number of college students going deeper into student loan debt and can't find a job to pay, Harry Reid announces picks for "Super Congress," and more.
Jim Hightower | The Downgrading of America
http://www.truth-out.org/downgrading-america/1312981161
Jim Hightower, Truthout: "Many of us view the deficit ceiling brouhaha between the Obama White House and the laissez-fairy extremists in the Republican House as some combination of farce and fiasco. So much political playacting around a made-up deficit 'crisis' in order to avoid dealing with the real deficit that's crushing America's middle class and draining the lifeblood from our economy: the jobs deficit. But wait - before I could work out my anger over that fiasco, here came an even more incredible farce."
The Dangerous Myth of American Military Omnipotence
http://www.truth-out.org/dangerous-myth-american-military-omnipotence/1312896223
William J. Astore, Truthout: "A line at the tail end of Nicholas Schmidle's article in The New Yorker (August 8, 2011) on SEAL Team Six's takedown of Osama bin Laden captured the military zeitgeist of the moment. Upon meeting the SEAL team, President Obama gushed that the team was, 'literally, the finest small-fighting force that has ever existed in the world.' As a military historian, I was struck by the sweeping nature of that boast. The 'finest small-fighting force' ever in the history of the world? What about the Spartan 300 who gave their all at Thermopylae against the Persians, thereby saving Greek civilization for posterity?"
Warning: This Article Contains Graphic Journalism
http://www.truth-out.org/warning-article-contains-graphic-journalism/1312827588
Adam Bessie, Truthout: "Thirty-something Brooklynite, self-professed news-junkie and author Sarah Glidden laments that Iraq has become 'yesterday's news,' which editors now treat like yesterday's bread - a stale subject. So, Glidden decided to take the news into her own hands. With no promise of funding and 'no training in journalism at all,' Glidden, author of the graphic travel memoir 'How to Understand Israel in 60 Days or Less,' was determined to shed light on the all but ignored stories of the nearly two million Iraqis who fled to Syria in the eight years since the war began."
Part Two: FEMA and Disaster: A Look at What Worked and What Didn't From a FEMA Insider (1993 - 2000)
http://www.truth-out.org/part-two-fema-and-disaster-look-what-worked-and-what-didnt-fema-insider-1993-2000/1312555495
Leo Bosner, Truthout: "In the fall of 1992, following the debacle of Hurricane Andrew and the election of a new administration, it appeared to many that FEMA's days were numbered. But barely three years later, in 1996, FEMA's reputation would grow to the point where the president would elevate FEMA Director James Lee Witt to Cabinet status in recognition of how much the agency had improved. And less than ten years after that, in 2005, FEMA would once again be held up as an object of scorn and ridicule for its many perceived failures in Hurricane Katrina."
Look Again - July Jobs Declined by 198,000
http://www.truth-out.org/look-again-july-jobs-declined-198000/1312908891
Jack Rasmus, Truthout: "The Current Establishment Survey (CES), referred to as the 'payroll report,' indicated 117,000 jobs were created in July. That was more than the general forecast of 85,000 by economists, although still well below the 150,000 a month needed to absorb new entrants into the labor force. However, it was, nonetheless, heralded by the business press and politicians as 'not so bad,' considering that earlier in the week reports for manufacturing activity and consumer spending were disastrous - indicating the worst performances in two years for those indicators since the economy's 2009 lows."
Another Bailout Joins the Goofball Economy
http://www.truth-out.org/another-bailout-joins-goofball-economy/1312999261
Robert Scheer, Truthdig: "The whole thing is nuts. The economy is a shambles, saved from a free fall only by the Federal Reserve's unprecedented promise of free money for banks for at least two years. That's how long a seven-member majority of the Fed's Open Market Committee expects it to take for significant relief to take hold for the 25 million Americans who can't find full-time employment."
Compensate Victims of US Chemical Warfare in Vietnam
http://www.truth-out.org/compensate-victims-us-chemical-warfare-vietnam/1312982927
Marjorie Cohn, Truthout: "Today marks the 50th anniversary of the start of the chemical warfare program in Vietnam without sufficient remedial action by the US government. One of the most shameful legacies of the Vietnam War, Agent Orange continues to poison Vietnam and the people exposed to the chemicals, as well as their offspring. From 1961 to 1971, approximately 19 million gallons of herbicides, primarily Agent Orange, were sprayed over the southern region of Vietnam. Much of it was contaminated with dioxin, a deadly chemical."
Over 1,000 Arrested in UK as Anger Over Inequality, Racism Boils Over Into "Insurrection" (Video)
http://www.truth-out.org/over-1000-arrested-uk-anger-over-inequality-racism-boils-over-insurrection/1313000598
Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!: "Unrest continues to spread across England after protests erupted Saturday in London when police shot to death Mark Duggan, a 29-year-old black man. Mobs firebombed police stations and set shops on fire in London, Manchester, Salford, Liverpool, Nottingham and Birmingham. We go to London to speak with journalist Darcus Howe, a longtime critic of police brutality in black and West Indian communities across the U.K., and author and blogger Richard Seymour of the popular British site 'Lenin's Tomb.'"
TRUTHOUT'S BUZZFLASH DAILY HEADLINES
BuzzFlash at Truthout proposed the other day (http://blog.buzzflash.com/node/12923) that corporations should have their taxes increased to the highest possible level. But they could reduce those taxes dramatically: by proving that they have created jobs in any tax year and getting a tax credit for each new position.
There's only one very significant catch: the jobs must be created in the US, not overseas. If employers maintain their current workforce in America, they would also receive a tax credit. If businesses move jobs overseas, their taxes get raised higher depending upon the percentage of their workforce that is offshored.
Sounds like a sensible proposal. Create jobs in America and pay fewer taxes; move jobs overseas and pay higher taxes. Now this is where the rubber meets the road in determining who is really a domestic "job creator."
There is ample evidence that increased tax breaks for large corporations lead to two primary things: 1) expanding their workforce overseas, and 2) reducing their employees in the US and sitting on the profits. The stagnating unemployment crisis in the US is a testament to that.
An article in the Atlantic magazine from earlier this year provided ample evidence of this. Entitled "The Rise of the New Global Elite," (http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2011/01/the-rise-of-the-new-global-elite/8343/) it included the real "job creator" outlooks of the American global corporations. It noted the perspective of a US-based CEO:
"The U.S.-based CEO of one of the world's largest hedge funds told me that his firm's investment committee often discusses the question of who wins and who loses in today's economy. In a recent internal debate, he said, one of his senior colleagues had argued that the hollowing-out of the American middle class didn't really matter. 'His point was that if the transformation of the world economy lifts four people in China and India out of poverty and into the middle class, and meanwhile means one American drops out of the middle class, that's not such a bad trade,' the CEO recalled."
Similar sentiments abound in the article. Thomas Wilson, the CEO of Allstate put it bluntly: "I can get [workers] anywhere in the world. It is a problem for America, but it is not necessarily a problem for American business ... American businesses will adapt."
No, large American corporations are not creating jobs in the United States to any great extent, nor will they in the future.
They should be taxed to the fullest extent possible until they start producing employment here in the USA.
