Joseph E. Stiglitz | The Price of Inequality
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9891-joseph-e-stiglitz-the-price-of-inequality
Joseph E. Stiglitz, Project Syndicate: "America likes to think of itself as a land of opportunity, and others view it in much the same light. But, while we can all think of examples of Americans who rose to the top on their own, what really matters are the statistics ... Nowadays, these numbers show that the American dream is a myth. There is less equality of opportunity in the United States today than there is in Europe - or, indeed, in any advanced industrial country for which there are data."
Senators Try to Kill EPA Effort to Reduce Mercury and Toxic Air Pollution
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9878-senators-try-to-kill-epa-effort-to-reduce-mercury-and-toxic-air-pollution
Mike Ludwig, Truthout: "The Senate is expected to vote [today] on a Republican proposal to stop the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from implementing new rules that would reduce the amount of dangerous pollutants such as mercury, lead and arsenic emitted from coal burning power plants and prevent more than 100,000 heart and asthma attacks each year. Lawmakers backing the proposal, led by Sen. James Inhofe (R-Oklahoma), claim the rules are part of the Obama administration's job killing 'war on coal.'"
House Republican Budget Would Raise Taxes for Middle Class, Cut Them for Millionaires
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9890-study-house-republican-budget-would-raise-taxes-on-the-middle-class-cut-them-for-millionaires
Pat Garofalo, ThinkProgress: "The House Republican budget would raise taxes on families making less than $200,000, even while it gives millionaires a tax cut ... Married couples in [the middle class] income range would pay an additional $2,700 annually to the Internal Revenue Service, on top of the tax increases that are scheduled to hit every American household when the George W. Bush-era cuts expire at the end of the year. Households earning more than $1 million a year, meanwhile, could see a net tax cut of about $300,000 annually."
Mubarak Said to Be in Critical Condition in Egypt Hospital
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9884-mubarak-said-to-be-in-critical-condition-in-egypt-hospital
Kareem Fahim and David D. Kirkpatrick, The New York Times News Service: "Former [Egyptian] President Hosni Mubarak's health deteriorated rapidly and he was rushed to a military hospital on Tuesday, adding to the uncertainty gripping the nation as the ousted strongman's longtime opponents, the Muslim Brotherhood, battled his onetime allies in the military for political power. There were conflicting reports about Mr. Mubarak's condition.... But by early Wednesday, an Interior Ministry spokesman said he was in critical condition but alive."
Bill Moyers | Follow the Dark Money
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/9886-clara-jeffery-and-monika-bauerlein-on-dark-money
Bill Moyers, Moyers & Co.: "While much of the mainstream media looks the other way, some journalists are working hard to identify the fingerprints super PACs and their benefactors leave on our victimized democracy. At the top of this list of journo-detectives are Mother Jones editors Clara Jeffery and Monika Bauerlein, who continue to throw light on what they call 'dark money.' In this conversation with Bill [Moyers], Jeffery and Bauerlein talk about the conspiracy of cash that allows the rich to influence our most fundamental political freedoms."
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Greece Finally Has a Government, and More
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9904-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-greece-finally-has-a-government-and-more
In today's On the News segment: Greece finally has a government; JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon again appears before the House Financial Services Committee; Congressman Paul Ryan wants to raise your taxes, while cutting his own; and more.
Youth Sex Workers Organize for Their Rights
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9888-youth-sex-workers-organize-for-their-rights
Kari Lydersen, In These Times: "When youth who live on the streets and work in the sex trade or other informal economies are victimized or abused, often the institutions that are supposed to help them ... do more harm than good. While many organizations dealing with sex workers aim to help them leave sex work, [Young Women's Empowerment Project] YWEP maintains that it is a valid individual choice and practices a harm reduction philosophy to help young people stay physically and emotionally safe and healthy no matter how they make a living."
Robert Reich | Dimon in the Rough: How Wall Street Aims to Keep US Regulators Out of Its Global Betting Parlor
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/9887-dimon-in-the-rough-how-wall-street-aims-to-keep-us-regulators-out-of-its-global-betting-parlor
Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog: "One advantage of being a huge Wall Street bank is you get bailed out by the federal government when you make dumb bets. Another is you can choose where around the world to make the dumb bets, thereby dodging U.S. regulations. It's a win-win. Wall Street would like to keep it that way.... Wall Street can't have it both ways - too big to fail, and also able to make wild bets anywhere around the world."
Elect the Dream: Strategy for Progressive Political Power
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/9885-elect-the-dream-strategy-for-progressive-political-power
Isaiah J. Poole, Campaign for America's Future: "What is now more clear than ever is that building a progressive political force is a 24/7/365 effort. It's not just work to be done during election cycles, and not just done in presidential and congressional elections.... One way to do it is to have more progressive people actually running for state and local offices. That effort is being coupled with stepped-up efforts to make sure that progressive candidates have adequate support once they make the decision to run - not just financial support, but logistical support as well."
The President's Never-Ending Campaign for Cash
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/9892-the-presidents-never-ending-campaign-for-cash
Michael Winship, Moyers & Co.: "[An] aversion to the whole of idea of super PACs from many Democrats and the left diminished a willingness to give large sums to the Obama re-election effort. But that has started to change.... Democratic Party groups are now openly appealing to their donor base to give money to super PACs and other outside spending groups, saying they need the air cover even this early in the year."
Public Workers Face New Rash of Layoffs, Hurting Recovery
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9895-public-workers-face-new-rash-of-layoffs-hurting-recovery
Motoko Rich and Shaila Dewan, The New York Times News Service: "Companies have been slowly adding workers for more than two years. But pink slips are still going out in a crucial area: government.... Government payrolls grew in the early part of the recovery, largely because of federal stimulus measures. But since its post-recession peak in April 2009, the public sector has shrunk by 657,000 jobs. The losses appeared to be tapering off earlier this year, but have accelerated for the last three months, creating the single biggest drag on the recovery in many areas."
Of Dreams and King: Dehumanization Begets Dehumanization
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/9900-of-dreams-and-king-dehumanization-begets-dehumanization
Roberto Cintli Rodriguez, Dr. Cintli's Blog: "After 10 years of Congress stonewalling on the Dream Act, the president has now acted. Of course it's a political move, just as everything the president does, and just as everything his opponents do, is political. But so too is dehumanization. Only when people are dehumanized can they be treated as less than human, as peoples less deserving of full human rights. The death of Rodney King reminds us of this. While seemingly unrelated, dehumanization is the common denominator."
Election Countdown 2012: Quebec's Political Parties Are Awash in Kickback Money, and More
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9883-election-countdown-2012
In today's Election Countdown 2012 news: A star witness at a corruption inquiry believes 70 percent of the money used by Quebec's provincial parties comes from outside registered donations; on a vote last week on legislation that will limit Michigan women's right to choose a safe and legal abortion, six Democrats actually sided with the Republicans; Obama has given immigrants a work permit, the ability to remain in this country, but no permanent status; and more.
TRUTHOUT'S BUZZFLASH DAILY HEADLINES
Bush Lied About 9/11, and Now We Have the Documents to Prove It
http://blog.buzzflash.com/node/13563
Mark Karlin, BuzzFlash at Truthout: "The newly released declassified CIA documents, sought by the National Security Archives under Freedom of Information (FOIA) requests, make the case that the US was betrayed by laziness (including Bush on his month-long vacation interrupted by photo ops of him clearing brush) and egregious incompetence."
