The Bain Way: Let the States Pick Up the Tab on National Debt?
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11486-the-bain-way-let-the-states-pick-up-the-tab-on-national-debt
Dina Rasor, Truthout: "Here's how government could be run 'The Bain Way:' Strip the assets of 50 companies (states) by selling off parks and universities, raiding pension funds and privatizing prisons to pay off debts and favored lobbyists. Why didn't Lincoln think of this?"
Fed Announces New $23 Billion Round of Bond Buying to Spur Growth
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11521-fed-announces-new-23-billion-round-of-bond-buying-to-spur-growth

A Tale of Two Chicagos: Teachers Protest Unequal System
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11529-a-tale-of-two-chicagos-teachers-protest-unequal-system
Yana Kunichoff, Truthout: "There are only 205 social workers - school-based counselors or psychologists - to be shared by the 675 schools in the Chicago school district. But for some students and teachers, the needs can be as basic as computers that work and air conditioning on a hot summer day."
Turmoil Over Contentious Video Spreads to Yemen and Iran
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11509-turmoil-over-contentious-video-spreads-to-yemen-and-iran
Nasser Arrabyee and Alan Cowell, The New York Times News Service: "Turmoil linked to an American-made video denigrating the Prophet Muhammad spread on Thursday to Yemen, where hundreds of protesters attacked the American Embassy ... News reports also spoke of a separate protest in Tehran [at] the Swiss Embassy, which handles United States interests in the absence of formal diplomatic relations with Washington."
Occupy Wall Street and the Art of Demanding
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11507-occupy-wall-street-and-the-art-of-demanding
Samuel Farber, Jacobin Magazine: "Of all the internal controversies Occupy generated, the one over whether the movement should adopt specific demands may have been the most significant. The resistance to raising demands, particularly on the state, is understandable since the notion of demands has become associated with negotiation, legislation and similar 'business as usual' that would blunt and even compromise the radical edge of the movement."
Liars Don't Lead, They Mislead
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11506-liars-dont-lead-they-mislead
Wilmer J. Leon III, Truthout: "During his acceptance speech, [Paul] Ryan said, 'I accept the duty to help lead our nation out of a jobs crisis and back to prosperity.' No, Mr. Ryan, you can't 'lead our nation' by lying to it and failing to take responsibility for problems that you helped create. Liars don't lead; they mislead."
Gar Alperovitz: "The Pluralist Commonwealth"
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11512-gar-alperovitz-the-pluralist-commonwealth
Gar Alperovitz, Truthout: "It is possible to bring together critical elements of the evolving foundational thinking, and project and extend others, to define the underlying structural building blocks of a political-economic system 'model' that is different in fundamental ways from both traditional capitalism and socialism."

Monopolizing War? What America Knows How to Do Best
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11516-monopolizing-war-what-america-knows-how-to-do-best
Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch: "War is what we invest our time, energy, and treasure in on a scale that is, in its own way, remarkable, even if it seldom registers in this country.... Think of it this way: the United States is alone on the planet, not just in its ability, but in its willingness, to use military force in drug wars, religious wars, political wars - conflicts of almost any sort - constantly, and on a global scale."
From 9/11 to 9/12: The Onset of Neoliberalism in Turkey, 32 Years on
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11505-from-9-11-to-9-12-the-onset-of-neoliberalism-in-turkey-42-years-on
Peter Mayo, Antonia Darder and Anne Hickling Hudson, Truthout: "Commemorations of the two September 11s this month (the first September 11 in Chile and the second one in the United States) should not obscure another tragedy around the same date, which took place in Turkey 32 years ago; it echoed the first September 11 in Chile."
Does Obama's Economic Policy "Just Need More Time"?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11517-does-obamas-economic-policy-just-need-more-time
Paul Jay, The Real News Network: "Gerry Epstein: [Obama has] got to get his backbone and say, look, if we want to get this economy going, we have to take some pages out of the book of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the New Deal, modernize them, and have some direct spending by the state and local governments to hire back teachers, hire firefighters and police officers and invest in infrastructure and green transitions."
"Values" Voter Summit: Of Train Wrecks and Frankenstein's Monsters
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11523-values-voter-summit-of-train-wrecks-and-frankensteins-monsters
Mikey Weinstein, AlterNet:
"The upcoming Values Voter Summit, organized by the obsessively anti-gay, fundamentalist Christian extremist Family Research Council (FRC) ... will entail a massive migration to Washington, DC, of religious fanatic 'birds of prey'of all different types. Indeed, the Values Voter Summit is a sight to behold insofar as it offers a perverse glimpse into the free-falling degeneration of evangelical Christian fundamentalism in US politics."
