Richard D. Wolff | The Hidden Money
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/15812-the-hidden-money
Richard D. Wolff, Truthout: "Hiding money in the ways and amounts lately revealed by the International Consortium of Investigative Reporters is a deep kind of social corruption," writes Wolff. "It goes beyond questions of legality to the heart of modern political economy."

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/15829-bill-introduced-to-begin-rollback-of-high-medicare-drug-prices
Gaius Publius, America Blog: The Medicare Drug Savings Act of 2013, currently sponsored by 19 senators, would restore negotiated prices for low-income Medicare beneficiaries and save $141.2 billion.
Boston Police: One Marathon Bomb Suspect Dead, Second at Large
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/15830-boston-police-one-marathon-bomb-suspect-dead-second-at-large
Julie Moos, Lesley Clark and Chris Adams, McClatchy Newspapers: After an officer shooting Thursday night, one of the suspects in the bombings was apprehended and has died. The police have also asked people in several neighboring towns to stay indoors during the manhunt.
Why Not a New Deal Financed by Workers?
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/15802-why-not-a-new-deal-financed-by-workers
Joe Guinan and Thomas M. Hanna, Truthout: America's infrastructure is in disrepair, but the Obama administration's proposed solution emphasizes public-private partnerships with all the risks they entail. Instead, a true partner for rebuilding America can be found in the untapped potential of workers' vast pension fund assets.
Imperial Overreach: Forces Driving Pentagon Spending and US Asia-Pacific Military Strategies
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/15821-imperial-overreach-forces-driving-pentagon-spending-and-us-asia-pacific-military-strategies
Dr. Joseph Gerson, Truthout: While US foreign and military policy focus on preserving US Asia-Pacific hegemony, the US government forgets that military strength ultimately depends on economic strength, educational achievement and social cohesion, and tests the limits of popular tolerance for the military-industrial-Congressional complex.
Greed, Fear and Other Barriers to Health Care as a Human Right
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/15839-greed-fear-and-other-barriers-to-health-care-as-a-human-right
Philip Caper, Bangor Daily News: Our failure to expand health care to everybody is a major cause for our high costs. Segmenting our population into "risk categories," having thousands of different insurance companies, then arguing about who pays what, is very expensive.
House of Horrors: Violence on the Home Front
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/15836-house-of-horrors-violence-on-the-home-front
Erika Eichelberger, TomDispatch: Visions of unfathomable crazy mass killers and armed strangers in the night have colonized the American mind. But you're more likely to be hurt or killed by someone you know or love. And you'll probably be at home when it happens.
Punishing Students for Who They Are, Not What They Do
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/15840-punishing-students-for-who-they-are-not-what-they-do
Chloe Angyal, The Nation: Although school suspension rates are unnecessarily high, they're disproportionately high for those students who are already marginalized by society due to their race or disability.
Paid Sick Days Defeat in Philadelphia Followed Familiar Script
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/15837-paid-sick-days-defeat-in-philadelphia-followed-familiar-script
Brendan Fischer, PRWatch: The Philadelphia City Council has twice passed a paid sick days bill, and Mayor Michael Nutter has twice vetoed it. This shows how special interests aligned with the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) work to oppose these common-sense bills.
A World Without Landfills? It's Closer Than You Think
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/15838-a-world-without-landfills-its-closer-than-you-think
Jen Soriano, YES! Magazine: Two recipients of this year's Goldman Environmental Prize are working to abolish the practice of sending trash to landfills and incinerators. And the idea is catching on.
