Conclusion
...Poverty In America: A Special Report<br /><br />Conclusion<br /><br />America is fundamentally changing. We were a nation that had the largest middle class in the history of the globe, but now we are becoming a nation that is deeply divided between the haves and the have nots.<br /><br />Perhaps you are still doing fine. But don't think that economic disaster cannot strike you. Every single day, thousands more Americans will lose their jobs or will discover a major health problem. Every single day, thousands more Americans will lose their homes or will be forced to take a pay cut.<br /><br />If you still have a warm, comfortable home to sleep in, you should be thankful. Poverty is a very sneaky enemy and it can strike at any time. If you are not careful, you might be the next American to end up sleeping in your car or living in a tent city.<br /><br />It is easy to disregard a couple of statistics, but can you really ignore the vast amount of evidence presented above?<br /><br />It is undeniable that America is getting poorer. <br /><br />http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/poverty-in-america-a-special-reportGuestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5724181159639068489.post-36150026802181526702011-09-17T16:31:57.904-04:002011-09-17T16:31:57.904-04:00On the Edge with Danny Schechter

I checked nurses + protest on Google News, and the <br />only note take of their September 1 protest was a story in the Boston Herald and MarketWatch (but the latter merely published their press releases).<br /><br />Nurses have the potential to become an effective and visible source <br />of pressure, since they are disciplined, organized, and have a good <br />public image and are a large group. But they need more turnout and more <br />media interest in order to reverse the perception that nothing can be <br />done about the banksters.<br /><br />http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2011/09/nurses-hold-actions-across-country-demanding-wall-street-transaction-tax.htmlGuestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5724181159639068489.post-81941751603295516742011-09-17T09:17:09.359-04:002011-09-17T09:17:09.359-04:00#13.

This corruption worked both ways; <br />the power elite would receive financial gifts and property from the <br />economic elite, who in turn would gain the benefit of government <br />favoritism. Members of the power elite were in a position to obtain vast<br /> wealth from other sources as well: for example, by stealing national <br />resources. With the national security apparatus under control and <br />the media muzzled, this corruption was largely unconstrained and not <br />well understood by the general population.<br /><br />Fourteen Defining Characteristics Of Fascism<br /><br /><br />FINRA Drowning In Complaints About Market Manipulation<br /><br />http://www.zerohedge.com/news/finra-drowning-complaints-about-market-manipulation?Nodenyingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5724181159639068489.post-38515109242989301602011-09-17T09:10:46.417-04:002011-09-17T09:10:46.417-04:00Dubbed “#OccupyWallStreet,” the goal of the protes...Dubbed “#OccupyWallStreet,” the goal of the protest scheduled to start today is to get President Barack Obama to establish a commission to end “the influence money has over our representatives in Washington,” according to the website of Adbusters, a group promoting the demonstration.

And<br />his posture before this supposed Citigroup “decision” and after, has<br />been consistently bank friendly. Obama knew from the example of the<br />Roosevelt administration, which he claimed to have studied in<br />preparing his inaugural address, that the time to undertake any<br />aggressive action was at the very start of his term, in that critical<br />speech. March was far too late to start studying the question of<br />whether to nationalize Citigroup.<br /><br />http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2011/09/latest-obama-lame-excuse-my-staff-was-insubordinate.htmlAnonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5724181159639068489.post-89677416338853348622011-09-16T13:04:04.385-04:002011-09-16T13:04:04.385-04:00So the TARP worked?

Don't laugh. Dumpster diving has become a hot new trend in America. In fact, dumpster divers even have a trendy new name. They call themselves "freegans", and as the economy crumbles their numbers are multiplying. Many freegans consider dumpster diving to be a great way to save money on groceries. Others do it because they want to live more simply. Freegans that are concerned about the environment view dumpster diving as a great way to "recycle" and other politically-minded freegans consider dumpster diving to be a form of political protest. But whatever you want to call it, the reality is that thousands upon thousands of Americans will break out their boots, rubber gloves and flashlights and will be jumping into dumpsters looking for food once again tonight.<br /><br />http://www.zerohedge.com/contributed/dumpster-diving?Anonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5724181159639068489.post-89089684589525402642011-09-16T11:43:43.279-04:002011-09-16T11:43:43.279-04:00Isn't this the company that owns the network w...Isn't this the company that owns the network we get all the feel good news about everything that's bad with the economy??<br /><br />"We are not receiving special treatment"<br /><br /><br />GE responds to charges of crony capitalism<br /><br />General Electric, with a larger lobbying budget than any other <br />company in America, has long lobbied for and profited from Big <br />Government. Since Obama tapped GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt as Job Czar, this <br />critique has spread throughout the Right.<br /><br />When it came out that GE's U.S. corporate income tax bill for 2010 <br />was $0, anti-GE sentiment grew on the Left and Right. Finally, at the <br />latest Republcian debate Newt Gingrich attacked GE for profiting from <br />Obama-style green-energy loopholes.<br /><br />So today, GE responds:<br /> "There has been a lot of talk lately about GE and what some call crony <br />capitalism. Unfortunately, those same people don’t want the facts to get<br /> in the way of their political rhetoric."<br /><br /><br />http://campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/ge-responds-charges-crony-capitalismAnonnoreply@blogger.com
