"The reality is that the same speculators that caused the global economic meltdown through their illustrious trade in sub-prime mortgages, are betting on our food system now too." She argues that investment funds are pouring into speculating on food prices.

The US by itself accounts for roughly half of military spending worldwide. How much better if some of that money would be used to improve the country's education and infrastructure, or provide health care for all, or increase foreign aid, rather than on protecting America from threats that geography alone renders illusory.

Hat Bundesarbeitsministerin Ursula von der Leyen bei der Neuberechnung der Hartz-IV-Sätze für Erwachsene getrickst? Neues Datenmaterial zeigt:

Die Leistungen für die knapp fünf Millionen erwachsenen Hartz-IV-Empfänger könnten deutlich höher ausfallen - wenn die Regierung ihre Berechnungsmethode verändert. (...) Daraus ergibt sich, dass die Leistungen für die 4,8 Millionen erwachsenen Hartz-IV-Empfänger deutlich höher ausfallen würden, wenn die Regierung ihre Berechnungsmethode verändert. Statt der geplanten Erhöhung von 359 auf 364 Euro wären dann 394 Euro drin, also insgesamt 35 Euro zusätzlich??

Lindner streut Menschen Sand in die Augen

Zur vermeintlichen Kompromissbereitschaft des FDP-Generalsekretärs Lindner beim Hartz-IV-Regelsatz erklärt die stellvertretende Vorsitzende der LINKEN, Katja Kipping:

Lindner versucht uns Sand in die Augen zu streuen. Der Verweis auf die Warmwasserkosten ist vor allem eins: ein Ablenkungsmanöver, um nicht über die wirklich notwendigen Erhöhungen des Regelsatzes zu reden. Bei den Kosten für Warmwasser handelt es sich lediglich um 6,47 Euro, die bei den von den Kommunen zu zahlenden Kosten der Unterkunft anfallen. Bisher wurde diese sechs Euro pauschal von den Kosten der Unterkunft abgezogen. Teilhabe braucht mehr als warmes Wasser. Warmes Wasser macht aus einem Dumpingexistenzminimum noch kein menschenwürdiges Existenzminimum. SPD und Grüne kann ich nur warnen, auf dieses Ablenkungsmanöver einzugehen. SPD und Grüne sind gut beraten, nicht zu niedrig abzuschließen. Maßstab für die Verhandlungen ist ein verfassungsgemäßer Regelsatz.

Russ Feingold was a different kind of senator?more committed to progressive principles than to a party, an internationalist who opposed free-trade deals because they served multinational corporations rather than multinational communities, a stalwart defender of the Constitution whose commitment to civil liberties and regard for the requirement that wars be declared by Congress led him to stand alone against presidents and colleagues...

Most everyone is familiar with the disastrous consequences of the war on drugs: drug gangs, drug lords, drug suppliers, gang wars, muggings, robberies, thefts, corruption of judges, prosecutors, and law-enforcement officials, murders, assassinations, overcrowded jails, asset forfeiture, and on and on. The fact is that nothing good is produced by the war on drugs. All the results are bad...

The economy will grow by three to four percent in 2011, according to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, but unemployment will remain. Meanwhile, according to Bernanke, the horrid spectre of deflation has been averted for the moment. Finally, banks are getting back to basics and making 'prudent loans,' instead of rash ones that led to the 'trouble' of 2008...

The Pentagon's So-Called "Cuts"

According to the Secretary of Defense, this massive set of cuts would, in fact, guarantee "modest growth" in the already monstrous Pentagon budget for at least the next three years.
