The global economy is built on the erroneous belief that the marketplace-read human greed-should dictate human behavior and that economies can expand eternally.

Fed policy in a nutshell. If you want to reverse deflation and ignite a 'global economic recovery'; pump up stock prices. In other words, if we just make the rich even richer, our problems will be solved.

The implications of the WikiLeaks Iraq War Logs for the US standing in the Middle-East are profound.- WikiLeaks' War Logs suggest the US had information to know that this estimate was only a small fraction of the reality.

Dave Lindorff, This Can't Be Happening: 'The dramatic and inspiring occupation of the Wisconsin Statehouse in Madison by angry public workers and their supporters over the past few weeks is an exciting preview of what we can expect to see in the halls of Congress before long, as right-wing forces, funded by corporate lobbies and corporate-funded think-tanks push hard for cutbacks in Social Security and Medicare... Here's the big point: Corporate America, and its political lackeys in the Republican and Democratic Parties, know that they are about to confront a dramatically more powerful protagonist in their campaign to kill Social Security and Medicare: the Boomer Retirees.'

The Battle of Wisconsin

Eli S. Evans, n+1: 'After my parents got back from a weeklong vacation in Florida, funded in part by the pensions they receive as retired Wisconsin public educators, they went to Madison and, after enjoying lunch at the hip, local-food-oriented The Weary Traveler, took to Capital Square to protest Governor Scott Walker's budget bill.... In itself, that probably won't change the fact that the Battle of Wisconsin is going to end as expected, which is to say, badly. But it may nonetheless give people like my parents and me grounds to continue to believe that, beyond the horizon of the expected, a more human future might yet await us.'

Incalculable

Kathy Kelly, Truthout: 'Sadly, more and more of us in America are getting used to the idea of child poverty - and even child labor - as our own economy sinks further under the burden of our latest nine years of war, of two billion dollars per week we spend creating poverty abroad that we can then emulate at home. Things are getting bad here, but in Afghanistan, children are bombed. Their bodies are casually dismembered and strewn by machines already lost in the horizon as the limbs settle... Afterward, we deplore the tragedy; we make a pretense of acknowledging the cost of war, but it is incalculable. We can't hope to count it. We actually, finally, have to stop making people like the nine children who died on March 1 pay it.'
