Kevin G. Hall, McClatchy Newspapers: 'Congress is playing a game of 'chicken' with the nation s finances, and the U.S. economy is at stake, with an Aug. 2 deadline. The gross federal debt hit $14.3 trillion on May 16. That's as high as the law allows. Unless Congress raises the legal ceiling to permit more federal borrowing, a financial disaster is all too possible.'

Cheat Sheet on Bank Investigations and the Probes That Have Petered Out

Marian Wang, ProPublica: 'As we and many others have noted, no top banking executives have been successfully prosecuted in connection with the financial crisis: not for making the bad loans that fed the mortgage machine, not for lying about the quality of the mortgages, and not forforeclosing improperly when homeowners struggled to make loan payments. But there have been many investigations. Some are still pending, others seem to have fallen by the wayside. Here s our overview of what the banks have been accused of doing at each stage of the mortgage machine.'

Wenn Menschen mit psychosozialen Problemen so ausrasten, dass sie von Polizeibeamten in 'Notwehr' erschossen werden, läuft es mir jedes Mal eiskalt den Rücken runter. So auch vergangene Woche, als die Nachricht von einer tödlichen Schießerei in einem Frankfurter Jobcenter ( http://www.gegen-hartz.de/nachrichtenueberhartziv/polizei-erschiet-hartz-iv-bezieherin-im-jobcenter-676.php ) durch die Presse ging. Der tiefere Grund meiner Gänsehaut ist ein persönliches Erlebnis vergleichbarer Art, das sich im Oktober 2007 zugetragen hat ? glücklicherweise ohne tödlichen Ausgang. Weiter lesen:

Tatort Jobcenter: 'Erschießung anscheinend unproblematisch'

Die Media-Watch Organisation 'der braune mob e.V.' zeigte sich bestürzt über den Vorfall im Jobcenter Frankfurt am Main, die Erschießung einer Schwarzen Deutschen durch Polizeibeamte, die zynische empathiefreie Reaktion des Sprechers der Polizeigewerkschaft sowie tendenziöse Medienberichterstattung.

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: 'As it stands today, virtually every important swing state in the union is either up for grabs or leaning heavily towards the Democrats, and all thanks to the Ryan Medicare plan and the resulting embrace of that plan by the GOP. There are even Tea Party members, highly influential ones, who see blood on the moon for Republicans if matters continue as they have. South Florida Tea Party chairman Everett Wilkinson fired off an email last Thursday describing the Ryan Plan as a disaster in the making. Such is the power of Medicare, one of the best and most critically helpful government programs ever devised. Medicare, as everyone knows, is focused on offering federal assistance to older Americans, which makes it a massive political hand grenade; right now, the ranks of retired and elderly persons are swelling in a way never seen in this country before, as millions of Baby Boomers reach retirement age.'
