Richard D. Wolff, Truthout: ''The truth about 'economic recovery' is that, for the mass of people, it is untrue. For the top 10 percent and especially the top 1 percent, those who brought global capitalism into crisis in 2007, recovery has been real.... 'Recovery' is the go-to word when business and government impose conditions to make the US more profitable especially for big business. 'Recovery,' in this capitalist economy, refers to profits, not to people.''

The Bipartisan Force Behind the For-Profit College Scam: Big Money

Zaid Jilani, Republic Report: ''As we head into an election year, we are going to increasingly hear that Democrats and Republicans fight like cats and dogs, that there is a civil war in Washington. This describes the state of play on some issues, but on others there is bipartisan agreement to do the wrong thing: Both parties do what the money tells them to do.''

A Brief History of the Education Culture Wars: On Santorum s Legacy, the GOP and School Reform

Dana Goldstein, The Nation: ''A significant segment of the Republican electorate understands public education not as a crucial civic institution ... Instead, this coalition of religious conservatives and extreme tax-cutters prefers to vilify public schools and actually, pretty much any traditional educational institution, including liberal arts colleges as potential corruptors of the nation s youth; as unwanted interlocutors in that most sacred relationship: the one between a child and her parent.''

Everything Dies

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: ''The power of the pen, a single op-ed, cost these brutes more than $2 billion in a single day. That, right there, is capitalism. Real capitalism. An institution which decrees that those who can t compete, and those who cheat, die. Hm. Sounds pretty good to me. 'Too Big To Fail' is someone else s catch-phrase. Nothing on the skin of this Earth is too big to fail.''
