Half of World s Refugees are Running From US Wars

Sarah Bufkin, ThinkProgress: *America s wars are forcing Afghans and Iraqis to flee their homes in greater numbers. According to a recent U.N. High Commission for Refugees study, nearly one half of the world?s refugees are from Afghanistan and Iraq, 3.05 million and 1.68 million, respectively. But neither the United States nor much of the developed world bears the burden of the 10.55 million refugees under the UNHCRs purview globally.'

Congressman Ryan: The Rich Man s Robin Hood

Kathy Mulady, Equal Voice Newspaper: 'Chairman of the House Budget Committee Paul Ryan (R-WI) describes his budget proposal as necessary steps 'to get prosperity back on track' and ?help people on welfare get back on their feet'... Critics say Ryan has it backwards. His swipes at programs for the young and old will hurt those barely hanging on in the fragile economy. Thousands more jobs will be lost in every state, further slowing recovery... The plan snips the threads of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid that Americans contribute to during their working years and count on for retirement or disability.'
