Global confidence in the US economy has reached zero, as was proved by last month’s stock market meltdown. But there is an enormous anomaly in the US economy above and beyond the subprime mortgage crisis, the housing bubble and the prospect of recession: 60 years of misallocation of resources, and borrowings, to the establishment and maintenance of a military-industrial complex as the basis of the nation’s economic life

the same thing happened after 12 years of Reagan and Bush, it being 4 Trillion National Debt that the Clinton administration inherited from the Republican "fiscal conservatives".
In Contrast, the Clinton administration announced record budget surpluses annually:

There ought be a Federal Law requiring a balanced budget and no national debt.

Most people are unaware that the U.S. already has a "guest worker program". President Bush's "guest worker" proposal is not a new program but actually just an extension and codification of a visa guest worker program already in place that is rife with worker and human rights abuses that favors big business exploits immigrant unskilled labor and drives down wages and denies employment to U.S. workers. This program that amounts to human trafficking on the part of Big Business Corporate Interests as current labor and immigration laws are seldom if ever complied with or enforced and are flagrantly flaunting existing laws and regulations with impunity. It is doubtful that any new immigration legislation, should it ever be agreed on and passed by Congress and signed by the President, will be complied with or enforced with any more consistency as current laws and regulations that are already on the books. It is all political posturing on the part of elected officials to make it seem to the uninformed and misinformed public as if they are addressing the issue and problems. Talk about "smoke and mirrors"!!!

A federal judge last week awarded $1.9 million to 600 local Yakima Valley, Washington farm workers in compensation for illegal treatment by Global Horizons, one of the country’s largest labor contractors.
The judge found “undisputed evidence” that Global Horizons, contracting for two local growers, Valley Fruit Orchards and Acre Farms, violated six federal labor laws in their employment of Yakima Valley fruit orchard workers. These violations included firing workers for not meeting undisclosed productivity requirements, misleading workers about the piece-rates they would be given, and misinforming workers about available transportation options.
Even before the court ruling, Global Horizons lost its license to operate in the state of Washington because it deducted income tax from workers’ paychecks—in a state that has no income tax...
Every year some 120,000 unskilled workers are brought into the US with guest worker visas. They are granted stays for up to one year, which can be extended up to three years at the behest of employers...

Canada Free Press on the North American Union and Amero currency.
Dollar collapse would result in Amero.
"The idea of Amero is old". Our currency will be replaced - "it's their (The Feds) currency since 1913, and it has already been replaced when the currency went from gold coin to paper and debt system." Editorial at Gold-Eagle, a site for precious metals markets.

A week later the US stock exchange falls 2-3 % and drags the rest of the world economy with it.
Increasing numbers of people are saying "No" to the corporate global economy. Local economies build human relationships, increase wealth instead of money, and cut environmental harm. Tired of feeling powerless? Bring your economy home.

Agricultural research must change radically to realise people's right to food
Farmers and other citizens involved in a major effort to radically change the way the world thinks about food and agriculture will gather this month at an international conference in Mali.
The progress of this growing movement could have profound implications for scientific research, politics, trade and the fight against the twin curses of poverty and environmental degradation. At its centre is a fledgling concept in international policy debates: 'food sovereignty'.
