The Coming U.S. Budget Attack

By Shamus Cooke

The United States is moving backwards...fast. State budget cuts are decimating essential health and social services; public education is being destroyed; the social safety net is in tatters.

Memo to Obama

"For God Sakes, strap on a pair and get to it"

By Mike Whitney

This is bad. 10.2% unemployment. 16 million people out of work. Payrolls have been slashed 22 months in a row. The real jobless rate is now 17.5%. These are Great Depression numbers. Unemployment benefits have been extended, but policymakers still resist jobs programs. Why? Why no federal work programs? Why no WPA?

Why I Voted NO

By Dennis Kucinich

We have been led to believe that we must make our health care choices only within the current structure of a predatory, for-profit insurance system which makes money not providing health care.
