There's a lot of pressure right now to pass a new bill that would "help" the world's 1 billion hungry people by promoting chemical agriculture. We are devastating our own environment with these techniques, and doing so with little benefit to our farmers.

The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is it's everywhere. The world's most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.

The Centers for Disease Control gives good advice to stay home if you're sick. Unfortunately nearly half of private sector workers in the United States don't have a single paid sick day. For them staying home means losing pay and perhaps losing their job.

There's a bipartisan immigration bill before Congress that could drastically improve the lives of these men and women who pick our country's food. It's called AgJOBS--The Agricultural Job Opportunities, Benefits and Security Act (S. 1038, Feinstein).

The credit card industry made a villain of itself this year by benefiting from billions in taxpayer bailout dollars and then thanking taxpayers by raising interest rates and minimum monthly payments, even on their good customers. It's time to fight back!

The facilitating of payments used in the recruitment and sale of mail-order brides is unregulated. The major credit card companies are involved and have been for years. It opens the door to an increasing class of criminals to buy and exploit these women.

Banks are quietly changing the terms of millions of credit card accounts as they brace for a tough new law that will limit rate hikes. The law will restrict interest rate hikes unless a card has a variable rate, so banks are doing away with fixed rates.

The firms take billions of dollars out of the U.S. healthcare wallet as profits, while imposing enormous administrative costs on doctors, hospitals, employers and patients. They've introduced complexity into the system at every level. Why protect them?
