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. To make matters worse, all of this is occurring when the loss of jobs stands at a twenty-six year high with no end in sight.

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?
