Her remarks set off a torrent of criticism."

Peter G. Gosselin, of The Los Angeles Times: "The skies over the economy have ominously darkened in recent days. The chief reason is oil. And there are signs the nation may have reached an economic tipping point after years of shrugging off the petroleum problem."

Wie bereits vor einigen Wochen angekündigt, teilt nun die Bundesagentur für Arbeit in einer offiziellen Pressemeldung mit, dass zum 1.Juli 2008 das Arbeitslosengeld II (ALG II) um schlappe 1,1 Prozent von 347 auf 351 Euro angehoben wird. Die Anhebung des ALG II Regelsatzes geschieht zeitglich zur Rentenanpassung.

Hartz IV & die Diätenlüge

Wer glaubt, Volkes Zorn oder die (späte) Einsicht, dass eine Diätenerhöhung von angeblich 1300 Euro/Monat (wie uns die Presse weis machen will) bei der derzeitigen tatsächlich doch schlechten Wirtschaftslage, stetig sinkenden Reallöhnen und immer neuen Einsparungen im Sozialbereich, einfach nur ungemein frech und absolut unangemessen wäre, Stichwort: Wasser predigen und Wein saufen, der Grund ist, der irrt gewaltig.

Nach Armutsbericht: Hartz IV Erhöhung gefordert

Während die Reichen immer reicher werden, werden die Armen immer ärmer. Etwa 13 Prozent, gemessen an der Gesamtbevölkerungszahl aller Bundesbürger, gelten als Arm. Weitere dreizehn Prozent aller Bundesbürger sind akut von Armut bedroht und können nur durch sogenannte soziale Transferleistungen davor bewahrt werden. Angesichts dieser erschreckenen Zahl fordern nun zahlreiche Sozialverbände und Parteien eine deutliche Anhebung des Arbeitslosengeld II (ALG II) Regelsatzes.

Open Borders Prove "War On Terror" Is Superficial

by Chuck Baldwin

No, my friends. The real war is not a "war on terror." The real war is a war against constitutional government, personal liberty, and national sovereignty. It is a war against the fundamental principles of America's Founding Fathers, that America should be a friend and trader with all, but engaged in entangling alliances with none. It is a war against the Bill of Rights. It is a war against the Spirit of '76, the spirit that says America is a free and independent country, subservient to no international entity or interest. It is a war against.......

Spencer Ackerman writes for The Washington Independent, "Across 29 California ports, as many as 25,000 longshoremen - members of the firebrand International Longshore & Warehouse Union - refused to show up for work in protest of the US military presence in Iraq. Activity at the ports was significantly diminished on May 1 - the international day of labor solidarity. Labor historians interviewed by The Washington Independent were hard-pressed to remember the last antiwar labor strike of this magnitude."
