Über eine Million Menschen müssen ihren Verdienst mit zusätzlichen Hartz IV-Leistungen aufstocken

Obwohl viele Menschen einer regulären Beschäftigung nachgehen, müssen sie mit Hartz IV aufstocken, um ihr Existenzminimum zu sichern. Die Dunkelziffer dürfte weit aus höher sein, da nach wie vor viele Menschen den Weg zum Amt scheuen oder schlicht weg nicht wissen, dass sie einen Anspruch auf "aufstockende Hartz IV Leistungen" haben. Laut Angaben der Bundesagentur für Arbeit waren im Schnitt rund 1,325 Millionen im letzten Jahr auf zusätzliche Hartz IV-Leistungen angewiesen, obwohl sie Voll- oder Teilzeitbeschäftigt waren.

Bad Schwartau schiebt Hartz IV-Bezieher mit Tricks ab

Nach Informationen der Grünen in Lübeck werden in Bad Schwartau Hartz IV Bezieher regelrecht "abgeschoben". So würde die örtliche Hartz IV Behörde Erwerbslose in andere Regionen oder nach Lübeck abschieben. Und zwar funktioniert dieses Prinzip wie folgt. Lesen Sie weiter:

Hartz4-Plattform kritisiert: Rechte-Einschränkung statt sog. „Bürgerfreundlichkeit“

„Das ist ein skandalöser, neuerlicher Versuch der Bundesagentur für Arbeit (BA), die Rechte von Hartz IV-Betroffenen einzuschränken,“ stellt Hartz4-Plattform Sprecherin Brigitte Vallenthin empört gegenüber dem Sozialticker fest.

„Mit beschämendem Täuschen und Tarnen wollte die BA der Öffentlichkeit mit einer Presseerklärung der letzten Woche als angeblich „bürgerfreundlicher“ verkaufen, was in Wahrheit die rechtlichen Chancen der Betroffenen einschränkt – wie bisher erfolgreich gegen rechtswidrige Bescheide vor den Sozialgerichten um ihre Rechte zu kämpfen. Nach unserer Einschätzung und Erfahrung offenbart diese Aktion keineswegs den Wunsch der BA, tatsächlich „Bürgerfreundlichkeit“ in ihren Verwaltungen einkehren zu lassen. Im Gegenteil: wir sehen darin den untauglichen Versuch, der nicht beherrschbaren Flut von überwiegend erfolgreichen Prozessen vor den Sozialgerichten Herr zu werden.“

Just Don't Call It "Defense"

John Lamperti, Truthout: "The Pentagon 'base budget' request for fiscal year 2011 (beginning on October 1) calls for about $549 billion, an increase of $18 billion over the appropriation for the current fiscal year. That's nowhere near the whole story. The administration is also requesting about $160 billion for 'Overseas Contingency Operations' (OCO) that goes to pay for wars and occupations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. There's also $25 billion or more in military spending outside the 'Department of Defense,' much of that for nuclear weapons included in the Department of Energy's budget. (This $25 billion could be much larger, depending on what is included.)"

Pentagon Bans Reporters From Covering Guantanamo Military Commissions

Nancy Youssef, McClatchy Newspapers: "The Pentagon Thursday banned four reporters, including one from McClatchy Newspapers, from covering future military commissions at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, charging that they'd violated ground rules by publishing the name of a former Army interrogator who was a witness at a hearing there this week."

At Guantanamo, Even Soldiers are Stripped of Their Legal Rights

Andy Worthington, Truthout: "In the habeas corpus petitions submitted by prisoners at Guantanamo, district court judges have, to date, ruled in 34 out of 47 cases that the government has failed to demonstrate that the men in question had any meaningful connection to either al-Qaeda or the Taliban."

Was the Gulf Oil Spill an Act of War?

You Betcha

Randall Amster J.D., Ph.D., Truthout: "Speculation has been running rampant among certain sectors of the web world lately about the true origins of the massive oil spill that has engulfed the Gulf and threatens marine, plant, animal and human health in a region already beset by natural disasters and toxic industries."

Gulf Oil Spill: Questions Unanswered, Residents Try Legal Action

Mark Guarino, The Christian Science Monitor: "In the wake of the Gulf oil spill, rig operator BP has produced apologies, jobs for local fishermen to aid in the recovery efforts, and a promise to pay for all cleanup costs. But what it hasn't yet produced are answers to why the explosion happened and how exactly it plans to compensate local fishermen - unanswered questions that, three weeks after the explosion, are frustrating all those affected by the disaster, including leaders of gulf coast states and fishing operators."

As BP Oil Spill Fight Continues, More Areas Closed to the Public

Mark Guarino, The Christian Science Monitor: “With confirmed sightings of oil across a 50-mile chain of islands that line Louisiana's Southwestern coast, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) has ordered the affected area closed to public entry. The agency also expanded an earlier ban on fishing in the area east of the Mississippi River.”

The (Almost) Crash of Wall Street

Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog: "Ninety minutes before the end of the trading day today, the U.S. stock market almost melted down The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped nearly 1,000 points. The market regained ground before the end, like a giant 747 narrowly averting a crash landing, but the questions of the day are: What happened? And what does it mean?"

Congress Backs Wall Street, Rejects Big Bank Break-Up

Zach Carter, The Campaign for America's Future: "Late last night, the U.S. Senate rejected the single most important element of Wall Street reform by a vote of 33 to 61. The SAFE Banking Act would have forced the break-up of the nation's six largest banks, and dramatically reduced the political clout of America's financial elite. The 61 votes against the measure are votes in favor of Wall Street's stranglehold on our economy. No matter what else is ultimately enacted in the name of Wall Street reform, Congress has decided that it will not confront the single greatest problem in the U.S. economy: Too Big To Fail."

Derailing the Wall Street Attack on Social Security

Dean Baker, Truthout: "Emboldened by the fact that none of them have gone to jail for their role in the financial crisis, the Wall Street gang is now gunning for Social Security and Medicare, the country's most important safety net programs. Led by investment banker Pete Peterson, this crew is spending more than a billion dollars to convince the public that slashing these programs is the only way to protect our children and grandchildren from poverty."

Manipulation, Not Error, Behind Market Plunge

by Cliff Kincaid

The major media say the chaos on Wall Street was the result of a “trader error, possibly a typo,” as the Washington Post put it. Some reports claim the culprit was a “fat finger” on a computer somewhere that pressed the wrong key. But Zubi Diamond, author of the Wizards of Wall Street, says these claims are all lies. “What happened in the market on Thursday is a typical example of pure market manipulation” by unregulated hedge........
