Paul Krugman, The New York Times: "The Dow is surging! No, it's plunging! No, it's surging! No, it's ... Nevermind. While the manic-depressive stock market is dominating the headlines, the more important story is the grim news coming in about the real economy. It's now clear that rescuing the banks is just the beginning: the nonfinancial economy is also in desperate need of help."

Aziz Huq, TomDispatch.com: "Do empires end with a bang, a whimper, or the sibilant hiss of financial deflation? We may be about to find out. Right now, in the midst of the financial whirlwind, it's been hard in the United States to see much past the moment. Yet the ongoing economic meltdown has raised a range of non-financial issues of great importance for our future. Uncertainty and anxiety about the prospects for global financial markets - given the present liquidity crunch - have left little space for serious consideration of issues of American global power and influence."

Pressemitteilung der ödp München vom 17.10.2008:

ödp München schreibt MdL Eisenreich, Unterländer und Piazolo: „Werden Sie gegen alte Politiker-Privilegien aktiv!“ Überzogene Pensionen stoppen, Aufsichtsrats- und Beraterposten verbieten, Verhaltensregeln für Abgeordnete ändern!

Die Münchner ödp forderte die örtlichen Landtagsabgeordneten Eisenreich, Unterländer und Piazolo anlässlich der konstituierenden Sitzung am Montag (20. Oktober 2008) auf, unzeitgemäße Privilegien der Parlamentarier zu beenden. Die Streichung "überzogener Politiker-Pensionen und ein Verbot von Aufsichtsratsposten und Beraterverträgen für Abgeordnete ist längst überfällig“, erklärt Markus Hollemann, stellv. Vorsitzender der Münchner ödp. Außerdem soll es nach Ansicht der ödp die steuerfreie Aufwandspauschale nur noch gegen Einzelbelege geben und nicht wie bisher ohne Nachweise.

Auch die Verhaltensregeln für Landtagsabgeordnete müssen nach Ansicht der Ökodemokraten auf den Prüfstand: „Abgeordnete sollen wie Richter, Polizisten und andere Beamte keine privaten Spenden annehmen dürfen“, fordert Hollemann. Derzeit dürfen Landtagsabgeordnete nach den geltenden Verhaltensregeln Zahlungen bis zu einer Höhe von 10.000 Euro annehmen, ohne dass dies überhaupt veröffentlicht werden muss, kritisiert der Münchner ödp-Vize.

„Mit dem Verbot von Aufsichtsratsposten und Beraterverträgen könnte der neue Landtag signalisieren, dass die Politiker dem gesamten Volk dienen und nicht wirtschaftlichen Einzelinteressen oder Verbänden. Die Abgeordneten sollen auch für ihren Ruhestand selbst vorsorgen - wie es auch von den Bürgerinnen und Bürgern zunehmend verlangt wird“, fordert Hollemann.

The bailout opposed by so many Americans was nevertheless negotiated by the Federal Reserve with the help of Congress and the Administration. The final bill for the hotly debated rescue of the rich is over 1 trillion dollars including the ear marks and special interests sops that were included. But this is small change compared to the money that is being pumped into the monetary system by the Federal Reserve without any debate or consent. New money is being printed at record rates, insuring that the currency you have in your pocket will buy less and less everyday. As more people wake up to the threat to American’s future posed by the Federal Reserve, interest is being renewed in the Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act (HR2755). This legislation introduced by Congressman Ron Paul in June, 2007 would kill the Federal Reserve Act and would then phase out the Federal Reserve altogether one year after the bill becomes law...

The American Prospect

John McCain has every right to be angry. He should have beaten George W. Bush in 2000. He lost to the money and smears of a lesser man, and then had to watch that man occupy the most historic presidency of modern times. Imagine McCain, a man who has spent his life thinking about war and honor and duty and sacrifice, observing Bush exhort us to shop after 9/11. What must he thought of that moment? … But the world changed on John McCain. The Republican brand is shot. The threat of terrorism has receded from the public imagination. Economic insecurity has come to occupy center stage. … And so it is that George W. Bush now looks like he will beat McCain twice. McCain will have lost to the ruthless aptitude of Bush’s campaign in 2000, and to the inadequacies of his presidency in 2008. It must be a wrenching realization...

Boston Globe

It’s over. John McCain still hasn’t told the country why he should be president. He has talking points. He is against taxes, earmarks, and pork. But he can’t knit what he opposes into a coherent economic philosophy that would inspire voters to get behind him in the final days of this presidential campaign. He has an inspirational life story. But in this campaign, he never connected his biography to his presidential ambition, and he never told voters how it would shape a McCain administration and make him a better president than his opponent. McCain has long years of political experience, exactly what Democrat Barack Obama lacks. But McCain is unable to explain why his experience makes him better able to lead the country...

How is it, that with a prolonged war, costing close to $1 trillion, no new taxes have been raised?

Just as the Bush regime’s wars have been used to pour billions of dollars into the pockets of its military-security donor base, the Paulson bailout looks like a Bush regime scheme to incur $700 billion in new public debt in order to transfer the money into the coffers of its financial donor base. The US taxpayers will be left with the interest payments in perpetuity (or inflation if the Fed monetizes the debt), and the number of Wall Street billionaires will grow. As for the US and European governments’ purchases of bank shares, that is just a cover for funneling public money into private hands...

csmonitor.com — The U.S. government's extraordinary effort to rescue the banking system may have pulled America's economy back from the brink, but it comes at a cost — helping to push an already bloated deficit up to an estimated $1 trillion for this fiscal year. That would be a record in today's dollars — and would represent the highest level of federal red ink as a share of the overall economy of any US budget since the 1940s. As a result, future presidents may have to rein in spending and raise taxes to pay down that debt. If they don't, foreign lenders at some point could scale back their purchases of U.S. debt, sending interest rates soaring.

Folgen der Spekulationskrise: Harte Zeiten für die Armen in Deutschland! Trotz alledem: "Hartz IV"- Regelsatzerhöhung Jetzt!

Kommentar von Reinhold Schramm vom 15.10.08 bei scharf links http://scharf-links.de/57.0.html?&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=2639&tx_ttnews[backPid]=56&cHash=07df41befd

Zitat zum Thema

„Bedarfsgemeinschaften

Berlin: Im Zuge der Finanzmarktkrise hat die Bundesregierung kurzfristig das Hartz IV-Gesetz geändert. Danach haben alle betroffenen Banken ab sofort Anspruch auf unbegrenzte Leistungen ohne ALG-Antrag. Wie Bundeskanzlerin Merkel auf einer Pressekonferenz heute bekannt gab, können sogenannte Bedarfsgemeinschaften bei der Fusion von insolventen Banken gebildet werden und dadurch Hilfe in besonderen Lebenslagen sowie Kleidergeld für die Bankenvorstände anfordern. Dabei ist es nicht entscheidend, ob Hypothekenbanken und Landeszentralbanken zusammen in einem Bett schlafen oder sich eine Zahnbürste teilen, sondern nur wie sie das Geld Ihrer Kunden an den Geldbörsen verspielt haben. Banken, so die Bundeskanzlerin weiter, gehören nach einer aktuellen Armutsstudie inzwischen zu den Ärmsten der Armen. Es ist für Deutschland daher vor allem eine moralische Frage, ihnen großzügig unter die Arme zu greifen. Als oberster Fallmanager für betroffene arme Banken wurde der Vorstand der Deutschen Bank, Josef Ackermann eingesetzt.. Dieser prüft künftig sachlich und rechnerisch, wie tief der Fall einer Bank ist und welche Mittel für den Fall eingesetzt werden. Die Bundesregierung bittet an dieser Stelle alle restlichen ALG-Empfänger in Deutschland um Verständnis, daß sie bis zur Behebung der Bankenkrise und Weiteres auf ALG-Leistungen verzichten müssen.“

Es beinhaltet ein bundesweites Adressverzeichnis mit Rechtsanwälten, Beratungsstellen, Erwerbslosen- und Sozialhilfeinitiativen und als ganz neues Angebot: Institutionen und Personen die Ämterbegleitung anbieten. Behördenbegleitung wird immer notwendiger damit die Betroffenen vom Amt nicht eingeschüchtert werden. Hier ist es notwendig diese zu institutionalisieren. Also das diese flächendeckend von Beratungsstellen, Wohlfahrts- und Sozialverbänden, Sozialengagierten, Initiativen angeboten wird. Dahingehend wollen wir mit dem Adressverzeichnis eine Grundlage schaffen. Behördenbegleitung kann angeboten werden, Betroffene die diese Benötigen können im Adressverzeichnis anfragen. Hier sind die Beratungsstellen und Initiativen gefragt, dahingehende Angebote zu entwickeln. Um auch sozial engagierte Einzelkämpfer in die Behördenbegleitung einzubeziehen haben wir uns ausgedacht, dass wir von diesen eine „Kompetenzbestätigungserklärung“ einer im Verzeichnis eingetragenen Organisation haben möchten um so halbwegs "Garantien" zu haben, dass diese Einzelkämpfer auf die Menschheit losgelassen werden können.

BENGEWORTH residents have stepped up their campaign against the installation of a phone mast in St Peter’s Church and created a website for people to object.

Concerns have been raised that not enough people know about the proposal for four Vodafone antennas placed behind window panels on the church tower.

Up until now it had only been advertised in the church but now the Chancellor of the Diocesan Registrar’s office has said a public notice must be put in a local newspaper.

Once published people will have two weeks to object to the plans.

Worried residents already aware of the move to install a G3 transmitter in the clock tower are doing all they can to stop it going ahead.

Crooks and Liars

10/14/08

As we are witnessing, the conservative movement is in shambles now and the only thing they can do is spew racist hatred out into the world and hope it sticks to their audience in droves. And how is the conservative right going to make sure race is all you can think of when you think of the name Obama? How about by making the case that blacks in general are lazy, angry, and engaged in a 3 decades old plot to train black children as militants against the US? It’s those scary black terrorists again. Don’t think anyone would actually SAY that? Think again. Listen to it in Rush Limbaugh’s own words...

The enduring foolishness of racial politics

Acton Institute
by Anthony B. Bradley

10/15/08

With only a few weeks to Election Day, racial politics has reared its pathetic head as pundits attempt to decipher poll numbers and audience comments at political rallies. It seems silly to imagine that adults in America may vote along racial lines but it should come as no surprise. Many people on the ideological margins of society vote irrationally. In fact, voting along racial lines says less about racism than it does about the lack of mature civic responsibility among voters who are indifferent to the nation’s common good...

Olbermann: McCain, Latest Pander Plan

Keith Olbermann, MSNBC Countdown: "During the warm-up act by a Red Meat Congressional Candidate aptly named Chris Hackett, Hackett mentions Obama and a Palin audience member shouts 'Kill Him.' And Gov. Palin, as usual, does nothing about it says nothing to these thugs and psychos. She may not have heard this one. It is impossible to believe that by now she has not heard about the other ones. Her silence is deafening. Just as, Sen. McCain, you have done nothing when violence has been asserted. Correction. You have done one thing."

War Hero or War Criminal?

By Robert Richter

I will never forget how stunned I was when Gen. Telford Taylor, a chief U.S. prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials after World War Two, told me that he strongly supported the idea of trying the U.S. pilots captured in North Vietnam as war criminals - and that he would be proud to lead in their prosecution.

Henry Hazlitt on the bailout

Ludwig von Mises Institute
by Scott A. Kjar

10/15/08

Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson needs to change his reading list. Instead of reading the balance sheets and income statements of the failing banking industry, he needs to read Henry Hazlitt’s classic book Economics in One Lesson. It will cost Paulson far less than the $700 billion that he is spending on the bailout, and he might just learn a little economics in the process...

Business as usual

If I had a nickel for every time someone described the government’s bailout of the financial industry with that adjective, I could have bailed out Wall Street myself. Tragically, parts of the bill Congress passed earlier this month weren’t unprecedented. In fact, they constitute a pattern for the Bush administration. Even more tragically, many of these sections showed all the staying power of an incumbent politician as Congress and the White House maneuvered, deleting this and amending that among 451 pages few of the voting congressmen could possibly have read...

George Monbiot, The Guardian UK: "As we goggle at the fluttering financial figures, a different set of numbers passes us by. On Friday, Pavan Sukhdev, the Deutsche Bank economist leading a European study on ecosystems, reported that we are losing natural capital worth between $2 trillion and $5 trillion every year as a result of deforestation alone. The losses incurred so far by the financial sector amount to between $1 trillion and $1.5 trillion."

Worries about the economy came to the fore. Many people fear that corporations - and by extension their workers and shareholders - will face harder times in the months ahead."

R. Jeffrey Smith, The Washington Post: "When Karl Rove's office requested special help for beleaguered Republican congressional candidates in the months before the 2006 elections, the head of the Office of National Drug Control Policy jumped to the task. Director John Walters carried half-million-dollar grants to news conferences with two congressmen and a senator, earning a top Rove aide's accolade of "superstar" after the election."

Report: Taxpayers Paid for GOP Politicking in 2006 Elections

Marisa Taylor, McClatchy Newspapers: "The White House dispatched cabinet members and other agency officials to more than 300 events nationwide to help Republican candidates in the run-up to the 2006 midterm elections, according to a House of Representatives committee report. Taxpayers paid for more than half of the events, the report said."
