Dean Baker, Truthout: "This is deficit-fest week with President Obama's deficit commission scheduled to have its big public kickoff on Tuesday, followed by an all-day affair sponsored by the Peter G. Peterson Institute the next day. If the deficit hawks succeed, everyone should be really really scared about the deficit by the end of the week and just dying to cut Social Security and Medicare for the sake of our grandchildren."

04/26/10

As the country finds itself the most divided it’s been in years, the man who promised to unite us is trying to patch the same coalition that propelled him into office back together as the 2010 midterm elections approach. Obama released a video to supporters, specifically singling out ‘young people, African-Americans, Latinos, and women who powered our victory in 2008.’ These are demographics that Obama, ever the serial campaigner, has largely ignored since taking office. … They are also groups that did not make a showing in the elections in Virginia, Massachusetts and New Jersey, forcing many of us in the punditry world to question whether or not Obama be an effective tool for anyone in his party, other than himself...

Corporatism equally loved by left and right

Libertarian News Examiner
by Garry Reed

05/11/10

In a free society every free marketeer is held accountable by every other participant in the market — shopper, buyer, user, investor, consumer, stockholder — because there is no coercive government protecting the marketeer’s profits and choking off competition. That’s the role of corporatists. Corporatism exists where government-created and subsidized corporate entities and politicians each have a hand in the other’s pocket...

More American Expatriates Give Up Citizenship

"Before, no one would dare mention to other Americans that they were even thinking of renouncing their U.S. nationality. Now, it is an openly discussed issue."

Somewhere above earth is America's latest spaceship, a 30ft craft so classified that the Pentagon will not divulge its mission nor how much it cost to build.

Hypersonic Cruise Missile: America's New Global Strike Weapon

The mission: Attack anywhere in the world in less than an hour. But is the Pentagon's bold program a critical new weapon for hitting elusive targets, or a good way to set off a nuclear war?

The Shadow Banking System Blew Up

By Mike Whitney

Do you understand the root-cause of the financial crisis? Not many people do, which is why congress' attempt to regulate the system will probably fail and there will be another crisis in couple of years.

Yes, We Could ... Get Out! Why We Won't Leave Afghanistan or Iraq

Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch.com: "Yes, we could. No kidding. We really could withdraw our massive armies, now close to 200,000 troops combined, from Afghanistan and Iraq (and that's not even counting our similarly large stealth army of private contractors, which helps keep the true size of our double occupations in the shadows). We could undoubtedly withdraw them all reasonably quickly and reasonably painlessly."
