CALLING MITT ROMNEY AND BAIN CAPITAL VULTURES IS AN INSULT TO VULTURES

2012-01-15T16:25:00.000-08:00

HERE IS A BIT OF AN EXCERPT FROM A GREAT ARTICLE EXPLAINING JUST WHAT BAD VENTURE CAPITALISM REALLY IS AND WHAT MIT ROMNEY AND HIS PALS AT BAIN CAPITAL WERE REALLY DOING (FOR THEIR OWN PROFIT) TO WORKING CLASS PEOPLE...

"...Vultures take meat that is already dead and complete the final loop in the cycle of life.

Bain took a company that had already been restructured and was surging in profits and cash. There was never any interest by Bain to restructure KB Toys, that had already been done.

Bain purchased KB Toys simply to raid its cash, and they did so during a time when the rest of the country was undergoing a period of reviewing the founding principles of the country.

To call what Bain did to KB Toys as 'Vulture' Capitalism is an insult to Vultures..."

Keystone XL Back on Obama’s Desk

Bill McKibben, Op-Ed: “You have patiently and firmly explained to the president for the last six months why this pipeline is a bad idea—and by ‘you’ I mean the twenty top scientists who sent a letter explaining the climate impacts, the ten Nobel Peace Prize laureates, the dozens of tribal leaders who signed the Mother Earth Accord, the 1253 people who got arrested, the 12,000 who circled the White House, the 500,000 who filed public comments on the plan, the many many more who sent letters and emails and made phone calls to the White House and Congress.” READ | DISCUSS | SHARE

Richard D. Wolff | Europe’s (Goldmann Sachs) Debt Crisis Deepens

Richard D. Wolff, Op-Ed: “Europe’s debts — and social tensions swirling around them — are clearly problems. Governments collapsing in Greece, Italy, and Spain show that, among other signs of the obvious. The rating companies’ downgrades of European debt are rather like downgrading the likelihood of good weather while the rest of us are already rushing to close the windows against pouring rain. Still worse are the usual media reports and discussions of the Fitch action.” READ | DISCUSS | SHARE

Teachers Struggle to Feed Hungry Students in Order to Teach

Aisha Fukushima, Op-Ed: “When students are hungry, they come to class agitated and unable to focus. Often it is hard to complete even the most basic academic exercise or follow classroom directions. Other students get extremely sleepy or might refuse to do the work entirely. Although hunger is one of many factors that plays into this behavior, it has become obvious to many of my colleagues that students without proper nutrition can pose very real challenges to our ability to create a functional learning environment.” READ | DISCUSS | SHARE

IF IT AINT BROKE BREAK IT - Boehner

2011-12-21T12:24:00.000-08:00

If It Ain’t Broke, Break It

Rep. Keith Ellison, Op-Ed: Last week, Speaker Boehner described the Senate deal for extending middle-class tax cuts and unemployment benefits as acceptable. This past Saturday, eighty-nine senators—including the vast majority of Republican Senators—voted for the bipartisan compromise to extend unemployment benefits and a middle-class payroll tax cut for two months. No sooner did the Tea Party House Republicans begin to fear that this good faith compromise just might succeed than they stepped forward and smashed the deal. Within a few hours, Speaker Boehner went from saying the Senate compromise was “a good deal” and “a victory” to saying, “It’s become clear that what the Senate did pass is going to cause job creators all kinds of problems.”

Defeat of the XL Pipeline Is a Signal Achievement

Peter Rothberg, Video Statement: “Anyone despairing over the immense power of the corporate sector to dominate world affairs should watch this video documenting the power that grassroots protest can still muster in the face of mass injustice. To me, the successful effort to forestall the XL Keystone Pipeline was the signal achievement in a year of significant activist efforts. Thank you to the 1,253 nonviolent, direct action heroes who took arrests to underscore the fervid opposition to the ecologically devastating project.

"Get a job"

By Rob Beschizza at 12:29 pm Monday, Nov 21

To see why "Get a Job" is so mean-spirited, one only has to compare the unemployment rate in the late 1960s (3-4 percent) to 2011's (9-10 percent, and much higher for the young).

Bill Clinton’s Legacy of Denial <- architect of financial catastrophy

2011-11-14T08:43:00.000-08:00

ROBERT SCHEER POINTS OUT TO ALL WHO WILL LISTEN HOW BILL CLINTON WAS NEVER A HERO, NOR A "GOOD" DEMOCRAT. HE SOLD US ALL DOWN THE RIVER FOR FEEL GOOD AND PROFIT. THE TECH BOOM WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WITH OR WITHOUT THIS SLICK CRIMINAL:

"...never once refers to the home mortgage collapse and other manifestations of Wall Street greed that he enabled as president...

...Endorsing the Republican agenda of financial industry deregulation, reversing New Deal safeguards, President Clinton pursued policies that in the long run created more damage to the American economy than any other president since Herbert Hoover, whose tenure is linked to the Great Depression...

With an all-time high of 44 million Americans living below the poverty line, Clinton once again brags of his success in ending the federal welfare program...

In signing the Financial Services Modernization Act, which broke down the barrier between high-rolling Wall Street investment firms and consumer banks carrying the deposits of ordinary folk...

So much for the “modernizing” that Clinton had bragged about.

A year later a variation of that same word appeared in the title of the Commodity Futures Modernization Act, which Clinton signed and which exempted from government regulation all of the collateralized debt obligations and credit default swaps that would later prove so toxic...

As with so much in the Clinton record, the former president remains in deep denial over having any culpability for his misdeeds...."
