Least government better, no government best

BRUSSELS — Belgium hit a new milestone Monday — 450 days without a government — but still no one appears to be in any big hurry to resolve the situation. Talks to form a new Belgian government have remained fruitless since the June 13, 2010 general elections, leaving the country without a government for 450 days, so far. Europe's financial crisis and feeble economic growth may scare governments from the Arctic Circle to the Mediterranean Sea, but in Belgium it is a sideshow. Talks on a new Belgian government, which have been going on since the June 13, 2010 election, were at a standstill Monday for a third day running. Why? Because Green Party negotiator Jean-Michel ...

As we get older we sometimes begin to doubt our ability to "make a difference" in the world. It is at these times that our hopes are boosted by the remarkable achievements of other "seniors" who have found the courage to take on challenges that would make many of us wither. Harold Schlumberg is such a person: QUOTE FROM HAROLD: "I've often been asked, 'What do you old folks do now that you're retired?' Well, I'm fortunate to have a chemical engineering background, and one of the things I enjoy most is converting beer, wine and vodka into urine. Then I piss on a photo of Obama! I do it every day, and I really enjoy it." Harold is an ...

The Rich Are Raking It in, So Where Are the Jobs? Monday 5 September 2011 by: Donald Kaul, OtherWords.org | Op-Ed Ah, Labor Day, the holiday when we honor Organized Labor. You know, unions and stuff like that. Yes, there'll be picnics and speeches detailing the enormous contribution unions make to our nation's prosperity. Political candidates will extol the virtues of the American worker and… Wait minute. I think I've picked up the wrong script here. This is an old one — so 20th-century. Once upon a time, Americans celebrated the labor movement on Labor Day. But that was a long while ago, B.R. (Before Reagan). Most Americans have long since ceased viewing life ...

Obama's betrayals offer lessons we can't deny Former Obama supporter has surrendered his disillusions. Danny Schechter Last Modified: 02 Sep 2011 06:52 Journalists are not supposed to have political opinions, and yet we all do. Our "biases" are usually disguised, not blatant or overtly partisan, and can be divined in what stories we cover and how we cover them. Even 'just the fact's ma'am,' journos for big media have to decide which facts to include and which to ignore. Our outlooks are always shaped by our worldviews, values and experience, not too mention the outlets we work for. Which brings me to the challenge of seeking truth and recognising it ...

Ten miles. Sixteen kilometers. That’s how deep I got into Texas before being asked to leave. Allow me to explain. I’m in the middle of a two-week drive across the United States. I am stopping along the way at small towns and big cities to talk to people of all walks of life about the wide-ranging impact (or not) of 9/11 on American life. As we’re driving though the panhandle of Oklahoma, and as small towns whizz by outside the window, I noticed the local high schools seemed to be preparing for Friday night football. And the only thing better than Friday night high school football in Oklahoma is Friday night high school football in Texas. “Great,” I say. ...

“Labor Day” should be renamed “Corporation Day” or “War Day”

It is Labor Day weekend, 2011, but labor has nothing to celebrate. The jobs that once gave American workers a stake in capitalism have left and gone away. Corporations in pursuit of near-term profits have moved labor’s jobs to China, India, Indonesia, Taiwan, South Korea and Eastern Europe. Labor arbitrage, that is, the substitution of foreign labor that is paid less than its productivity for American labor, has enriched Wall Street, shareholders and corporate CEOs, but it has devastated American employment, household incomes, tax base, and the outlook for the US economy. This Labor Day week-end’s job report, announced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on Friday, September ...

Bullying small and medium businesses, sending armed goons to American factories, confiscating private property, closing down production and harassing business owners and their employees; a curious strategy for nurturing domestic job creation, wouldn’t you say? The above strategies might seem ludicrous, even downright criminal, to we laypeople, but to government officials, it’s “all in a day’s work.” Take, for example, the latest case of The Feds vs. Gibson Guitars. Actually, it’s not even a case yet, not officially...but that didn’t stop armed agents from the US Fish and Wildlife Service (these guys have guns?) from raiding two of Gibson’s ...

The disaster known as Netanyahu Rather than apologising for Israel's killing of nine Turkish activists, the prime minister dug in his heels. MJ Rosenberg Last Modified: 02 Sep 2011 17:54 E Turkey has expelled Israel's ambassador as relations continue to deteriorate [Reuters] Well-handled, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. Rather than apologise to the Turkish government for the deaths of nine of its nationals on the Mavi Marmara, you dug in and now your ambassador to Ankara has been expelled. At this rate, the once critical Israeli-Turkish relationship will soon be finished, leaving Israel with no friends in the region except shaky Jordan. The peace treaty with Egypt is holding, ...

Supporter praises Romney for creating jobs with his mansion upgrade Posted on 09.2.11 By David Edwards Categories: Biz/Money, Featured Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has taken some heat for reportedly planning to quadruple the size of his $12 million California beachfront mansion, but at least one supporter is touting the jobs created by the massive upgrade. “I want to tell you this,” a supporter told Romney during the opening of his Tampa headquarters Friday. “You created more jobs with your house than Barack Obama has in the last three and a half years.” “That is true,” Romney replied. The Romney campaign has argued that the ...

Normally, such a speech would be an important event. It would be studied by voters and foreign leaders alike, each searching for clues about where the world's most powerful nation might be heading. But in that ...

In a preview of a forthcoming PBS Frontline documentary, John Rizzo, one of the top attorneys for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), claims that President Barack Obama has “endorsed” nearly all of the controversial Bush administration secret warfare programs. “I was part of the transition briefings of the incoming Obama team, and they signaled fairly early on that the incoming president believed in a vigorous, aggressive, continuing counterterrorism effort,” Rizzo said. “Although they never said it exactly, it was clear that the interrogation program was going away. We all knew that. “But his people were signaling to us, I think partly to try to assure ...

Disaster Relief Economics In a way, I may be wasting my time doing any kind of rational analysis of Eric Cantor’s demand that any disaster aid in the wake of Irene be offset by spending cuts elsewhere. Cantor is, of course, being totally hypocritical; where were the demands for offsets to the cost of invading Iraq? Still, it may be worth talking about just how bad an idea this is in terms of basic economics — and in this case, regular economics, not fancy-schmancy macro. Think of the government budget as involving tradeoffs similar to those an individual household makes. On one side, there are all kinds of things the government could be doing, from dropping freedom bombs to ...

Rick Perry’s Jobs Plan: ‘Free’ The ‘Wall Street Investor’ By Alex Seitz-Wald on Aug 30, 2011 at 5:40 pm Texas Gov.
