$1 Trillion for Wars Makes No Sense By Any Measure

By Mary Zerkel

What is $1 trillion really worth? - What is $1 trillion worth? NPP explains it this way: if you made a million dollars a year, it would take you a million years to earn $1 trillion.

Falling off the $1 trillion cliff

AlterNet
by Robert Greenwald

05/29/10

We fell off an ugly cliff this Sunday. At 10 a.m. on May 30, all of those little cost of war counters that have been furiously spinning away on countless websites crossed the $1 trillion mark. No alarm sounded. No bell rang. But, on the day before Memorial Day, the cost of the wars in cold, hard cash followed the human cost of the Afghanistan war into a new order of magnitude...

General Petraeus's Secret Ops

The Contract from America should have focused on the separation of power

The Price of Liberty
by Robert Greenslade

05/24/10

The separation of power between the States and their federal government is the most important component of the federal system of government established by the Constitution because ALL of the powers granted to the federal government flow from this principle. Constitutionally, NONE of the powers delegated to the federal government can be invoked to change or circumvent this separation of power because the delegated powers come after the separation of power...

Obama’s war on his own “youthful irresponsibility”

Cato Institute
by Gene Healy

05/25/10

In his high school yearbook photo, President Barack Obama sports a white leisure suit and a Travolta-esque collar whose wingspan could put a bystander’s eye out. Hey, it was 1979. Maybe that explains the rest of young Barry’s yearbook page, with its ’still life’ featuring a pack of rolling papers and a shout-out to the ‘Choom gang.’ (’Chooming’ is Hawaiian slang for smoking pot.) Far be it from me to condemn our president for harmless (and amusing) youthful indiscretions. As his predecessor put it, ‘When I was young and irresponsible, I was young and irresponsible.’ But Obama’s older now, and he’s responsible for administering our nation’s drug policy...

After 16 months, U.S. troops are still in Iraq even though they were promised to be out

All’s quiet on the blogosphere front

by Sean Scallon

05/25/10

So after 16 months, U.S. troops are still in Iraq even though they were promised to be out and the war has been escalated both in Afghanistan and neighboring Pakistan but without any clear objective as to where all this escalation goes if it doesn’t succeed, or if there’s a simple strategy for success. And yet this situation, sadly, is not being protested outside of few nor really being acknowledge by many, either in the news or in the blogosphere...

Wie an andere Vulkanausbrüche scheinen sich die Bürger aber auch daran regelrecht zu gewöhnen. Sie schauen sich in der Tagesschau an, was ihnen da erneut an Besorgnis erregenden Mitteilungen über den Bildschirm flattert: Der Euro soll in schwerer Gefahr sein, also das Geld, mit dem sie tagtäglich ihr Leben bestreiten und von dem sie (falls vorhanden) etwas auf die Seite gelegt haben für die Risiken, die ein Leben in der Marktwirtschaft „so“ mit sich bringt. Zum Grübeln über das „Lebensmittel“ Geld und seine seltsamen Unarten bringt das die wenigsten. Statt dessen versuchen sie sich auf die neue Lage einzustellen, auch wenn das gar nicht geht. Sie erinnern sich an Hyperinflation und Währungsreform, kaufen Goldmünzen und fragen bei der Sparkasse nach, wie sicher ihr Geld jetzt eigentlich noch ist.

Brüderle gefährdet mit seiner ideologischen Blockadepolitik tausende Arbeitsplätze bei Opel

"Wenn Herr Brüderle nicht endlich von seinem ideologischen Turm herabsteigt, zerstört er die Grundlage tausender Opel-Familien in Deutschland", kritisiert der Parteivorsitzende der LINKEN, Klaus Ernst die Blockadehaltung von Wirtschaftsminister Brüderle für die Opelbürgschaft. Ernst erinnert daran, dass die Beschäftigten für die Opel-Rettung schon genug bluten mussten. Jetzt sei die Bundesregierung in der Pflicht. Ernst erklärt:

Die ablehnende Haltung Brüderles ist unverantwortlich und zeigt, dass er seiner Verantwortung als Wirtschaftsminister nicht gerecht wird. Er stellt sich mit seinem ideologischen Dogmatismus nicht nur gegen die Opel-Belegschaft, sondern stellt zugleich das Versprechen von Bundeskanzlerin Merkel, die sich für eine Bürgschaft stark gemacht hat, in Frage. Es stellt sich die Frage, wer eigentlich in der Bundesregierung das Sagen hat. Jetzt ist keine Zeit für taktische Spielchen. Ich fordere Frau Merkel deshalb unmissverständlich auf, von ihrer Richtlinienkompetenz Gebrauch zu machen und ihren Wirtschaftsminister in die Schranken zu weisen. Zugleich müssen die Bundesländer mit Opelstandorten unverzüglich ins Boot geholt werden. Im Gegenzug für die staatliche Bürgschaft muss General Motors zum Verzicht auf Stellenabbau, Lohnkürzungen und Standortschließungen verpflichtet werden. Wir wollen, dass künftig Staatshilfen in Belegschaftsbeteiligungen umgewandelt werden, damit die Arbeitnehmer echten Einfluss auf Unternehmensentscheidungen erhalten.

President Obama wants Congress to give him the line-item veto — that is, the power to veto specific parts of Congressional bills, rather than the whole thing. That way, supposedly, the president can just cut out the waste. … On its face, it seems like a good idea. It may cut down on useless pork like bridges to nowhere. But the suggestion that it will help control spending is laughable. … It would be nice to eliminate pork, but it’s chump change compared to the big picture. Even now, Congress and the president are pushing for $200 Billion in new spending...

Yet with literally trillions of dollars spent, the rate of unemployment hovers around 10 percent, many banks remain in a precarious state, and a meaningful economic recovery is as elusive as ever...

Our nation does not respect our soldiers by engaging in permanent war. War is grinding up our children. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have cost over 5000 US lives and tens of thousands more lives of people in those countries. Over 20% of those in our military who served in these two wars, 320,000 people, have war-related traumatic brain injuries. Suicide rates are up by 26 percent among 18 to 29 year old male veterans in the latest Veterans Administration study. Mental health hospitalizations are now the leading cause of hospital admissions for the military, higher than injuries. On any given night, over 100,000 veterans are homeless and living on our nation’s streets...

The top U.S. commander in the Middle East has ordered a broad expansion of clandestine military activity in an effort to disrupt militant groups or counter threats in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and other countries in the region, according to defense officials and military documents. The secret directive, signed in September by Gen. David Petraeus, authorizes the sending of U.S. special operations troops to both friendly and hostile nations in the Middle East, Central Asia and the Horn of Africa to gather intelligence and build ties with local forces...

Spaceship Earth: Navigators Wanted

Alyce Santoro, Truthout: "Forty-one years ago, Buckminster Fuller published his 'Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth: A Bold Blueprint for Survival that Diagnoses the Causes of the Environmental Crisis.' In it, he claimed humanity would not survive the 21st century if it continued to build an economy based on mass consumption, inequitable trade relations, short-sighted allocation of fossil based resources and lack of consideration for holistic systems."

Dan Brook, Truthout: "All we need is LOVE. There are many things and we can (and should) do to preserve and protect our environment if we want to preserve and protect life on Earth. Reducing consumption of resources, reusing products and materials, and recycling what can no longer be reused are all critical to being more sustainable. However, the most important personal thing we can each do for the environment is to fall in LOVE: Local, Organic, Vegetarian/Vegan Eating."
