CDU-Vordenker Friedrich Merz fordert einen Pflichtarbeitsdienst für Hartz IV Bezieher und die faktische Abschaffung des Sozialstaates

Laut einer Meldung des Boulevard-Blattes "BILD" forderte CDU-Vordenker Friedrich Merz auf einer Podiums-Diskussion einen "Arbeitsdienst für Hartz IV Bezieher". Merz war von 2000 bis 2002 Vorsitzender und von 1998 bis 2000 sowie von 2002 bis 2004 stellvertretender Vorsitzender der CDU/CSU-Bundestagsfraktion. Heute ist Merz Partner der internationalen Rechtsanwaltskanzlei Mayer Brown LLP und Aufsichtsratsmitglied von zahlreichen Konzernen. Lesen Sie weiter:

Bundesregierung plant höhere Hartz IV Kürzungen

Die Bundesregierung will das Gesamtbudget für "Leistungen zur Eingliederung" und "Verwaltung" (SGB II/ Hartz IV) offensichtlich deutlich stärker kürzen als bisher angenommen. "Im Bereich der Grundsicherung für Arbeitsuchende sollen die Ausgaben für Verwaltungskosten und Leistungen zur Eingliederung schrittweise bis 2013 auf 8 Mrd. Euro reduziert werden; das entspricht etwa den Ausgaben im Jahr 2006." (Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Soziales) Dies wären drei Milliarden Euro weniger als die im Bundeshaushalt 2010 veranschlagten insgesamt 11 Milliarden Euro. Lesen Sie weiter:

Terror chief defends targeting rebel US cleric

Associated Press

06/30/10

A top counterterrorism official on Wednesday defended the government’s right to target U.S. citizens perceived as terror threats for capture or killing, citing the example of the renegade al-Qaida-linked cleric Anwar al-Awlaki. Michael Leiter, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, would not say whether al-Awlaki is on a U.S. targeting list, but a senior U.S. counterterrorism official has previously confirmed that the cleric is among terror targets sought to be captured or killed...

FDP weiter auf dem Holzweg der Umverteilung

"Die FDP ist weiter auf dem Holzweg der Umverteilung von unten nach oben", erklärt Gesine Lötzsch zu den Plänen der FDP die ermäßigten Mehrwertsteuersätze teilweise aufzuheben. Die Parteivorsitzende und stellvertretende Vorsitzende der Fraktion DIE LINKE weiter:

Die FDP hält offensichtlich auch nach ihrer Krisen-Klausur an der Umverteilung von unten nach oben fest. Die FDP will unter dem Deckmantel der Steuervereinfachung weiter Steuern für ihr Klientel senken (Stichwort: Möwenpick-Steuersenkung) und für die Mehrheit der Menschen die Steuern anheben. Wer an der Mehrwertsteuerschraube dreht, will die Situation der Menschen verschlechtern, die schon jetzt zu wenig Geld in der Tasche haben. Wer z.B. für Lebensmittel die Steuern anheben will, der setzt den sozialen Frieden aufs Spiel. Jetzt geht es aber darum, die Menschen zur Kasse zu bitten, die die Krise verursacht und daran noch verdient haben. Doch genau das will die FDP verhindern. Das ist nicht nur unsozial und ungerecht, sondern auch ökonomischer Unfug. Eine Anhebung der Mehrwertsteuer würde die Konjunktur weiter schwächen.

Oil Well Blowout May Never End

By Washington's Blog

The likelihood of a complete collapse is difficult to assess, in part, engineers and legislators say, because BP hasn't shared enough information to evaluate the situation. But a handful of clues suggest that the company is concerned. On Friday, BP spokesperson Toby Odone acknowledged that the 45-ton stack of the blowout preventer was tilting noticeably, but said the company could not attribute it to down-hole leaks.

BP Has Built An Artificial Island To Get Around Offshore Drilling Ban In Alaska

BP plans to begin drilling two miles under the sea just miles away from a delicate wildlife reserve in Alaska. The company will get around the deep-water moratorium by constructing an artificial island -- 31 acres of gravel -- and registering as an onshore rig. Not exactly the safest operation, reports Rolling Stone.

Colonialism, Obama-style

AntiWar.Com
by Justin Raimondo

Everyone is shocked — shocked! — that the indiscretions of Gen. Stanley McChrystal failed to provoke a general reevaluation of our course in Afghanistan, rather than merely a review of who’s in charge of it. I find this shocking. After all, as I recall, Obama ran on ramping up the war on the Afghan front, and even threatened to invade Pakistan, two campaign promises he has kept. Furthermore, he is committed to prosecuting the war in Afghanistan and now Pakistan on a scale that even the nuttiest neocons never dared suggest, a ‘nation-building’ project that is nothing less than the construction of a US colony, or satrapy, from scratch...
