Reckless and Wanton Conduct of Oil Companies

Video

Laura Flanders, GRITtv: "The oil companies' conduct in the Gulf of Mexico are the 'equivalent of getting drunk on a fifth of liquor, driving 80 miles an hour through a school zone and killing a child,' says Mike Papantonio, Ring of Fire radio host and attorney representing Gulf residents in their lawsuit against BP. But despite such conduct, BP wants to keep drilling, claiming it'll cost jobs if they don't keep pumping out oil."

I'm an American. I live in a country - nay, an empire! - that insists on destroying itself. I'm part of the generation of decline.

We all know about TARP, the Troubled Asset Relief Program, which spent $700 billion in taxpayers' money to bail out banks after the financial crisis. - But it turns out that that $700 billion is just a small part of a much larger pool of money that has gone into propping up our nation's financial system.

The Real Economy is Jobs and Paychecks

By Robert Reich

Many big American companies have been showing profits because they're doing ever more business in China while cutting payrolls at home. American consumers aren't buying much of anything because they've lost their jobs or are worried about losing them, and are still trying to get out from under a huge debt load (the latest figures show more consumer debt delinquent now than last year and a surge in personal bankruptcies).

Richest Lawmakers Grew Wealthier as Economy Faltered

By Rachel Rose Hartman

The rest of the country is still struggling with high unemployment amid a sluggish-at-best economic recovery -- but the wealthiest members of Congress are in high cotton. Indeed, the top 50 wealthiest lawmakers saw their combined net worths increase last year.

Drowning in Debt: US Students Helpless to Pay Off Education

By Russia Today

A ticking time bomb of American debt. Over $830 billion are owed by college students in the US with $3 thousand more added on every second. The most traditional financial baggage for Americans was credit card debt. For the first time, debt belonging to college students has over taken that number one spot.

The Picture of Erik Prince

AntiWar.Com
by Kelley B. Vlahos

09/14/10

Why compare Erik Prince, founder, owner and former CEO of Xe Services, a.k.a. Blackwater Worldwide, with the fictional villain Dorian Gray? Because while Gray was in one sense an allegory for the corruption of Victorian England, so Prince is a parable for post-9/11 America and the Global War on Terror. Prince, of course, is a mortal man, not a literary device. He cannot belie the lines on his once boyish face by conveying them to a painting locked in his attic. He has, however, spent the last decade as the beneficiary of our own voracious but mishandled appetite for war. He has grown in wealth — in power and in coin — while the United States, like the ugly portrait hidden away, bears the grotesque scars of its elaborate financial and moral sacrifices...

Dahr Jamail, Truthout: "If someone broke into your house, pinned down your loved ones and began pouring poison down their throats, would you stop that person? What if someone poured crude oil all over your crops and livestock? Wouldn't you try to stop them from doing it? Pointed questions like these come from a man named Derrick Jensen. They provide a lens through which to view the havoc that corporate capitalism is wreaking on our planet. They are meant to jolt us into the awareness that we are watching life on earth annihilated. They are also meant to challenge us into thinking about what form our resistance to this should take."

Devona Walker, AlterNet: "The American middle class has been hammered over the last several decades. The black middle class has suffered to an even greater degree. But the single most crippling blow has been the real estate and foreclosure crisis. It has stripped black families of more wealth than any single event in U.S. history. Due entirely to subprime loans, black borrowers are expected to lose between $71 billion and $92 billion."
