Hard Times A-Coming
The Bush Dollar Trap
By Dave Lindorff
The first government response to America's sinking
economy was denial. We were told as recently as a
month ago by administration officials and Wall Street
charlatans that the economy was robust and that
there would not be a recession. Now we are told
that the economy is in trouble, but that the government
is taking decisive action to shore it up. Continue

North-American Montetary Integration: Here Comes the Amero
By Andrew G. Marshall
The introduction of the Amero is an integral aspect
of the process of creating a North American Union,
much like the European Union. This process is being
undertaken through the implementation of the Security
and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP),
which was signed by the leaders of the three North
American governments in March of 2005. Continue

A Recession, If It Comes, Could Be Worse Than Those of Recent Past
By JUSTIN LAHART
The U.S. has suffered recessions only twice in the past
quarter century, and both were short and mild. But
there are good reasons to fear that the looming recession,
if it arrives, could be worse. Continue

Is This The Big One?
By Mike Whitney
On Monday, fears of a US recession spilled over into
Asian markets sending stocks tumbling. Indexes were
hammered across the board in what turned out to be

A Stimulus to What?
Delusions Prevail in Washington
By Paul Craig Roberts
US job growth in the 21st century has been confined
to low-pay domestic services. During 2007,
waitresses and bartenders, health care and social
assistance, and wholesale and retail trade,
transportation and utilities accounted for 91%
of new private sector jobs.Continue

Dr. King's Prophetic Call to Conscience and Action Today
By Marian Wright Edelman
With the economy slipping into recession and more
than 160,000 American fighting men and women
in Iraq combat zones and no end to the war in sight,
these are trying times for our nation. Unemployment,
underemployment and poverty are afflicting more
and more American families who face rising costs
or food, health care, gas, heating oil and other
expenses. Continue

Good Jobs Are Where the Money Is
By Bob Herbert
Big business and the federal government have worked
hand in hand to squeeze the daylights out of working
people, stripping them (in an era of downsizing and
globalization) of much of their bargaining power while
ferociously pursuing fiscal policies that radically
favored the privileged few. Continue

A Time to Break Silence
By Rev. Martin Luther King
By 1967, King had become the country's most
prominent opponent of the Vietnam War, and a
staunch critic of overall U.S. foreign policy, which
he deemed militaristic. In his "Beyond Vietnam"
speech delivered at New York's Riverside Church
on April 4, 1967 -- a year to the day before he
was murdered -- King called the United States
"the greatest purveyor of violence in the world
today." Continue

Bush's “Stimulus” Cash Giveaway; “Gentlemen, Start The Helicopters”
By Mike Whitney
The White House is now in full-panic mode. In fact,
the falling stock market has the administration so
worried that Bush will deliver a speech later today that
will lay out the details of a “stimulus package” designed
to rev-up flagging consumer spending. Continue

George of Arabia: Better Kiss Your Abe ‘Goodbye’
By Greg Palast
Bend over, pull out your wallet and kiss your Abe
‘goodbye.’ The Lincolns have got to go - and so do
the Hamiltons and Jacksons. Those bills in your
billfold aren’t yours anymore. The landlords of our
currency - Citibank, the national treasury of China
and the House of Saud - are foreclosing and evicting
all Americans from the US economy. Continue

Worries That the Good Times Were Mostly a Mirage
By DAVID LEONHARDT
The recent financial turmoil has many causes, but they
are tied to a basic fear that some of the economic successes
of the last generation may yet turn out to be a mirage.
That helps explain why problems in the American
subprime mortgage market could have spread so quickly
through the world’s financial system. Continue
