What Are We Waiting For? By Joel S. Hirschhorn

Obama has not defined our domestic tyranny and told us
how he will try to abolish it. Obama is no dissident or

The Old Titans All Collapsed. Is the U.S. Next?

By Kevin Phillips

The United States of 2008 is the world's leading debtor,
has by far the largest current-account deficit and is the
leading importer, at great expense, of both manufactured
goods and oil. The potential damage if the world soon
undergoes the greatest financial crisis since the 1930s
is incalculable. The loss of global economic leadership
that overtook Britain and Holland seems to be looming
on our own horizon. Continue

military-industrial complex, the big bankers and the

Student Loans Crunch Starves Greedy Colleges

By Ted Rall

Student loans are a big segment of the banking industry,
amounting to about $85 billion last year. Until recently, they
were also hugely profitable. But the credit crunch has caused
some lenders to pull out of the federal program. As a result,
the pool of money for college loans available has fallen 13 percent.

President Bush to impose martial law in response to a
terrorist “incident.” It also empowers him to effectively
declare martial law in response to what he or other federal
officials label a shortfall of “public order” – whatever
that means. Continue
