The Costs of Capitalism's Crisis: Who Will Pay?

"Austerity?" "Fiscally conservative?" both imply the people who will pay are those who produced the goods and services, not the banks and corporations that created the crisis. Sound familiar? Does it sound fair? How much more austere can you be? 

The outrage heard around the world:

I think Obama cannot punish or regulate the banks because they have bought the government. His hands are tied. It is too big of a can of worms to open let alone having to fight Republicans or politians with a buisness interest every inch of the way. It is the public who has to pissed off enough to empower the president to take command of banks@corporations. They are too greedy to stop or curtail. I think they will kill the golden goose or take us over. It will be one or the other. I wonder if it was big money that backed Obama on the understanding he never would. Yet it's the only way to get into office. That it is now the norm for any president is worrisome We need a law to stop candidates needing ALOT of money to stand for office in the first place.

Yes- that " a disturbing thought" regarding just the 1% difference in genes makes ALL the difference.So aliens don't need to have a vastly different Dna fromnus to be super-duper.
I have another disturbing thought and it sounds atheist in nature ( if other life forms are our new " gods".) And that is there is indeed life sprinkled like mushroom spores all over the universe but no matter how smart it becomes no life-form WILL EVER EVER able to travel across the massive distances involved.
( so maybe we will only get signals sent thousands of thousands of years ago just as much of the starlight we see has been travelling for 100s of thousands of years + and is no more than a dead star now...

Florence Jenkins massacres Mozart

I can't figure out if laughing or crying is the best remedy for Jenkins and politics.  

Thanks Chris Breman, I'm sharing.

Stiglitz: "Shocking" how Obama, Romney are avoiding housing crisis ...

Because of these and other financial reasons, I did not vote for Obama. He does not want to offend banks, and lets homeowners and their families suffer. Foreclosures that should not have happened results in gross offenses and no one has been prosecuted.

Joan, nicely stated - and I agree!

Atheism means being value-neutral with one specific claim, there is no evidence of god or gods. Atheism defines an idea, meaning and implication about ways one conducts one’s life.

 

Atheists and atheist organizations should not be value-neutral. I believe there is no evidence of god, that I have a right to exist and flourish, that I have a right to think and belong in a community and act to protect my rights. I am a part of a magnificent universe and am conscious of it.

 

I have a right to live in peace, without intrusion or imposition by others until and unless I want them to be part of my life. I welcome those who value expressing their ideas, and I want them part of my life. For those who would tell me what and how to think, who impose their values on me, and who perceive me as less-than they, I want nothing to do with them. For those who discount me, trivialize, put-down, or demonize me, there are 7,075,032,851 other human beings from whom I can choose my companions. 

Even as I claim these rights for myself, I claim them for all others as well.
