Jobless Report Tends to Confirm Tepid Recovery
|
5.3.2010 |
Daily Kos |
| It was the same story as last month in the lead up to today's release of the Bureau of Labor Statistics jobs report : A couple of weeks of mixed economic news. The report clocked in this morning with the jobless numbers well below the consensus predicted by experts surveyed by Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal : a seasonally adjusted loss of 36,000 nonfarm jobs for February. The headline unemployment rate held steady at 9.7%. U6, the alternative measure that counts underemployed workers and a portion of those out of work Americans too discouraged to look for a job, rose to 16.8%.

| Like Rome Before the Fall? Not Yet
VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN complains that he is being driven crazy because so many people are betting on America’s demise. Reports of it are not just exaggerated; they are, he insists, ridiculous. Like President Obama, he will not accept “second place” for the United States. Despite the present crippling budget deficit and the crushing burden of projected debt, he denies that the country is destined to fulfill a “prophecy that we are going to be a great nation that has failed because we lost control of our economy and overextended.”
Mr. Biden was referring in particular to the influential book “The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers” by Paul Kennedy, a British historian who teaches at Yale. Published in 1988, ... |

Profiting from the Inside? Friedmanism at the Fed
|
26.2.2010 |
CommonDreams.org Headlines |
| by Greg Kaufmann Ongoing Congressional investigations into the AIG bailout have put the
incestuous and murky relationship between the Federal Reserve and Wall
Street in the spotlight--and put Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and
Fed chair Ben Bernanke in the hot seat. Calls for Geithner's resignation
regularly reverberate inside the Capitol, and Bernanke's recent
reappointment was opposed by thirty senators, including Republican John
McCain and independent Bernie Sanders. read more |

Bill McKibben | Why It’s the O.J. Moment of the 21st Century
|
25.2.2010 |
Truthout.com |
| Twenty-one years ago, in 1989, I wrote what many have called the first book for a general audience on global warming. One of the more interesting reviews came from the Wall Street Journal. It was a mixed and judicious appraisal. "The subject," the reviewer said, "is important, the notion is arresting, and Mr. McKibben argues convincingly." And that was not an outlier: around the same time, the first president Bush announced that he planned to "fight the greenhouse effect with the White House effect." read more |
