Greece has a history of not living up to its promises, that's why the EU is taking a hard [...]

Lady Lynn Rothschild thinks We must save capitalism!

By Paul Krehbiel Oxfam's recent report documenting increasing world-wide inequality and calling on world leaders to reverse this inequality is extremely important.  Oxfam's seven point plan is very good and deserves widespread publicity and support.  Unfortunately, a significant number of world leaders that Oxfam is appealing to are very wealthy individuals with ties to the giant corporations and financial institutions of global capitalism -- the economic forces that have caused and fueled [...]

Jerry Brown Allows Frackers to Pollute Our Drinking Water

by Lauren Steiner In February of this year, the Associated Press reported that California's Department of Oil and Gas and Geothermal Regulation (DOGGR) had authorized oil companies to inject toxic fracking wastewater into aquifers that may be used as a source of drinking water or irrigation 2500 times.

by Judy Burch 600 multinational corporations drafted the TPP, giving themselves whatever they wanted. It's their power grab to bury democracy. It affects policy on many levels and covers issues unrelated to trade including fracking, food safety, healthcare, local sovereignty and the environment.  It's crucial Congress maintain its authority to oversee trade policy.  That means a thumbs down on this deal! TPP would elevate corporations to the level of nations, allowing companies [...]
