From India to Israel, Brazil to Bangladesh, Chile to Russia, no nation will escape the economic fallout and few will escape the political consequences.

Frank Joseph Smecker and Derrick Jensen, Truthout: 'With an entire planet being slaughtered before our eyes, it's terrifying to watch the very culture responsible for this - the culture of industrial civilization, fueled by a finite source of fossil fuels, primarily a dwindling supply of oil - thrust forward wantonly to fuel its insatiable appetite for 'growth.' Deluded by myths of progress and suffering from the psychosis of technomania complicated by addiction to depleting oil reserves, industrial society leaves a crescendo of atrocities in its wake.'

Der aktuelle UN-Bericht 'Abschließende Betrachtungen des Ausschusses über wirtschaftliche, soziale und kulturelle Rechte' kritisierte die Sozialpolitik der Bundesregierung. Insbesondere wird bei den Hartz IV Gesetzgebungen darauf hingewiesen, die Zumutbarkeitsregeln ('jede zumutbare Arbeit annehmen') und die 'unbezahlte gemeinnützige Arbeit' die Vertragsbedingungen der Vereinten Nationen verstoßen. Der aktuelle UN-Bericht 'Abschließende Betrachtungen des Ausschusses über wirtschaftliche, soziale und kulturelle Rechte' in Deutschland - Überprüfung der Berichte der Vertragsstaaten nach Artikel 16 und 17 der Vereinbarung (E/C.12/DEU/CO/5) kann hier http://www.dielinke-westsachsen.de/fileadmin/westsachsen/dokumente/E.C.12.DEU.CO.5-DE_DIE_LINKE_WS.pdf herunter geladen werden.

Hartz IV wird ständig geändert

Ständig werden die Hartz IV Gesetze und Verordnungen geändert. Es vergehen keine sechsWochen, ohne dass sich Betroffene und Behördenmitarbeiter mit einer neuen Gesetzeslage befassen müssen. Galt eine Regelung vor einigen Wochen noch als gültig, kann es morgen schon wieder ganz anders aussehen. Während Erwerbslosen-Initiativen die ständig neuen Drangsalierungen sowie die systematischen Unterdeckungen der ALG II-Regelleistungen kritisieren, plädiert das Vorstandsmitglied der Bundesagentur für Arbeit, Heinrich Alt dafür, die Neuregelungen zu bündeln und erst in größeren Zeitabständen umzusetzen.

Laut einer Studie der Gemeinnützigen Gesellschaft für Verbraucher und Sozialberatung (GVS) erhalten Hartz IV Bezieher zu wenig finanzielle Hilfen für Stromkosten. Vielfach müssen Betroffenen draufzahlen. Weiter lesen:

Freedom's Phoenix
by Stephen Lendman

Military spending affects debt, interest rates, jobs, and investment. While defense related employment increases, more productive sectors lose out, resulting in a net overall macroeconomic loss. Also, while military infrastructure grows, public infrastructure and investment spending suffer, creating what some call an 'infrastructure deficit,' markedly increasing in the last decade to fuel America's war machine...

For months, the pundits and Washington think-tank know-it-alls have been in a tizzy: who do these unwashed peasants think they are? But of course we?ve got to raise the debt ceiling -- after all, what about the 'full faith and credit' of the United States? Don?t these denizens of flyover country realize they don?t have a choice in the matter? And now, with unmistakable finality, Wall Street has spoken in the form of Moody?s and S&P, the bonds rating agencies, which are threatening to downgrade US bonds if Congress fails to raise the limit. This should give the ordinary American a clue as to what is at stake here, and who is on what side: it?s the Washington insiders and Wall Street versus the people of the United States -- and the stakes are the fate of the nation...

Koch Brothers, ALEC and Their Corporate Allies Plan to Privatize Government

Beau Hodai, In These Times: "On February 25, 2011, Florida State Representative Chris Dorworth (R-Lake Mary) introduced HB 1021. Given the similarities between HB 1021 and a rash of like-minded bills in states across the country, including Wisconsin, on March 30 a public records request was sent to Dorworth's office seeking copies of all documents pertaining to the writing of HB 1021, including copies of any pieces of model legislation the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) may have provided."

GOP Dogma on Taxes, Spending and Revenue vs. the Facts

Robert Borosage, The Campaign for America's Future: "Conservatives say they are prepared to blow up the economy by not lifting the debt limit if that is what it takes to avoid raising taxes on the rich - even to avoid closing loopholes that have hedge fund billionaires paying a lower tax rate than their chauffeurs. Nonsense. First, neither tax hikes nor spending cuts should take place until the economy gets going. Finally, this basic conservative article of faith is simply not supported by evidence."

'Without which the United States will default'

In fact, neither party intends to cut spending in 2011, or 2012, or 2013. Instead, the current potlatch measures which side will promise deeper 'cuts' to take effect in eight or 10 years. In the political world, this is the equivalent of promising to cut spending sometime after the Martians land, or when continental drift creates a land bridge between Honolulu and Tokyo, whichever comes first...
