Hartz-IV-Haushalte bleiben auf Unterkunftskosten sitzen

''Im vergangenen Kalenderjahr zahlten Hartz-IV-Haushalte rund 630 Millionen Euro für laufende Kosten der Unterkunft und Heizung (KdU) aus »eigener Tasche«. Während die tatsächlichen Aufwendungen rund 15,5 Milliarden Euro betrugen, wurden von den SGB-II-Trägern nur gut 14,8 Milliarden Euro anerkannt. Die Differenz mussten die Betroffenen damit faktisch aus ihrem Regelbedarfs-Budget decken, das eigentlich zur Sicherung des Lebensunterhalts vorgesehen ist?'' Beitrag von Johannes Steffen vom 22. Juli 2013 im Portal Sozialpolitik http://www.portal-sozialpolitik.de/home/hartz-iv-kosten-der-unterkunft

Antrag abgelehnt: Mutter mit Baby friert ohne Heizung

Eine 21-jährige Frau aus Goch in Nordrhein-Westfalen sitzt derzeit mit ihrem vier Monate alten Baby und dem Vater des Kindes im Kalten. Obwohl die Frau rechtzeitig einen Antrag auf Hartz IV gestellt hat, zahlt das Jobcenter nicht. Die Folge: kein Geld für Heizung und Warmwasser. Die Zeitung ?WAZ? sprach mit der jungen Frau über die unzumutbare Situation... Weiterlesen:

Regelbedarfunterdeckung durch steigende Strompreise

Die steigenden Stromkosten bedeuten für einkommensschwache Haushalte wie Geringverdiener, Sozialhilfe- und Hartz IV-Bezieher eine große finanzielle Belastung. Viele sind nicht mehr in der Lage, ihre Stromrechnung zu bezahlen, da diese nicht meist deutlich über dem Betrag liegt, der im Regelsatz für Energiekosten enthalten ist. Wohlfahrtsverbände weisen bereits seit einiger Zeit daraufhin, dass die Leistungen zur Grundsicherung angepasst werden müssen, zumal das Bundesverfassungsgericht dies vom Gesetzgeber eindeutig fordert. Dennoch passierte bislang nichts. Weiter:

Murder by joystick

Authority!
by Timothy J Taylor

So the U.S. government readily admits that it targets with bombs the funerals of its earlier assassination victims. That is the commission of an act of terror by any rational definition. The murderers have to know that innocent civilians, including wives, children and other relative would be attending those funerals. No wonder one in five of the victims of U.S. drone strikes are totally innocent of any crimes against Americans...

Washington s silence on Iraq

Antiwar.com
by Kelley B. Vlahos

10/15/13

Violence has escalated in Iraq at a rate not seen since 2008 when the final Strategic Framework and Security Agreement between Bush and Maliki was signed. Nearly 6,000 Iraqis were killed since the beginning of the year, 490 in October, as of Sunday. Sectarian violence on both sides is washing over Iraqi towns and cities like an epidemic, including the North, where Kurdistan had once been known as the safest place in Iraq. Washington, which for years claimed the invasion, in part, was to foster a democratic ally in the region, has been curiously silent on why this is happening and what it means for Iraq, with much of the mainstream news following suit...

Die Wohnung wird zum ''teuren Kulturgut''

Bertelsmann-Studie: In 60 der 100 größten Städte in Deutschland haben einkommensschwache Familien nach Abzug der Miete im Schnitt weniger Geld zur Verfügung als den Hartz-IV-Regelsatz.

Zwischen Himmel und Hölle: Wenn das Wohnen die einen arm und einige andere sehr reich macht

''Das Thema Wohnen ist derzeit mal wieder auf dem Weg an die Spitze der für die Menschen besonders wichtigen Themen, dies allerdings aus völlig unterschiedlichen, teilweise absolut gegenläufigen Gründen: Die einen sehen in Immobilien die einzige noch verbliebene Kapitalanlage, infolgedessen fließen große Summen in den Wohnungsmarkt. Sie wollen ihr Geld in Sachwerte investieren und natürlich auch gerne eine Rendite erzielen, die oberhalb der wertfressenden Inflationsrate. Andere hingegen kämpfen in den Regionen, vor allem in den Städten, wo sie arbeiten (müssen), mit massiv steigenden Mieten, was das verfügbare Haushaltsbudget erheblich mindert?'' Artikel von Prof. Dr. Stefan Sell vom 22. Juli 2013 http://www.aktuelle-sozialpolitik.blogspot.de/2013/07/22.html


Bezahlbare Mieten statt Rendite

''Die Mieten in der Bundesrepublik werden immer teurer. In München und in den meisten Großstädten müssen bei Neuvermietungen im Bestand inzwischen 14 bis 15 EUR Nettokaltmiete bezahlt werden. Beim Erstbezug im Neubau kostet die Nettokaltmiete gar 16 EUR und mehr. Dazu kommen noch die Betriebs- oder Nebenkosten, die z.B. in München bei durchschnittlich 1,60 EUR pro qm liegen. Die Miete für eine 80 qm Wohnung kostet so etwa 1200,- bis 1400,- EUR, ohne Heizungs- und Stromkosten. Normalverdienende Familien müssen inzwischen ein Drittel oder die Hälfte ihres Nettoeinkommens für die Miete ausgeben. Zu den höchsten Mietpreissteigerungen in den letzten vier Jahren kam es in Hamburg mit plus 25,9 %, in Berlin (plus 25,4 %), oder auch in Freiburg (plus 21,4 %) oder Weimar (plus 20 %). In einigen Regionen stehen Hunderttausende Wohnungen leer, im ganzen Land rund 3,5 Millionen. Aber die Wohnungen liegen dort, wo keine gebraucht werden, weil die Menschen keine Arbeit finden und deshalb wegziehen. Jetzt ist Wahlkampfzeit und alle Parteien, die die derzeitigen investorenfreundlichen Mietergesetze beschlossen haben, versprechen plötzlich die Einführung von ''Mietpreisbremsen''. Grundlegende Änderungen, die der Wohnungs- und Grundstücksspekulation einen Riegel vorschieben würden, sind von ihnen allerdings nicht zu erwarten. Im folgenden Beitrag geht es nicht um Reparaturmaßnahmen des kapitalistischen Wohnungsmarktes, sondern um die Ursachen der ungebremsten Mietpreisspirale und darum, daraus die notwendigen Schlussfolgerungen zu ziehen, die eine soziale Wohnungspolitik ermöglichen würden?'' Beitrag von Claus Schreer vom Juni 2013 beim isw (pdf) Er entwickelt darin drei wesentliche Voraussetzungen für eine soziale Wohnungs- und Mietepolitik: die Begrenzung der Mietpreise; einen echten sozialen Wohnungsbau; und die Überführung von Grund und Boden in öffentliches Eigentum. http://www.isw-muenchen.de/download/mieten-cls-201306.pdf

Wir erinnern in diesem Zusammenhang an einen nach wie vor aktuellen Beitrag im LabourNet-Archiv:

Hartz IV reicht nicht für die Miete

Im letzten Jahr mussten Haushalte, die auf Hartz IV-Leistungen angewiesen sind, rund 630 Millionen Euro für die Unterkunftskosten von den Regelleistungen zahlen. An sich sollen die Kosten der Unterkunft (KdU) durch die Kommunen und Städte gezahlt werden. Weil aber die vorgegebenen Sätze nicht ausreichend sind, müssen vielerorts Hartz IV Bezieher zusätzliche Zahlungen leisten...

Überwachungssoftware XKeyscore

Neues US-Spähprogramm enthüllt. Gegen XKeyscore ist Prism harmlos

Überwachungssoftware XKeyscore: NSA liest E-Mails, Facebook-Chats und Browserverläufe mit

''Es geht um Milliarden Datensätze, Millionen Menschen und eine Verliererin: die Privatsphäre. Neue Enthüllungen zeigen, wie NSA-Mitarbeiter angeblich auf E-Mails, Facebook-Chats und sogar Browserverläufe zugreifen können, auch in Echtzeit. Es werden so viele Daten gesammelt, dass der Speicherplatz auf den NSA-Servern nicht ansatzweise ausreicht?'' Artikel von Pascal Paukner in Süddeutsche online vom 31.

XKeyscore oder die totale Informationshoheit. Die NSA ''sammelt nahezu alles, was ein Nutzer im Internet macht''

''Edward Snowden hatte doch noch etwas im Vorrat, wie dies Guardian-Journalist Glenn Greenwald bereits angekündigt hatte. Die weiteren Enthüllungen zum Lausch- oder Spionageprogramm XKeyscore, die der Guardian nun veröffentlicht, stellen einen Höhepunkt dar und entlarven den amerikanischen Wunsch nach der Dominanz über den ''freien Informationsfluss''. Das Programm übertrifft offenbar Prism oder das britische Tempora bei weitem und macht klar, dass die US-Geheimdienste den nach dem 11.9. gehegten Plan nach einem weltweiten und umfassenden Schnüffelsystem, der Total Information Awareness, nie aufgegeben hatten, obgleich der Kongress dem Ansinnen das Geld entzogen hatte?''

Sending broken men back into Afghanistan

Most of us cannot understand the pain associated with post-traumatic stress in any visceral way, as described by this recent veteran from the Iraq War: 'My mind is a wasteland, filled with visions of incredible horror, unceasing depression, and crippling anxiety.' Now think of the veteran who wrote these words, 30-year-old Daniel Somers, being sent back into the warzone for another tour of duty. Clearly a joke, right? Not exactly...

Vom schönen Hartz-IV-Leben

Wer Vermittlungsstatistiken frisiert, grenzt aus

Es liegt am System, dass trotz des Wirtschaftsbooms in Deutschland, Millionen Menschen in der Hartz-IV-Mühle gefangen bleiben, kommentiert die Vorsitzende der Partei DIE LINKE, Katja Kipping, aktuelle Medienberichte, wonach mehr als die Hälfte der erwerbsfähigen Hartz-IV-Beziehenden dauerhaft auf staatliche Leistungen angewiesen sind.

Der Druck durch gewollte Erfolgszahlen und Vermittlungsquoten in den Jobcentern führt zur Ausgrenzung derjenigen, die weniger Chancen haben. Gefördert werden hauptsächlich die leicht Vermittelbaren. Fest zuhalten gilt zudem: Auf eine offene Stelle, die dem Arbeitsamt oder dem Jobcenter zur Vermittlung zur Verfügung steht, kommen durchschnittlich acht Erwerbslose. Frisierte Vermittlungsstatistiken und Erfolgsmeldungen, die keine sind, nutzen niemandem und grenzen aus. Wirtschafts-, arbeitsmarkt- und sozialpolitisch müssen endlich ganz andere Konzepte her. Angebote der LINKEN für Programme im öffentlich geförderten Beschäftigungssektor und zur Arbeitszeitverkürzung liegen auf dem Tisch.

Interne Weisung eines Berliner Jobcenters diskriminiert Erwerbslose

In einem Berliner Jobcenter werden Erwerbslose in bestimmte Kategorien eingeteilt, aus der sich die Priorität ihrer Betreuung ergibt, wie aus einem Dokument hervorgeht, dass der Piratenfraktion vorliegt. Demnach ist in einer internen Weisung des Jobcenters Lichtenberg von ?Querulanten? und ?Dauerkunden? die Rede. Bereits im Juni diesen Jahres ergab eine Untersuchung des Bundesrechnungshofes, dass Langzeitarbeitslose schlechter betreut werden als Erwerbslose mit guten Chancen auf einen schnellen Wiedereinstieg ins Berufsleben...
