Ravi Batra, Truthout: ''Suppose I were to tell you that for the past two years the federal government has been spending nearly $1.5 million to create one job.... The trillion dollar question is this: where is it all going, when the annual average wage is no higher than $50,000? Obviously, it must be going to the so-called 1 percent group or what the Republican Party calls the job creators, i.e., the mostly male CEOs and other executives of large corporations.''

Lena Groeger, ProPublica: ''TSA body scanners continue their steady advance into our nation s airports, but another agency security initiative begins well before travelers ever reach a checkpoint. PreCheck, the TSA s nascent pre-screening program, allows some pre-approved frequent travelers to make it from check in to take off in record time, if they give the government access to lots of information in return.''

Dispatch from Detention

Seth Freed Wessler, ColorLines: ''Immigration detention centers claim their share of criminal abuses ? and rampant sexual assault by guards?. But for many detainees, the worst part of awaiting expulsion is not the acute trauma inflicted inside the jails. Most carry with them the unhealed wounds of violence from life on the outside that the humiliating baseness of life inside these jails reopens.''

'There are two losers: the US army and Marine Corps. US military contractors are the main winners in this new war for the shrinking US budget. The military industrial complex will be the main beneficiary of the troops downsizing and extension of the military s big ticket high tech items," says the military analyst.

Santorum: Iranians' 'Principle Virtue' To Die For God

Rick Santorum: Republican candidate for Religious Bigot in Chief

Authority!
by Timothy J Taylor

01/05/12

Calling Rick Santorum an ultra-right-wing religious extremist is putting it mildly. Next to him, statist tyrants like Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich seem like timid moderates. That being the case, I don t envision Santorum coming close to capturing the Republican Party nomination, much less the presidency, but stranger things have happened in the course of history...
