Nearly one half of the world s refugees are from Afghanistan and Iraq, 3.05 million and 1.68 million, respectively. But neither the United States nor much of the developed world bears the burden of the 10.55 million refugees. Instead, Pakistan, Iran, and Syria serve as the top host countries.

The Financial Markets Best Kept Secret

Video

Ratigan, Eliot Spitzer and comedian Sherrod Small play a game of credit rating theater. There is extreme truth in this little bit of comedic fiction, including the fact that absolutely nothing has changed.

Bin Laden s Death: Pakistan TV Report Contradicts US Claim

By Paul Craig Roberts

It seems clear that under intense pressure and serious threats from the US government, the Pakistani government fell in line with the US government s claim that a commando raid had killed bin Laden.

Robert Scheer, Truthdig: 'This week, the Los Angeles Times reported on Goldman s renewed lobbying efforts in Washington aimed at watering down what remains of the promise of Dodd-Frank. True to Washington tradition, Goldman has hired Michael Paese, a former top staffer for the 'liberal' Rep. Barney Frank to head its Washington operation, which last year spent $4.6 million lobbying Congress to soften the bill, a task now made far easier with Goldman s tea party allies in the new Republican-dominated House.'

Goldman Sachs Vice President Changed Name; Now a Top Congressional Staffer

Lee Fang, ThinkProgress: 'Has Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) turned the House Oversight Committee into a bank lobbying firm with the power to subpoena and pressure government regulators? ThinkProgress has found that a Goldman Sachs vice president changed his name, then quietly went to work for Issa to coordinate his effort to thwart regulations that affect Goldman Sachs' bottom line.'

Pat Garofalo, ThinkProgress: 'During the negotiations regarding raising the nation s debt ceiling, congressional Republicans have gone to the mat to defend all manner of unwarranted tax breaks, including those for oil companies and corporate jet owners. Despite the drain on the Treasury caused by these tax breaks - and the negligible benefit they provide - Republicans have threatened to allow the nation to default on its obligations rather than abandon them. One of the tax breaks upon which President Obama has focused is a provision that allows hedge fund managers - who make billions annually - to receive a substantial tax break.'

I have made the claim for some time now that the economy is people. It s you and me trading goods and services on a voluntary basis. It s me providing you with my labor or something I have created, then you providing him with your labor or something you have created, then him providing her with his labor or something he s created and so on and so forth. This is what makes economy, so it would make sense that the economy would grow as the population grows. It would make sense that the economy would shrink as the population shrinks. It would make sense that the economy would stabilize when the population stabilizes. But this is not what has happened. I believe this is at least partially because some people have been able to manipulate the mechanisms of economy in unnatural ways for their own benefit, and therefore to the detriment of most others...

Stealing from future to continue borrowing

Cato Institute
by Jagadeesh Gokhale

07/05/11

The talks on a deal to resolve the federal debt limit problem recently ground to a halt, with neither side budging from its position. The negotiations must now be completed by those in the highest pay grades, including President Obama. But he has pledged not to increase taxes on 95 percent of Americans. That makes the withdrawal by Republican lawmakers from Vice President Biden s group a master stroke: Will the president now follow rank-and-file Democrats by insisting on tax increases? Or will he lead them to a different destination by caving to Republican demands?
