By Julianne Escobedo Shepherd

We knew it was bad, but the latest US Unemployment Report, released Friday, proves that we are in the worst slump since the 1930s. This puts it in perspective.

McJobs: Fast food career the new American dream?

Video

Three ongoing military campaigns that are costing the US a fortune give no comfort for the nearly 14 million unemployed Americans. With food stamps and a minimum wage the only hope for many, a career at McDonald's has now become appealing.

Housing prices hitting 2002 levels, unemployment still at 9 percent, private-sector job growth flat, and retail sales still struggling: these are headlines that few expected three years ago. The prevailing theory in Washington was that the recession was somehow precipitated (and therefore vaguely caused) by the crash in housing prices, and many big and small tricks were used to goose the market. But the price system has once again proven to be the greatest and most persistent practitioner of civil disobedience on the planet...

It takes a movement

Our Future Blog
by Robert Borosage

06/03/11

This is a classic 'small d' democratic moment. The economy is in deep trouble - immediate and long term. Washington is oblivious, compromised by moneyed interests, knotted by ideological divides. It will take an angry and aroused citizens' movement to demand the debate worthy of a great nation in deep trouble. The dismal jobs numbers only punctuate the reality of an economy that isn t producing sufficient jobs. The crisis is both immediate and long-term. The so-called recovery hasn t begun to recover the jobs lost in the Great Recession...

Economic Apocalypse Now

But the laws of economics are natural, not political, laws...

As Gates put it: 'America is, as the expression goes, putting 'our money where our mouth is' with respect to this part of the world - and will continue to do so,' Gates will step down on June 30. Gates said that American war weariness and debt concerns will not set the stage for a shrinking of the U.S. presence in Asia.

The debt ceiling charade

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Jacob G. Hornberger

06/03/11

Let?s face it: As I have been repeatedly predicting for the last several months, the Republicans are going to cave when it comes to the raising the debt ceiling. Republicans always cave when it comes to principle. Their caving stretches all the way back to the New Deal, when they realized that to please voters, they would have to cave and embrace the welfare-state way of life that now threatens our nation with bankruptcy...

The Bush administration had redefined war objectives in terms of 'changing the regime of an adversary state' and 'occupying foreign territory until U.S. strategic objectives are met'. The United States and the NATO have manipulated and interpreted the Security Council resolution on Libya to suit their imperial objectives.

Undermining International Law: International Law and the Problem of Enforcement

By Lawrence Davidson

It is the sad height of hypocrisy when the United States, whose leaders claim to have the secret to world salvation (both politically and economically), not only corrupts international law to target others, but simultaneously goes to extraordinary lengths to protect its own nationals from that same law.

John Lindsay-Poland, New America Media: 'Under the auspices of the drug war, the United States is returning to its historical pattern of using Central America and the Caribbean for its own military and strategic purposes. Even as a growing chorus of voices throughout Latin America argue that military responses to drug trafficking are ineffective against the narcotics trade and exacerbate existing human rights abuses and official corruption, the U.S. military presence in the region is growing.'

Max Eternity, Truthout: 'Even after the ... hip, hip, hurrah of President Obama s ordered assassination of Osama bin Laden, a cornucopia of catastrophic socioeconomic horrors still face this nation... endless war, long-term unemployment, swelling prison populations and multiple years of record-breaking home foreclosures... But they won t be here to stay if a certain brilliant, black man of prophetic word and deed can help it - namely, Dr. Cornel West. West equates America s banking elite with gangsters and deplores President Obama s choice to surround himself with their minions... This well-heeled phalanx of criminals is, in West s view, to blame for many, if not most, of Americas current ills.'

Michael Winship, Truthout: 'Give me a scandal, any scandal, and I ll show you how the corrosive influence of money on politics is at its root and makes what s bad even worse (okay, maybe not in the case of Anthony Weiner -- yet)... Citizens United and other court decisions that have unleashed a monster of unlimited and frequently anonymous private and corporate campaign cash against a nearly defenseless citizenry... The Greeks had a word for it - 'oligarchy' - political clout based on economic dominance.'

Why Washington Isn t Doing Squat About Jobs and Wages

Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog: 'The silence is deafening. While the rest of the nation is heading back toward a double dip, Washington continues to obsess about future budget deficits. Why? Republicans don t want to do anything about jobs and wages... Democrats, meanwhile, don t want to admit the recovery has stalled.... But there s a third reason for Washington?s inaction. It s not being talked about - which is itself evidence of the problem. The unemployed are politically invisible. They don t make major campaign donations. They don t lobby Congress. There s no National Association of Unemployed People.'
