-- Okay, I've toggled on Afghanistan. Even if we win the war we will lose our shirt in a country even more corrupt than our own. It's time to go home, but the defense manufacturers are surely keeping up their campaign contributions to make sure that doesn't happen. This is going to be a hard nut to crack.

-- And I've toggled back to favor Mark Neumann as Governor. Yea, his position on single-payer and campaign reform is not ideal (actually, they stink), but when push comes to shove he is an honorable man and I think he will do the right thing if the right bill lands on his desk. I don't think Scott Walker will and I don't think Tom Barrett has a chance in hell of getting elected (thanks to Obama).

-- Stock Market Control? Yea, the Feds must physically delay the micro-second computerized trading on the stock market. It represents about 70% of trades and has caused massive dips and instability, which eats into 401(k)'s and retirement accounts. Thanks Fat Cats, but no thanks. We don't want your software engineers calling the shots.

-- "10 spy suspects pleaded guilty and will be deported to Russia, which in turn will release four prisoners to U.S." Being forced back to Russia could be appropriate punishment after all.

Health Care

Health News Florida: Whistleblower's Complaint on WellCare Health Plans Unsealed
June 27, 2010

Summary: The four-year old complaint of a Florida whistleblower against the state's largest Medicaid HMO contractor has been unsealed. Among shocking allegations, the complaint includes that the company "rewarded employees who dumped hundreds of sick newborns and terminally ill patients from the membership rolls, thereby pumping up profits by millions of dollars." The complaint also "describes a company that embraced fraudulent accounting as a business model, eventually stealing between $400 million and $600 million from Medicare and Medicaid programs in several states, perhaps most of it from Florida."

The complaint was released publically by a federal judge "after learning that the U.S. Attorney's Office was discussing settling the case ... for $137.5 million."

Garin Decides to Sit This One Out

Kenosha, Wisconsin, July 11, 2010 - Paulette Garin, 2008 Democratic Congressional Candidate, who had been contemplating a 2010 run in Wisconsin's 1^st District, announced today that she is "sitting this one out."

"First and foremost, I thank the wonderful people who have supported and encouraged me."

Garin was informed that 1^st CD Executive Board of the Democratic Party, in what she considers an 11^th hour move to save face, has apparently chosen to rally around and support Board Member, John Heckenlivey, as their candidate for Congress. Through emails and phone calls, Garin learned that the Board, contrary to the long standing policy of not siding or acting on behalf of one candidate over another met Saturday, July 10, and chose to organize a last minute drive to assist Heckenlively in collecting over 1,000 signatures by the Tuesday filing deadline.

"The irony about all of this is that after over a year of conducting a search for a moneyed candidate they anoint John at the last minute who intends to run the very kind of grassroots campaign I asked them to consider all along."

"While I am disappointed that the party took so long to embrace the idea of a grassroots campaign, the good news is they finally appear motivated to take measurable action. Still, it is impossible for me to perceive most of the leadership in a serious manner. Therefore, I am sitting this one out so that the focus of the next few months is on defeating Paul Ryan and not the dysfunctionality of the Democratic Party."

"I wish John the best of luck."

Please take a moment to vote for David Gill in the Democracy for America Grassroots All-Star poll. First-round voting ends July 16. Dr. Gill must be in the Top 10 to move on to the final round! Currently, he stands at #29. Together, we can show how strong grassroots support is for our candidate. Vote, and then pass this email along to your friends around the country.

Dr Gill is a supporter of HR676, and this will help him move forward in his run for congress.

The Greatest and Worst Presidents in History

A new Siena poll of 238 presidential scholars ranks the top presidents in American history: Franklin Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.

"Teddy Roosevelt had, more than any other president the 'right stuff', and tops the collective ranking of a cluster of personal qualities including imagination, integrity, intelligence, luck, background, and being willing to take risks. Lincoln, according to the experts, demonstrated the greatest presidential abilities while FDR ranks first in overall accomplishments."

The bottom five: Andrew Johnson, James Buchanan, Warren G. Harding, Franklin Pierce and George W. Bush.

Restoration of Emergency Unemployment Compensation Act - Vote Passed (270-153, 10 Not Voting)

The House approved this bill to further extend eligibility for extended federal unemployment insurance for laid-off workers through November 30. The bill, which would also make these changes retroactive to June 2, now heads to the Senate, where its future is not clear.

Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner Jr. voted NO......send e-mail or see bio

Leave it to Mr. Compassionate Conservative... or better, strategic planning. The more voter unhappiness in November the greater are his chances for re-election. Isn't he a nice guy?

We're in a Recession Because the Rich Are Raking in an Absurd Portion of Wealth

By Robert Reich, The Nation

Wall Street's banditry was the proximate cause of the Great Recession, not its underlying cause. Even if the Street is better controlled in the future (and I have my doubts), the structural reason for the Great Recession still haunts America. That reason is America's surging inequality.

Consider: in 1928 the richest 1 percent of Americans received 23.9 percent of the nation's total income. After that, the share going to the richest 1 percent steadily declined. New Deal reforms, followed by World War II, the GI Bill and the Great Society expanded the circle of prosperity. By the late 1970s the top 1 percent raked in only 8 to 9 percent of America's total annual income. But after that, inequality began to widen again, and income reconcentrated at the top. By 2007 the richest 1 percent were back to where they were in 1928--with 23.5 percent of the total.

The 80-20 rule, politicians and CEOs

20% of CEOs are bottom-feeders, yet control 80% of our politicians!

By Jack E. Lohman

Not all CEOs are bad guys. Easily 80% of them invested their own blood, sweat and tears starting their own company from scratch, risking everything they had and providing good jobs to the vast number of Americans. They should be admired, and deserve every bit of salary they can afford to give themselves.

But 20% of CEOs are bottom feeders -- interlopers -- and the 80% suffer because of it. Some never started anything, yet gained their position because they became members of the good-old-boy network of CEOs that sit on each others' Boards. They vote $10 million compensation packages for their buddies because the shareholders and taxpayers pay the bill, and they usually hire an outside "independent compensation consultant" to provide legal cover.

Nor are all politicians bad guys, but the ratio is reversed. Power and fame attracts them, though they claim otherwise. Easily 80% are bottom feeders seeking to expand their personal wealth over the best interests of the constituents they are supposed to serve.

The 20% of CEOs seek to own the 80% of politicians so they can implement and control, and they find that acquisition one of the easiest they've ever made. The Pols are glad to hop aboard because they share the booty they've made possible through their writing and voting for and against laws and deregulations... like the 1999 repeal of the Glass-Steagall act that trashed the financial world and the nation's economy, all to benefit the bankers.

Sorry, but this comparison is apt: Even 80% of our nation's convicts look down upon the 20% who are child molesters and murderers -- the bottom-feeders of that community.

It bears repeating:

"There is only so much growth that we can squeeze out of GDP to satisfy the Fat Cat appetites for further wealth. The rest must come from other people's wealth; their houses, their jobs, their 401(k)'s and retirement plans, and their kids' schooling." (Source)

_____________________________________

Disclosure: Until retirement 6 years ago I was a CEO (I like to think in the 80% bracket). I started my 25-year-old business in my basement and grew it to $6M and 70 employees in four states, and I had only one shareholder to rip off. Me. I had my family house on the line and sometimes went without a paycheck to make payroll.

At one point I thought I'd lost it; I had to lay off a nurse, the only layoff in 25 years. But I was able to hire her back two weeks later and we kept growing.

Wow, what a difference from today's dilemma.

So I'm critical of today's 20% of CEO interlopers and the bankers who have ripped off the public, but more because they are stealing from my kids and grandkids than anything else. I *DO* understand personal motivation and I also understand unfettered greed. One of them I like.

But I wonder why the 80% of good CEOs tolerate the other 20% not only leaving the profession with a bad name, but also allowing them to help trash the economy as they have.

Only a 100% political turnover will prevent US and state bankruptcy!

The D's and R's are corrupt and must all be fired...

By Jack E. Lohman

We know the Fat Cats want to own everything they can't acquire legitimately, but where are the heads of our voters?

The liberals want only democrats to be elected and conservatives want only republicans... even when both political sides are corrupt as hell and trading our country for campaign bribes!

We must throw them all out; at least those that do not vote for the Fair Elections Now Act. Even if a change in leadership were to occur, national stability is more important than a corrupt government.

Neither the voters on the Left nor the Right fully understand the long term effects of our corrupt political system, and how every issue is affected. The Fat Cats have gotten stronger with each new congress and now totally own our politicians, who in turn will trash our jobs and economy as long as the campaign cash keeps rolling in. They now only pass or defeat laws to satisfy their campaign contributors rather than the voters.

That's called an oligarchy, not a democracy, and a civilian rebellion is likely next. Take the food from their tables and Americans will rise up. They'll get shot at by our own government troops and some will be killed, but that's what happens when the political system fails.

If you haven't seen this chart on inequality, you must. We are at the exact same point we were at in 1929, just before the crash. This time too, our politicians are very complicit. If you favor privatization, you ought to be tickled pink. We now have a privatized congress; how are you liking it so far?

There is only so much growth that we can squeeze out of GDP to satisfy the Fat Cat appetites for further wealth. The rest must come from other people's wealth; their houses, their jobs, their 401(k)'s and retirement plans, and their kids' schooling.

The top hedge fund managers are pulling in salaries of several billion dollars per year, and this is not coming from GDP growth. It's coming from low and middle-income nest eggs when government bailouts occur.

Jobs that will never come back...

Companies outsource our jobs for $1 per hour so they can pocket the rest, thanks much to NAFTA and CAFTA and the politicians they bribed to pass the laws. These jobs are not coming back, so our staying a first-world country is at stake.

Our politicians are co-conspirators, enabling the wealth transfer because they share in the booty. Their salaries are paid by taxpayers but their campaigns are funded by the Fat Cats, and that virtually guarantees their job and increases their own source of wealth.

They are taking bribes to do the wrong thing at the right time. They should go to jail but they've twisted the laws to make the taking of political bribes legal. If the political campaigns were instead paid by the taxpayers, the politicians would do what is in the best interest of the country.

They could pass meaningful reforms and the country would flourish. But all of our wealth would rise proportionately and the wealth divide would narrow. That's what the Fat Cats dislike, so they bribe our politicians to keep the status quo.

This duo is stealing from my kids and grandkids. But so are they stealing from the families of my conservative friends, and I don't understand their tolerance of this corrupt system.

I agree with the Right that government is too big, that unions are part of the problem, and that bureaucrats are over-paid. But they must agree that politicians are corrupt and we must -- together -- put a stop to the political bribery that is trashing our nation's economy.

FEMA Workers Ran Up $247,100 in 'Improper Purchases' on Government Credit Cards--Including $4,318 in 'Happy Birthday' Cards
(CNSNews.com) -- One employee used the Federal Emergency Management Agency credit card to spend $4,318 in "Happy Birthday" gift cards. Two other FEMA officials charged the cost of 360 golf umbrellas -- $9,000 -- to taxpayers. Other FEMA officials used funds allocated for disaster relief in Oklahoma to buy 19 portable ceramic heaters for the office. In all, $247,100 in "improper" expenses was made to the FEMA credit cards, according to a report by the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General.

Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) has named Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) Porker of the Month for blocking the Obama administration's attempts to eliminate funding for Constellation, a NASA program that is chronically behind schedule and over budget. Initiated under former President George W. Bush, Constellation aims to put man back on the moon by 2020. However, the Government Accountability Office, the Congressional Budget Office, and the Review of Human Spaceflight Plans Committee led by former aerospace executive Norm Augustine have criticized NASA's management of the program. Sen. Shelby, whose state is home to Radiance Technologies, a NASA contractor and major Shelby campaign contributor, co-sponsored an amendment to the fiscal year 2010 emergency war supplemental bill that would shield Constellation from proposed budget cuts. "Americans are being forced to tighten their belts and the economy is limping along, but that doesn't deter the porkers in Congress, like Sen. Shelby, who are still spending and rewarding government contractors orbiting the program. Sen. Shelby's actions just perpetuate the notion that politicians in Washington are living on a completely different planet," asserted CAGW President Tom Schatz. For launching pigs into space and contributing to the black hole of deficit spending, CAGW names Sen. Shelby June Porker of the Month. Read more about the Porker of the Month.

Obama's 'Presidency in Peril' or 'Failed President?'

12 deadly signs Wall Street's 'Conspiracy of Weasels' killed Obama's reforms

By Paul B. Farrell, MarketWatch

ARROYO GRANDE, Calif. (MarketWatch) -- Financial reform is D.O.A. Window dressing. What's next? An implosion? Yes, a depression. Dead ahead.

Scott Adams warned of this trend in "Dilbert & the Way of the Weasel." Forget competition. No, capitalism breeds monopolies, it's a "financial system designed to transfer money from lesser weasels to greater weasels. Someday, if everything goes according to plan, one supreme weasel will have all the money and everyone else will be his or her domestic servant."

Jobs data point to more uncertainty

Phil Izzo & Paul Vigna analyze today's jobs report and what it says about the state of the economic recovery. Plus, Naftali Bendavid on why today's unemployment numbers are a problem for Democrats.

Until then, 99% of America's wealth remains concentrated in Wall Street's "Conspiracy of Weasels." They know only one thing, blindly "follow the money. If you took the same amount of money" traded daily on the NYSE, "sealed it in drums and dropped it in the ocean, 4 billion weasels would drown just trying to be near it."

When Obama signs the so-called reform bill, blow a goodbye kiss to our last great hope for true reform: Obama failed. True reform will never happen. Wall Street gains more power fighting every new reform bill, making massive investments in lobbyists. Witness their rapid return to power since near-bankruptcy in 2008.

From Taxpayers for Common Sense

End Dependence Day

With apologies to Thomas Jefferson:

When in the course of fiscal events, it becomes necessary for the people to dissolve the political bands which have connected corporations with the treasury ... We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all entities are created equal, and they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, which does not include a right to subsidies ... That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter it...

Now, more than 230 years after the Declaration of Independence was signed, we have created a culture of corporate subsidy dependence. Sure, the corporate tax rate is 35%, higher than most of the Western world, but after all the credits, deductions, subsidies, and loopholes, the effective corporate tax rate is actually much lower. Some lawmakers have proposed lowering the rate and eliminating much of the special interest breaks that litter the tax code.

US taxpayers' Afghan aid money buys rich Afghans' Dubai villas

You already might have heard that it costs the United States $1 million for each solider per year in Afghanistan, to cover the cost of the soldiers' benefits, troop transports and other material. What you might not have heard is that your hard earned taxpayer dollars are also being used to buy well-connected Afghans posh villas in Dubai.

Those Who Profited From Deficit Spending Should Be Focus of Fiscal Commission

Jun 30, 2010 -- KZeese

Testimony of Kevin B. Zeese, Executive Director, Prosperity Agenda
June 30, 2010

The United States can be fiscally responsible and meet the urgent necessities of the American people by stopping corporate welfare to concentrated industries, taxing the wealthiest that profited from three decades of tax breaks and reigning in weapons and war spending. Expanding Medicare to cover all Americans will save money and improve health. And, Social Security is essential to most Americans and is a contract between the government and the people that should not be broken.

Solving America's fiscal problems requires reviewing the priorities of government, its spending and sources of funds. It is an opportunity to re-make government so that it meets the necessities of Americans in a cost-effective way while stopping taxpayer subsidies to concentrated corporate interests and finding new sources of more equitable government funding.

The Government Pay Bonus

Private employees toil 13½ months to earn what federal workers do in 12.

By ANDREW G. BIGGS AND JASON RICHWINE

Pay cuts, layoffs and the highest unemployment rates in decades have reignited a debate over the relative treatment of public and private workers. USA Today reported in March that federal workers earn substantially higher wages than private sector employees who work the same types of jobs.

White House budget chief Peter Orszag responded that these pay differences merely reflect the superior skills of federal workers, not government largess. Adjusting for education and experience, he said, federal workers make about the same salaries as private workers. Mr. Orszag also correctly pointed out that public and private job categories aren't directly comparable, so we shouldn't necessarily expect them to have the same pay.

See complete article HERE

Give me a break, Mr. Orszag. Most of the government employees I've interacted with couldn't get a job in the private world. They've made privatizing popular.

Give me a Break!

THE OLD MAN AND THE CORVETTE (from my son Tim)

A SENIOR CITIZEN DROVE HIS BRAND NEW CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE OUT OF THE

DEALERSHIP...TAKING OFF DOWN THE ROAD, HE FLOORED IT TO 80 MPH, ENJOYING

THE WIND BLOWING THROUGH WHAT LITTLE HAIR HE HAD LEFT.

"AMAZING," HE THOUGHT AS HE FLEW DOWN I-494, PUSHING THE PEDAL EVEN MORE.

LOOKING IN HIS REAR VIEW MIRROR, HE SAW A STATE TROOPER BEHIND HIM, LIGHTS

FLASHING AND SIREN BLARING.

HE FLOORED IT TO 100 MPH, THEN 110. SUDDENLY HE THOUGHT, "WHAT AM I DOING?

I"M TOO OLD FOR THIS," AND PULLED OVER TO AWAIT THE TROOPER'S ARRIVAL.

THE TROOPER WALKED UP TO THE CORVETTE, LOOKED AT HIS WATCH AND SAID, "SIR,

MY SHIFT ENDS IN 30 MINUTES, TODAY IS FRIDAY. IF YOU CAN GIVE ME A REASON

FOR SPEEDING THAT I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE, I'LL LET YOU GO."

THE OLD GENTLEMAN PAUSED. THEN SAID, "YEARS AGO, MY WIFE RAN OFF WITH A

STATE TROOPER, I THOUGHT YOU WERE BRINGING HER BACK."

"HAVE A GOOD DAY, SIR, " REPLIED THE TROOPER.

Screwed: The Undeclared War Against the Middle Class - And What We Can Do about It

By Thom Hartmann

Stephen Lendman: "Those in power today want to destroy what the Founding Fathers believed in, created, and handed down for all those who followed them to preserve. In its place, the current ruling class wants to replace that vision with an imperial presidency supported by a submissive Congress and compliant courts that's no different than the repressive monarchy and aristocracy the American Revolution overthrew in the first place."

Disclosure: I am a center-right Republican that (regrettably) voted for Bush twice. But the Republicans look worse here because they (are/were) in power and the party blocking reform. Next year it may be the Democrats taking center stage. Were I to have a political choice it would be for a strong third-party reform candidate in all seats. I do not like our very costly and ineffective duopoly. Jack Lohman
