The LPDC on Ward Churchill All of us who surround those who were involved in AIM
since the early 70's have known it was coming, or rather
“they” would come for them again. There is no shock in
the recent campaign to discredit Ward Churchill. Most of
all, we are sure Mr. Churchill himself knew it was coming
sooner or later....

Medical bills cause more than half of US personal bankruptcies Debt due to medical bills is the largest single cause of personal bankruptcies in the United States, a newly published study on the Health Affairs web site reported. About half of those filing bankruptcy in 2001 did so because of medical bills resulting from illness or injury. What is most unexpected about the data is that most individuals or couples who went bankrupt were not part of the 45 million uninsured. Nearly 76 percent had health insurance at the start of their illness....

US budget slashes social spending to pay for war and repression The budget released by the Bush administration Monday provides for $2.57 trillion in spending, but two thirds of this falls under programs already mandated by Congress, including Social Security, Medicare, unemployment compensation and the payment of interest on the burgeoning national debt. The main focus of the budget document is so-called discretionary spending, which requires annual appropriations by Congress....

It is a monumental fraud, aimed at concealing fiscal reality and usurping decisions on spending that, under longstanding US constitutional procedures, are reserved to Congress rather than the executive branch....

Jobs and wages picture remains bleak for millions in US The employment and general economic situation remained dismal for millions of American workers in January, amid signs that the so-called recovery may be slowing. While the official unemployment rate declined to 5.2 percent, payrolls increased by only 146,000, considerably less than predicted. Manufacturing jobs fell by 25,000. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report, released February 4, also revised downward the number of jobs created in December, from 157,000 to 133,000....
