The War on Weeds
Robert C. Koehler

Today's big news stories -- the wars, the eco-disasters -- all seem to have the same gaping hole in them. This hole is lack of awareness, and its thrum, once you begin to hear it, soon becomes deafening: We can't go on like this.

Senate Passes Landmark Financial Reform Bill
Caitlin Huey-Burns

The Senate gave final approval to a 2,300 page financial reform bill after over a year of craftsmanship, concessions, and marathon debates. President Obama is expected to sign the bill, putting into law unprecedented regulations on Wall Street and protection for consumers

The Vanishing American Consumer and the Coming Trade War
Robert Reich

President Obama has vowed to double U.S. exports within the next five years. That's because exports are critical for rebooting the American economy. It's clear American consumers can't get the economy going on their own. They can't restart the jobs machine. They've run out of money and credit.

Is It Too Late to Stop Iran
Mortimer B. Zuckerman

The peril increases daily that Iran will become a nuclear power. Arab leaders are as alarmed as Israel. The West huffs and puffs, and huffs and puffs again, but is nowhere near blowing the house down. It is behaving as if it has all the time in the world. It does not. While the Iranians are enriching, the United States is hesitating

The Middle East's Private Little War
Joel Brinkley

It's not at all surprising that one of the Arab world's most senior diplomats is eager for the United States to attack Iran. The unusual part is that the diplomat said that at a very public forum. There seems to be an unwritten rule that little if anything be said in public, even though Iran and the Arab world are actually fighting a private little war. The reason for that is simple.

Restraining the Profit Itch
Robert C. Koehler

The gap between the diffuse human yearning for a decent world and the organized agenda of the corporatocracy, has never, in my lifetime, been wider. What the BP Oil Spill has yet to reach are the headquarters of corporate power and the consciences ensconced therein. The arrogance of the great capitalists remains undamaged

American Decline Is a State of Mind
Victor Davis Hanson

We are hearing of all sorts of reasons why the United States is doomed to decline. After all, America is piling up deficits at a record rate. The current recession is heading into its third year. Unemployment still hovers at nearly 10 percent. Many think the war in Afghanistan is as good as lost. The largest oil spill in American history has been gushing up from sea for nearly 80 days

When National Strategy Document Is Not the National Strategy
Paul Kennedy

What does it mean when a national government, especially a government that is always at the center of world attention like that of the United States, issues public policy documents that are supposed to explain its defense priorities and its overall global strategy? And what sense does it make to let everyone, including your enemies, know what your concerns and your plans for the future are?

Obama Immigration Speech All Words -- No Action
Andres Oppenheimer

The Making of Barack Obama
Walter Russell Mead

Who is Obama? What does he really believe? How has his quest to find and understand his place in American life shaped him and his vision for the United States? These are the questions that David Remnick, the author of Lenin's Tomb and the editor of The New Yorker, sets out to investigate in The Bridge, an intelligent and searching biography of Obama.

Forget Obama - Fear the Real State Capitalists
Ian Bremmer and Sean West

Since President Obama has taken office, a chief assertion from his critics has been that he is socialist. But there is little evidence that he wants to dramatically revise the U.S. economic system. While imprecise accusations of socialism score political points for the accusers, in listening closer to Obama's critics they seem to actually be accusing him of being a state capitalist

At Last Americans Becoming Soccer Fans
Andres Oppenheimer

Good news for those of us who love soccer and want the game to keep growing: U.S. television ratings for the World Cup have been very good so far, and many sports analysts are predicting that the United States will soon become a major soccer power.

BP Oil Spill: First, Do No Harm
Robert C. Koehler

As Planet Earth continues to hemorrhage crude oil from its wound we grope, beyond our anger and guilt, simply to imagine what damage we have done in the pursuit of human empowerment. This is bigger than BP, blameworthy though the company may be. It's a crisis of civilization, which means all of us

Value and Growth: Why Investors Need Both
Ben Baden

Value versus growth investing: which one is right for you? Managers of value funds search for unloved, discounted companies and dividends, while growth managers look for companies whose earnings are expected to grow at an rapid rate. Comparisons aside, you don't have to choose between one or the other: every investor should have a combination of the two. Here's how

Why Supreme Court 'Originalists' Are Wrong About Constitution
Zach Miners

While the U.S. Constitution was signed in 1787 as the final word on all legal matters, there's a lot of room for debate when interpreting it for contemporary times. In his new book, The Living Constitution, David Strauss examines how the understanding of the Constitution needs to evolve, as it has, while still providing the anchor for American jurisprudence. Strauss discusses his views

America Has Two Sets of Rules
Arianna Huffington

The bracing reality that America has two sets of rules -- one for the corporate class and another for the middle class -- has never been more indisputable. The middle class, by and large, plays by the rules, then watches as its jobs disappear -- and the Senate takes a break instead of extending unemployment benefits. The corporate class games the system

Diabetes: Could You Have Diabetes and Not Know It
Nicole Gregory

When it comes to the dangers of diabetes, Americans are pretty clueless. There is no cure for diabetes, and its damage can be severe, leading to heart disease, stroke, nerve damage and kidney problems. Over 23 million people in the United States have some form of diabetes, and nearly a quarter of them don't know it. Here's what you can do

Ongoing Gulf Oil Spill Destroys the Myth of Competence
Leonard Pitts Jr.

After a month and a half of top kill and junk shot, of chemical dispersants and high-tech domes, of skimmers and controlled burns, this is what we have to show for it. We are now told it may take another 'two months' to stop oil from spewing into Gulf Coast waters. Weeks later, one other consequence becomes jarringly apparent: the Myth of Competence has died

Should Investors Sit This One Out?
Rob Silverblatt

Perhaps the most daunting aspect of the recent market turmoil is the simple fact that whenever stocks shoot up, a whole army of rally-killing scenarios seems poised to swoop in and drag prices back down. As this confluence of factors injects a sense of unpredictability into the stock market, it's no surprise that many jittery investors have opted to sell some holdings and hang onto the cash

Robyn Blumner

'It's the trade deficit, Stupid.' Maybe if people walked around with signs and T-shirts with that slogan rather than rail against the federal budget deficit, the American worker wouldn't be in quite the fix he's in. More people need to be mad that America is a sucker when it comes to global trade. Even as millions of Americans have lost jobs because of it

Robert C. Koehler

With the war on terror in its ninth year and disappearing from even the pretense of national debate, let alone outrage and protest, and with the President of Hope prosecuting it so quietly most of us no longer notice, we could be at an eerie national transition point, beyond which war is no longer controversial or a big deal but just the way things are

Do Great Leaders Make History or Are They Carried Along by the Tides of Change
Paul Kennedy

Are Great Leaders really all that decisive in altering the tides and currents of world affairs? This is a general question which has attracted attention from historians, philosophers and political scientists for over 2,000 years, and rightly so, because it is about the causality of changes over time. What, after all, changes the course of history?

Who Got Hit Worst in the Great Recession Market Crash
Mark Miller

Media coverage of the 2008 market crash often focuses on investors close to retirement age. The story line is that pre-retirement investors took some of the worst hits and compounded their difficulties when they panicked and sold at market bottom. All true. But, the overall record of these close-to-retirement investors actually is considerably better than those of other age groups

Paying the High Price of Food Waste
Sharon Palmer, R.D.

More than 40 percent of the food produced for consumption in the U.S. will never be eaten. In fact, food waste in America has increased by about 50 percent since 1974, reaching more than 1,400 calories per person per day. That's almost half of the daily calorie requirement for the average person. Why are we food wasters? The answer to that question is complicated and requires introspection

While still trying to undo the damage of Iraq and the recklessness of banking tycoons, Obama is now confronted with the worst environmental calamity

It was April 15. I went and mailed my taxes. It felt surreal, doing this mundane civic chore on the day breast cancer took my mother. I remember being vaguely surprised that taxes were still due, that the world had not stopped, that here was life, going on regardless. Now here we are, 22 years later and I just signed up to walk 60 miles as part of the Susan G. Komen 3-Day For The Cure.

United States - 5 Ways to Keep America Great
Mortimer B. Zuckerman

Altogether Americans are a little sadder. Everyone seems to be talking about decline and recession, about an aging America that no longer leads the world and is falling behind a rejuvenated China. Worry has always preceded reform in America. We have had periods of decline and loss of confidence. But America has always bounced back. And, there is a developing consensus on what we have to do

Al-Qaeda has Lost the Battle. But has it Won the War?
Chris Thomas

In retrospect, 9/11 seems to have become an even more iconic day then we thought. Tactically, it was of course the most catastrophic attack ever on US soil. On the surface we have viewed 9/11 as a geopolitical event. But in longer range terms, and with the benefit of hindsight, it may be fair to ask: Has al-Qaeda achieved its strategic aim of bringing down the United States as a world power?

Strange Sighting in Iraq
Paul Greenberg

What can this be approaching across the sands of Iraq? It can't be. It's not possible. It's not found in this unnatural habitat ... and yet there is. It shows the outward signs, including some of the innate strengths and inevitable weaknesses and distinctive eccentricities of that rarest of creatures in those Mesopotamian climes: democracy.

Many Americans Still Clueless About Retirement Saving
Humberto Cruz

Altogether, 54 percent of American workers are at least somewhat confident of having a comfortable retirement and 75 percent are at least somewhat confident they'll be able to cover at least their basic expenses. However, the way I see it, this merely reflects again the false confidence that had characterized survey findings consistently before the economic downturn

Liz Smith

Lady Gaga is most often compared to Madonna, and cited as her inheritor to the crown as Queen of Pop. It's certainly not going to be Britney Spears! Hard to judge at this point. The culture and the music biz has changed so much since Madonna's advent in 1983, that the landscape is almost totally unrecognizable. So, can Lady Gaga hold onto her popularity?

Time to Act on a Bleak Fiscal Future
Mortimer B. Zuckerman

There is gridlock in Congress, and it is most troubling in the Senate. Senators are supposed to take a long view of the national interest. Then there's the unproductive partisanship from the wing nuts on both sides whose venom spews continuously in the news media. They would be mildly entertaining were it not that America is in the grip of a severe financial crisis.

Global Warming Fact Denial Won't Change Climate Back
Joseph Romm

Big Oil wants us to remain addicted to oil, a major source of carbon pollution. So it and other special interests have conducted an aggressive disinformation campaign for more than a decade to convince Americans that there's a major disagreement among scientists on the dangers posed by carbon pollution, just as the tobacco industry disputed the science to keep smokers addicted.

How Health Reform Will Affect Older Americans
Mark Miller

Opponents of health reform used smokescreens to frighten older Americans -- conjuring up everything from death panels to dire predictions of slashed Medicare budgets and totalitarian takeovers of hospitals and doctors' offices. But it's really not nice to scare Grandma. So, now that the smoke is starting to clear, let's consider the important benefits in the new law for people over age 50

The Great B-17: A World War II Memory

Global Energy After The Economic Crisis
Christof Ruhl

Commercially traded energy is what classical economists used to call a 'basic good': directly or indirectly, it enters the production of every other produced commodity or service. Because these resources are finite and unevenly distributed, they seem to become increasingly hard to come by when global economic activity expands. This is the logic behind the concept of energy security.

Who Will Be the New Global King of the Hill
William Pfaff

China and India stopped being part of what was called the third world when the Communist world disappeared in a shattering of global illusions in 1989. Since then there has been a search to find a new King of the Global Hill. The United States rejoiced for a few years in being the sole superpower, considering it an opportunity to remake the world according to its own advantage.

America Rides off Into the Sunset
Victor Davis Hanson

National leaders have only long-term self-interests and so seek to expand their influence whenever they can. Obama better understand that.

Controversial Supreme Court Decision Expected to Reshape Financing of Elections
Alex Kingsbury

In one of the most contentious rulings in recent Supreme Court history, the high court overturned decades of legal precedent that limited how corporations, unions, and other organizations can participate in the political process. The 5-to-4 decision is all but certain to dramatically reshape the conduct of elections in the United States, campaign finance experts say.

Mitch Albom

When someone told me J.D. Salinger had died, I jokingly asked, 'How do they know?' It was dark humor and a tad disrespectful. But I was trying to be complimentary. Salinger, who was even more passionate about his privacy than his writing, had managed, at age 91, to die a legend in both areas.

U.S. & China Trade Barbs After Google's Ultimatum
Alex Kingsbury

What began as a quiet post on Google's official blog has ballooned into a full fledged international tempest, with the U.S. and China trading barbs about the role of the government in regulating the Internet. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday condemned cyber attacks and called for an Internet where all have equal access to knowledge and ideas

Predicting the Fed's Next Move
Rob Silverblatt

The Federal Reserve didn't pull out any surprises when it blandly announced that it will keep interest rates near zero as the economy continues to recover. But even as the Fed remains fairly tight-lipped about when it will begin ratcheting up rates, economists have been quick to speculate about what's in store. Here are some predictions

Upcoming Iraqi Elections - Political Tremors
Brett H. McGurk

Recent news that Sunni candidates were banned from upcoming Iraqi elections has focused attention on that March 7 vote -- a crucial election for a new government to serve through 2014. Much is at stake, and the United States will have to maneuver carefully, supporting but not overtly interfering with the vote, cabinet formation, and then a new Iraqi government.

Economic Risk in 7 Countries Spooking Investors
Matthew Bandyk

Despite federal spending consuming 27.2 percent of GDP, the United States maintains a Aaa rating. But you can't say the same about many countries in both the developed and developing world where continued fallout from the economic crisis is hurting their credit ratings. As a result, investors have viewed the economic situations in these countries as increasingly risky bets.

Real Estate - Strategic Defaults and the Foreclosure Crisis
Luke Mullins

Foreclosure tallies continue to break records and even more homeowners appear headed for foreclosure this year. However, as the housing crisis rumbles forward, an additional driver of home foreclosures has become clear: Strategic Defaults -- borrowers able to pay their mortgage are simply walking away because they believe it's best for their finances

Rising Yachts Lift No Tides
Jesse Jackson

The government argued that they had to resuscitate the banks in order to save the U.S. economy. So, they rescued the banks not to save the banks, but to save the economy. It 'worked.' Banks are back, making profits and gearing up bonuses. However, unemployment and home foreclosures are rising and personal bankruptcies are at record levels. Obviously, there is a fundamental disconnect ...

Social Security: Let's Not Kill the Golden Goose
John Rother

Social Security's enduring popularity reflects the insurance nature of the program: Recipients have an earned right to their retirement benefits. Everyone who pays into the program is entitled to benefits. If you work long enough in covered employment, you qualify, no matter where you stand on the income ladder.

Social Security: Congress' Ponzi Scheme
John Rother

The fantasy of Social Security is seductive. We imagine there is an actual trust fund somewhere that takes in money and manages it responsibly. When we retire, we are 'entitled' to that money. Reality is not so attractive: Social Security is just a promise by Congress to take money from younger people and give it to older people.

Matthew Bandyk

Since the Christmas incident, the government has planned to spend about $1 billion on full-body scanners and other security technology. However, the money spent on airport security goes far beyond the actual equipment.

The problem in the job market going forward is not so much layoffs in the private sector, which are abating, but a lack of hiring.

When Freedom Was at High Tide
Paul Greenberg

The great tide had been building for years, for decades. But it would take daring and determination to release it. Walls do not come tumbling down by themselves, however much it might seem that way looking back. There is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to freedom. High tide came November 9, 1989, when the Wall came down

Communism's Enablers and Excusers
Cal Thomas

On Nov. 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall was pulled down to the consternation of leftists, who still had faith socialism could work with the right leaders, and to the delight of conservatives, who believed that socialism and communism guaranteed mutually-shared poverty. Two years later, the Soviet Union crumbled. Soviet communism might not have endured for 70 years had it not been for enablers in academia, religion and journalism

I come in contact with the failure of America's retirement system at my local supermarket. That's where a corps of elderly gentlemen bag my groceries.

Without fail this thought enters my mind: What went wrong for them?

(c) Jack Ohman

U.S., China and the Emerging Economic Order
Henry Kissinger

The assumption that the end of the recession will restore the familiar global economic system ignores the psychological and political upheaval that has taken place.

A vast tide of liquidity coupled with America's appetite for consumer goods had sent enormous amounts of dollars to China that, in turn, China lent back to us for still more buying.

The Default Power and American Declinism
Josef Joffe

The history of declinism shows that doom arrives in cycles, and what comes and goes, logically, does not a trend make. Today, as after past prophecies of imminent debility, the United States remains first on any scale of power that matters -- economic, military, diplomatic or cultural -- despite being embroiled in two wars and beset by the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

Big Government Medicine
Victor Davis Hanson

Big new taxes. Big new spending. Big new government. This seems to be the proposed cure for the Wall Street-inspired recession. The government now runs major banks and companies, and plans to take control of the American health-care system. And it aims to tax how energy in the United States is used to monitor carbon use.

Frustrated Baby Boomers Alienated from the Political Debate
Mary Kate Cary

There's a big disconnect in politics right now. The older baby boomers, the ones in their 50s and 60s, are increasingly left out of the political discourse. That crowd is part of the biggest demographic segment of our population -- more than a quarter of our citizens. They're dismayed that their local newspaper -- if it still exists -- places more emphasis on obituaries and local real estate news. Any national news is buried somewhere far from the front page. They feel like they can't get issue-oriented policy news anymore and are ...

Iraq War -- What War
Victor Davis Hanson

The war in Iraq is scarcely in the news any longer, despite the fact that 141,000 American soldiers are still protecting the fragile Iraqi democracy, and 114, as of this writing, have been lost this year in that effort. But after the success of the surge, there are far fewer American fatalities each month

An Amazon Kindle for Every Student
Zach Miners

Forget better standards, merit pay for teachers, or rebuilding the crumbling infrastructure of America's aging schools. No, if we really want to fix the U.S. education system, we must start with Kindles. Thomas Z. Freedman, the primary author of the paper, writes that having a "Kindle in every backpack" (the title of the proposal) is not just an educational gimmick but could improve education quality and save money

States Forced to Cut Services to the Bone: Opportunity Cost of the Bank Bailout (c) Paul Tong
Government Bailout

Opportunity Cost of the Bank Bailout
Arianna Huffington

The lopsided 'recovery.' Banks that received billions in taxpayer handouts now reporting massive profits and setting aside record amounts for executive bonuses, and the American people continuing to face 9.5 percent unemployment, 10,000 foreclosures a day and vital services being cut.

 

Iran at Crossroads of History
Will this Regime Fall Like Shah's

Abolhassan Bani-Sadr

Within six short weeks since the recent election, the government of the Islamic Republic has been publicly divided, delegitimized, challenged and weak. As a result, we can now draw some analytical parallels between the current regime and the pre-1979 monarchy, and between the two occasions of political unrest.

Working Together, Brazil, Russia, China and India Increase Leverage
Ian Bremmer

In 2003, a report authored by Goldman Sachs economists popularized the term BRICs -- Brazil, Russia, India and China -- to describe a whole new category of emerging-market powerhouse. The report argued that with sound political leadership and relative international stability, the BRIC economies would together outpace the original G6 industrialized nations in dollar terms by 2040 -- a fundamental shift in the global balance of power. Since then, these four countries have assumed ever-greater importance in the international investment community's collective imagination.

Obama's Great Race to Change America
Victor Davis Hanson

Why does President Obama want to implement all at once radical changes in American foreign policy, environmental policy, education, health care and the tax code? The answer is easy: If he does not achieve these initiatives soon, he never will. Almost none of Obama's proposed policies any longer enjoy majority support among voters

Housing Crisis Conundrum:
Which America Do You Live In

Ilyce Glink

It almost feels as though there are two economies.

First, we have the so-called 'good news' from Wall Street, where the big financial companies are crowing about billion-dollar profits, paying $100 million bonuses, and repaying warrants. Then we have the Main Street economy, where people can't get lenders to call them back, where jobs continue to be lost, home values continue to fall, net worths shrink and foreclosures continue to rise.

Early Economic Recovery: Fiction or Fact
Paul A. Samuelson

Ever since the global meltdown began in 2007, Wall Street pundits and government officials have proclaimed cheery optimism that meaningful global recovery will occur by the second half of 2009, or the first quarter of 2010. So, as in an earlier time, they're telling us we have nothing to fear except fear itself. Well, we have now entered 2009's second half. The question is whether the early economic recovery is fact or fiction. Paul A. Samuelson shares his findings ...
