“There are three key points with regard to spending. Spending more money than you make on a reoccurring basis is irresponsible. Irresponsibly spending someone else’s money is unethical; and if you’re a fiduciary, a fiduciary breach. And irresponsibly spending someone else’s money when they’re too young to vote and not born yet is immoral. And all three of those things are going on right now, and they threaten America’;s future.”

Mark Nappi is vice president of launch and recovery systems for United Space Alliance, NASA’s prime contractor for shuttle operations. As things stand today, he predicted that more than 4,500 of the company’s 5,500 Florida workers will lose their jobs. Geographically speaking, Nappi said 4,850 USA workers live in Brevard, including 3,250 in the northern half of the county.
“And if we believe in Florida that we have the birthright to spaceflight operations, we’re going to be the Pittsburgh of the steel industry and the Detroit of the car industry.”

“I personally encourage the president to establish a White House commission on public media,” the legendary newsman said.
Such a commission on media reform, Rather said, ought to make recommendations on saving journalism jobs and creating new business models to keep news organizations alive.
At stake, he argued, is the very survival of American democracy.“A truly free and independent press is the red beating heart of democracy and freedom,” Rather said in an interview yesterday afternoon. “This is not something just for journalists to be concerned about, and the loss of jobs and the loss of newspapers, and the diminution of the American press’ traditional role of being the watchdog on power. This is something every citizen should be concerned about.”
The government is and always has been the biggest threat to a free press. Those are exactly the people you don’t want to go to.
Look Dan, you personally helped feed this beast we are all now facing (the industrial-military complex – surely you heard about it from Eisenhower).
You helped facilitate the “takeover” of our government by the oligarchies and now you’re wining about the results?
Go away Dan, you’ve done enough damage.
The willingness of these financial psycopaths to deny the obvious, torture logic, twist language and abuse mathematics for their own self-enrichment at society’s expense is more than utterly nauseating.They profit immensely from tightly coupled systems prone to boom bust and bailout, as their millions of financial murder victims scream in agony.
Any fool with half a brain can understand what needs to be done to reform the system to benefit society at large, notwithstanding the rhetoric of these financial sophists.
If there were a North and a South with militias, and a Fort Sumpter, we’d already be in a Civil War. That’s how hatefully repugnant these assholes are in their financial slaveships loaded with chink chains of deception and usury.
They truly are possessed by demons, demons of thanatos, eat and kill, eat and kill, eat and kill, like bacteria. And when there is nothing left to eat, they will try to eat themselvs in a blind craving addiction to death.
