Back From A Long Hiatus

Back with coverage of some of the same problems and many new problems in our Nation and the World.
* Our Economy is still hanging on by a thread as is many in the world. * The GOP is still holding up everything in Congress. * We are still in Afghanistan and somewhat still in Iraq., and have taken part in the UN's action in Libya. * There has been an Arab Spring that has changed, for the moment, many North African Arab Nations with a populist movement. * We have our own populist movement that has started recently, just less than a month old, here in the United States called Occupy Wall Street which has quickly spread across the Nation and many parts of the World. * President Obama is trying to pass a much needed Jobs Bill which includes help for our crumbling Infrastructure and Tax help for Small Businesses and it's being blocked by the GOP which because of the Corporate backed Tea Party has turned extremely Right Wing.
And there's a lot more, so lets get started with news stories and comment.
"We Are The 99%" The chant from all the Occupy groups across the Nation.
Here's a video from The Rachel Maddow Show where Ezra Klein was subbing for Rachel, and his guest Naomi Klein who wrote the book "Shock Doctrine": 'The Sky's The Limit' A interview with Naomi Klein on Occupy Wall Street
