Layoffs Send Wall Street Soaring

golefttv — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 17:58:26 +0000

	Layoffs Send Wall Street Soaring Wall Street always reacts positively to negative news. This isn't a new phenomena, its how the system has always worked.

Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire appears on "Cavuto" to set the record straight.	From: golefttv Views: 241 3 ratings

Wal-Mart's Greenwashing Campaign

golefttv — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:39:16 +0000

	Wal-Mart's Greenwashing Campaign Many environmental are jumping on the "we love Wal-Mart" bandwagon because the company is working to enact numerous new green projects. However, they seem to be forgetting the fact that the company is currently involved in the largest discrimination lawsuit in American history, they routinely screw workers out of fair pay, and building a new Wal-Mart store does more environmental damage than their reforms will prevent.

Is the Stimulus Working?

golefttv — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:29:05 +0000

	Is the Stimulus Working? In spite of the rhetoric coming from the GOP, projects being funded by the stimulus package are already underway across the country. The only holdup at this point is coming from the state level, where governors are either using the money to fill in budget gaps, or they are being too indecisive about how to spend the money. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire takes on the Bulls and Bears on Fox News to set the record straight.	From: golefttv Views: 0 3 ratings

Why Healthcare Reform Will Fail

golefttv — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 23:28:38 +0000

	Why Healthcare Reform Will Fail The GOP wants to scare us into thinking that healthcare reform is going to fail because people will have to wait months to see a doctor, fill out hours worth of paperwork, and receive less care in their version of a Socialist-style healthcare system. While they're right about it failing, they're wrong about the how. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire takes on the folks over at Fox Business' Happy Hour to tell them what we should really fear from the new healthcare bill....

Your Country on Drugs Pt. 2

	Your Country on Drugs Pt. 2 Since the first use of the term "war on drugs" by Richard Nixon, the campaign to rid America of illegal substances has been a failure. Drug use has remained constant in the 40 years since the start of the war on drugs, and the only thing that seems to change is which drugs people are using at any given time. But there's a reason that this campaign has failed, and it has less to do with people wanting to get high, and everything to do with our failure to understand why people choose to use ...

	The Rise of Right Wing Hate Since 9/11, the right wing hate talkers have stepped up their vitriolic attacks against anyone who doesn't agree with them or doesn't look like them.

	Is the Stimulus Working? The GOP is up in arms over the fact that President Obama said that postive effects of the stimulus package are already being seen around the country. They seem to be ignoring the fact that teachers' jobs have been saved in several states, infrastructure repairs are already underway, and police and firefighters are holding onto their positions. It isn't the 2.5 million jobs that Obama promised, but since its been less than 100 days since the stimulus was enacted, that's expected. Mike ...	From: golefttv Views: 468 10 ratings
