What Green Economy? – Economyincrisis.org
Van Jones, the President’s senior adviser to the White House Council on Environmental Quality, has no definition of what makes a project “green.”
Thus far the vast majority of President Obama’s $787 billion stimulus package has not gone into the economy. As a result we do not yet know the extent of the effect it will have on things like health care, employment, taxation, or research and development initiatives.
One area that was a major focus of President Obama during his campaign and early days in office was starting a sort of Green Revolution in the United States. According to Newsweek, the White House committed $60 billion to “building a new green-based economy.”
Van Jones, the President’s senior adviser to the White House Council on Environmental Quality, has no definition of what makes a project “green.” It will be difficult to quantify the point where a “green economy” is starting to grow. One area where there has been some growth is in “weatherization” or making buildings and homes more energy efficient.

The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.-Thom(Do you think will try it? Tell us here.) -

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
