DemocracyNow.org - After months of a bitterly partisan stalemate, the U.S. House of Representative has voted 269 to 161 in favor of raising the federal borrowing limit and avoiding a default on the national debt. The final count showed 174 Republican ayes, with Democrats split evenly — 95 on each side. The vote came just hours before a Department of Treasury deadline that potentially would have seen the United States run out of cash and default for the first time in its history. The bill is expected to be approved by the Senate and signed into law by President Obama today. The deal includes no new tax revenue from wealthy Americans, provides no additional stimulus for the lagging economy, and will cut more than $2.1 trillion in government spending over 10 years, while extending the borrowi...

The New School, a university in New York City, offers distinguished degree, certificate, and continuing education programs in art and design, liberal arts, management and policy, and the performing arts. THE NEW SCHOOL | http://www.newschool.edu In his farewell address, President Dwight Eisenhower warned of "the acquisition of undue influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex." Fifty years later, the military budget is at its highest levels since World War II, and vast support industries (from aircraft manufacturers to employers of soldiers for hire) are being enriched by record levels of Pentagon contracts. Eisenhower sounded the alarm and periodically others echo it, but the power of military-related activities in the U.S. economy and government continues t...

On January 17, 1961, President Dwight D. Eisenhower gave his famous farewell address in which he warned of the dangers of "unwarranted influence, whether sought our unsought, by the military-industrial complex."

Join a panel of experts to discuss this issue. The panel is being held to mark the release of William D. Hartung's new book, Prophets of War: Lockheed Martin and the Making of the Military-Industrial Complex. http://www.newamerica.net/events/2011/military_industrial_complex
Chris Hedges calls us to action, to create a new political movement to replace our corrupt government and obsolete economic institutions, building on what's begun by Occupy Wall Street. Talk at Church of All Souls in New York City February 7, 2012. Video by Joe Friendly. Apologies for occasional camera shaking, but the speaker's audio is extra fine as result of that tiny wireless AZDEN mic at Chris's lips that the church let me stick on with a tiny rubber band at the last moment before he was about to speak!
