Editorial: the one thing Congress can agree on is violating your privacy
By Joshua Kopstein, theverge.com

Congress has once again failed to protect Americans from warrantless electronic surveillance
This week, as Congressional incompetence threatens to plunge the US into another recession, it’s comforting to know that Democrats and…

This is pretty troubling, congress can’t agree on spending cuts and taxes but they sure as hell can sign away freedoms, just as long as the rich don’t see a tax rate increase and the government doesn’t have to spend any less money. Jerks

McCain doesn't have time for facts, information.

McCain doesn't have time for facts, information. :

wilwheaton:

If there’s anyone in Washington who would benefit from a detailed briefing on what actually transpired in Benghazi in September, it’s the senator who’s throwing fits over what he thinks happened in Benghazi in September.

As luck would have it, the Senate Homeland Security Committee, which McCain is a member of, received a classified, closed-door briefing for nearly two hours yesterday, receiving up-to-date information. What did McCain learn from the briefing? Nothing — according to the Republican ranking member on the committee, McCain failed to show up.

And it gets better: McCain had his temper tantrum press conference at the same time as the classified briefing he did not attend. If I were the chair of that committee, I’d ask for McCain’s resignation.

Lololol!! Well done Senator McCain! Why get more information when you can have a press conference and sling accusations and ambiguous suggestions??

The Truth About the Fiscal Cliff, with sources!

Fri, 16 Nov 2012 10:31:07 -0500

Republicans, led by House Speaker John Boehner, want to scare Americans into accepting yet another extension of the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% and deep cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. So they’ve created a “fiscal cliff” boogeyman.

Unfortunately, if you’re following the media story, you may believe Republican claims that the world’s about to end. But the only thing going off a cliff on December 31 is the ability of Republicans to hold our economy hostage for the sake of the rich (read below to find out why!).

That’s why we have to spread the truth, so our friends and family don’t fall for the Republican myth about the fiscal cliff. We’ve put together a 5-point guide on what this fiscal showdown is really all about. Check it out and then share it on Facebook or Twitter, or just forward this email.

5-Point Guide To The Fiscal Showdown

The “Fiscal Cliff” Is A Myth. As Paul Krugman put it, “The looming prospect of spending cuts and tax increases isn’t a fiscal crisis. It is, instead, a political crisis brought on by the G.O.P.’s attempt to take the economy hostage.”(1) Republicans are manufacturing this crisis to pressure Democrats to extend the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy and accept painful cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

The Bush Tax Cuts Finally End December 31. If Congress does nothing, the ax will fall on all the Bush tax cuts on New Year’s Eve.(2) Then, on January 1, the public pressure on John Boehner and House Republicans to extend the middle-class tax cuts (already passed by the Senate and waiting to be signed by President Obama) will become irresistible.(3) So the middle-class tax cut will eventually get renewed, and we’ll have $823 billion more revenue from the top 2% to do great things with.(4)

The Sequester. The sequester is another political creation, forced on Democrats by Republicans in exchange for lifting the debt ceiling last year to avoid crashing our economy.(5) It’s a set of cuts (50% to a bloated military budget and 50% to important domestic programs) designed to make both Republicans and Democrats hate it so much that they’d never let it happen.(6) And the cuts can be reversed weeks or months into 2013 without causing damage.(7)

The Big Three. Nothing happens to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits on January 1—unless Republicans force painful cuts to beneficiaries in exchange for tax increases on the wealthy, which are going to happen anyway if Congress does NOTHING.(8) So, there’s literally no reason benefits cuts should be part of the discussion right now.

We Should Be Talking About Jobs. The real crisis Americans want Congress to fix is getting people back to work. And with just a fraction of that $823 billion from the wealthiest 2%, we could create jobs for more than 20,000 veterans and pay for the 300,000 teachers and 52,000 first responders, which our communities so desperately need.(9) That’s not to mention jobs from investing in clean energy and our national infrastructure.
Please share this with your friends and family—and talk about it at the dinner table next week. The first step to winning this showdown is making sure we’re all armed with the facts.
