Corporate Welfare......
American families are paying an annual $6,000 subsidy to corporations that have doubled their profits and cut their taxes in half in ten years while cutting 2.9 million jobs in the US and adding almost as many jobs overseas.

L00k who's Truthdig's Truthdigger of the Week – Yours truly for my story on Larry Summers and the End-Game memo:
Truthdig's Alexander Reed Kelly writes:
"Those who knew to look noticed that only alternative and a small number of foreign news outlets carried the story. Before ending her search, a Truthdig associate counted 130 such sites. But not so the mainstream press. Like most of Palast’s investigations, the “End-Game Memo” was ignored by CNN, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, PBS and Fox. Major papers, including The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post, also pretended it didn’t exist. Even the U.K.‘s Guardian paper and BBC network, the brave homes of the bulk of Palast’s previous work, appear to have snubbed the report. The compelling question then, given the story’s immense bearing on the future of global society, is why?"

Bernie Sanders added a new photo.
Today's news from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.):
Clock Ticks as Senate Begins Budget Work: Senate leaders will start work Monday on a bill to fund federal agencies into the new fiscal year, but it remains unclear whether Congress can finish the job in time to avoid a partial government shutdown. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is expected to take steps Monday that likely would lead to an important procedural vote on Wednesday to open debate on the funding bill, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Income Gap: A typical middle-class American family made less last year than in 1989, according to a new Census Bureau report cited Sunday by Chris Moore on KDKA-AM in Pittsburgh, Pa. Meanwhile, Forbes magazine reported that the 400 wealthiest Americans doubled what they were worth a decade ago and finally gained back all they had lost in the 2008 economic collapse. “Do you want to know why the American people are angry and disgusted and frustrated,”... Sen. Sanders asked in a Senate floor speech. “That's why.”
Dental Care: Sen. Sanders has introduced a bill to add adult dental care to the Affordable Care Act in 2015. “Providing dental care to more people could significantly reduce medical costs and provide lifesaving, preventive treatment. When the Affordable Care Act expands over the next few years, dental coverage should not and cannot be overlooked. Providing dental care can significantly reduce medical costs …” Ron Inge, executive director of the Institute for Oral Health, wrote in The Seattle Times.
Global Warming: Scientists will this week issue their starkest warning yet about the mounting dangers of global warming. In a report to be handed to political leaders in Stockholm on Monday, they will say that the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation have now led to a warming of the entire globe, including land surfaces, oceans and the atmosphere, The Guardian reported. Extreme weather events, including heatwaves and storms, have increased in many regions while ice sheets are dwindling at an alarming rate. In addition, sea levels are rising while the oceans are being acidified – a development that could see the planet's coral reefs disappearing before the end of the century.
