Fifteen dollars an hour is good for the Economy

The Big Picture: 10 Ideas To Save The Economy by former Labor Secretary Robert Reich and MoveOn.org

This short video explains why fifteen dollars an hour for minimum wage is good for the American Econonmy. Watch this it's less than three minutes long and it makes sense.



What I find funny is no one I have seen on television has ever been able to show when raising the minimum wage has ever hurt local or national economies. You would think they would take any example and try to push it to make their point, no matter how flimsy it would be.

FRONTLINE The Trouble with Chicken

If you ever hear a free market person say... "We don't need regulations cause the free market will handle it". You say to them then, "Why didn't it with Foster Farms and it's year long salmonella outbreak".
This PBS Frontline special is one of the best examples that shows free markets don't correct the bad and dangerous behaviors of companies. This case shows the sad lack of regulators either not having the power to do anything to help and protect people from companies dangerous behaviors or not having the authority to do anything or worse not having the will to do. How weak the congress is... (Why are the same people in power that have been since the sixties, seventies, and eighties I have no clue cause the majority of them seem so inept at doing what is right for the people.) At one point in this documentary I thought the Secretary of Agriculture was speaking as a representative of Foster Farms not as a government official there to help and serve the people of America. The corruption through all of this is extreme.

Sidenote: I said this before but when you watch anything about the government and people start talking about how lobbyist are to strong. What they are really saying is politicians have been bought off. They are saying politicians are corrupted by money. That politicians have been bribed.

The Atomic States of America (2012)

The Atomic States of America. President Obama and a number of politicians have said for years that nuclear power is GREEN. The craziest thing is there are people who believe this industry propaganda. This video speaks about the true state of nuclear plants in America.
After Japan one would think the politicians of America would wake up to the problems and threats this industry creates. Money, power, and status seems more important than the oath to protect against threats foreign and domestic.

We don't need Nuclear Power

Earth Focus - Nuclear Power: Risk and Consequences talks about the true fall out of the Chernobyl disaster, Three Mile Island and Fukushima. I'm completely against Nuclear Power. This video explains most of the reasons why.
