Dennis Kucinich explains the futility of the Wall Street bailout. Full text here

Here is a very quick explanation of the $700 billion bailout within the context of the mechanics of our monetary and banking system:The taxpayers loan money to the banks. But the taxpayers do not have the money. So we have to borrow it from the banks to give it back to the banks. But the banks do not have the money to loan to the government. So they create it into existence (through a mechanism called fractional reserve) and then loan it to us, at interest, so we can then give it back to them.

Confused?

This is the system.

Republicans — The Other White Meat

In a demonstration of the GOP’s continuing pigginess, the Republican National Convention shows they are the party of “white meat.” According to the Washington Post, only 1.5% of the delegates to the Republican National Convention were black:

ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 3 — Organizers conceived of this convention as a means to inspire, but some African American Republicans have found the Xcel Energy Center depressing this week. Everywhere they look, they see evidence of what they consider one of their party’s biggest shortcomings.  As the country rapidly diversifies, Republicans are presenting a convention that is almost entirely white.  Only 36 of the 2,380 delegates seated on the convention floor are black, the lowest number since the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies began tracking diversity at political conventions 40 years ago

While the GOP is at an all-time low, just the opposite is true among the Democrats… perhaps not surprising as Obama is the first black person to win the nomination of a major party. Quote the Joint Center:

African American participation at this year’s Democratic National Convention will be at an all-time high, with 1,079 African American delegates representing 24.3 percent of the total.
