Signs Of A Dying Society

While Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning and John Kiriakou are vilified for revealing vital information about spying and bombing and torture, a man who conspired with Goldman Sachs to make billions of dollars on the planned failure of subprime mortgages was honored by New York University for his “Outstanding Contributions to Society.”

1. A House Bill Would View Corporate Crimes as ‘Honest Mistakes’

2. Unpaid Taxes of 500 Companies Could Pay for a Job for Every Unemployed American

3. Almost 2/3 of American Families Couldn’t Afford a Single Pill of a Life-Saving Drug

4. Violent Crime Down, Prison Population Doubles

5. One in Four Americans Suffer Mental Illness, Mental Health Facilities Cut by 90%
