A defense of a working program – angrybear.com. Social Security. Read the Brookings link. Fighting the plutocracy’s propaganda (“We are happy to send you on the road to serfdom!”).

Yves’ commentary: “You have to love this, no one else seems to be reporting that the Irish Central Bank is “printing” euros.

I made the suggested $5 donantion as well. “Brain training” is now a multi-hundreds of millions of dollars a year “industry” (scam?).
