U.S. debt clock surges past $18 trillion
U.S. debt clock surges past $18 trillion ‘Up 70% under Barack Obama’ The U.S. debt clock has swept past $18 trillion without so much as a flicker of hesitation. But what is $18 trillion? How about figuring it in exotic supercars, like those 253-mph, 1,001-horsepower (and 8 miles per gallon) $1.9 million Bugatti Veyrons? For the national debt, you get just a handful short of 9.5 million of the cars. How about air-hours for a major jet like Air Force One, assuming operating costs of about $275,000 per hour? You’d have to rack up 65 million hours of flight, give… View Article

Eroding civil rights for political gain
Eroding civil rights for political gain One of the fundamental principles of democracy is that of open courts, where citizens have the right to face their accusers and all the evidence against them. Now, that principle is under threat from legislation being steamrolled through Parliament. In anti-terrorism legislation and a bill on victims’ rights, courts will be able to take secret testimony and evidence from anonymous accusers and sources. In some cases, the accused won’t know who’s accusing him. There could be national-security cases when even the judge won’t know all the details. So how are people to defend themselves… View Article

Corruption rethink: Putin bill features more targeted approach to penalties
Corruption rethink: Putin bill features more targeted approach to penalties Russian President Vladimir Putin has drafted a new anti-corruption bill, proposing correctional labor be used as punishment and a decrease in the amount of fines for minor offences. The new motion aims to perfect the national anti-corruption legislation, reads the explanatory note published on the Kremlin website along with the draft. Currently there is little disincentive for offenders to commit more serious crimes, since the punishment available law is the same as for lesser ones.
