+ TruthOut offers "Where the Hell Is the Outrage?" by Richard Eskow. Excerpt: "Middle-class wages are stagnant. Uemployment is stalled at record levels. College education is leading to debt servitude and job insecurity. Millions of unemployed Americans have essentially been abandoned by their government. Poverty is soaring. Bankers break the law with impunity, are bailed out, and go on breaking the law, richer than they were before. And yet, bizarrely, the only Americans who seem to be seething with anger are the beneficiaries of this economic injustice – the wealthiest and most privileged among us. But those who are suffering seem strangely passive."
MY RESPONSE: Economic Justice continues to be undermined by the powers that be. We could be doing so much to alleviate the pain and we are instead increasing the pain. What is wrong with us?
I refer you to my post on The Abundancetrek Blog yesterday: "A Nation Based on Christian Values" where I offer a repost of an amazingly cogent statement on the need for economic justice by my friend J. Barrett Lee.
