President Obama's ability to deliver on his campaign commitments to
close tax loopholes that promote offshoring and re-regulate the
financial sector would be dealt a sharp blow if the U.S.-Panama Free
Trade Agreement (FTA) is passed, according to a Public Citizen report released today (PDF). The new report details how Panama explicitly created an industrial
policy designed to create a "comparative advantage" in tax-evasion and
money-laundering services for entities such as the bailed-out American
International Group (AIG) and Mexican and Colombian narcotraffickers.

Labor leaders are concerned about the ... Read More

on the House and Senate Budget committees have praised a proposal by
the fiscal panel’s Democratic co-chairman, Erskine Bowles, to limit
government spending and revenue to 21 percent of gross domestic product. As Dean Baker has written : Most serious policy analysts believe that government should provide

OAKLAND -- The image of Cliff Lee and a future with the Texas Rangers graced a handful of televisions in the A's clubhouse Friday afternoon, but not too many eyes followed along. In fact, news of Lee's impending trade from the Mariners to the Rangers -- already the American League West leaders -- didn't shake the green and gold too much.

"I wasn't surprised by the move," said manager Bob Geren. "Teams are trying to find what's ...

Basically, if he stays, all it costs the team was a second round pick in the 2011 draft for a guy everyone knows could still be 20-10 on any given night. " A ham sandwich and a bag of chips" is the shock described on how I read the trade referenced on the ESPN message-boards by the reaction of readers who ...

Jarvis recovers a mariner's view of early America as seen through the eyes of Bermuda's seafarers. The first social history of eighteenth-century Bermuda, this book profiles how one especially intensive maritime community capitalized on its position "in the eye of all trade." Jarvis takes readers aboard small Bermudian sloops and follows white and enslaved sailors as they shuttled cargoes between ports, raked salt, harvested timber, salvaged shipwrecks, hunted whales, captured prizes, and smuggled contraband in an expansive maritime sphere spanning Great Britain's North American and Caribbean colonies. ...
