By Richard (RJ) Eskow Senior Fellow, Campaign for America’s Future There’s a battle going on between those who are defending Social Security – that is to say, the “good guys” – and those like economist Alice Rivlin and Wall Street banker/giveaway king Neel Kashkari, who would cut it.

Workers Independent News - Thu, 07/29/2010 - 17:23
Economic Report:
By Doug Cunningham
The Congressional Budget Office says absent a major jobs program U.S. workers won’t see pre-recession employment levels return until the end of 2013. 14 million people are jobless. According to the Center for Economic and Policy Research it will be 2021 before enough U.S. jobs are created to catch up to the expanding workforce. Economists at the center and at the Economic Policy Institute agree with organized labor that a big jobs program and dramatic shifts in economic policy are needed to overcome this historic jobs crisis.

A federal judge Wednesday temporarily barred Arizona from enforcing parts of its controversial immigration law. Until courts can rule definitively on the issues police will be barred from checking the immigration status of people arrested for any crime and immigrants won’t have to carry their papers and produce them upon demand by police. But widespread prayer vigils and protests against the immigration law will go forward as planned Thursday. And Trina Zelle, Lead organizer for Arizona’s Interfaith Alliance for Worker Justice says the law is already being enforced.
