Welcome to Palestine SHARE
As statesmen and activists worldwide loudly proclaim their commitment to establishing the sovereign State of Palestine, they miss the fact that Palestine exists. And it is a nightmare.
In the State of Palestine 88 percent of the public feels insecure. Perhaps the other 12 percent are members of the multitude of regular and irregular militias.
The Palestinians receive more aid per capita than any people on earth.

Government takes over US Airways pension plan for pilots SHARE
The government's pension protection program assumed control of US Airways pilots' underfunded pension plan, but only will fund about a fourth of the losses...about $600 million. "To prevent this from happening to other workers, pension plans need to be funded in a way that better protects the benefits participants have earned." My article, "A Direct Route to Social Security Reform" applies this approach to government pensions.

The Beginining of the End for Corporate-Led Globalization? SHARE
By William Greider, The Nation, posted 1/19/2007. This year could be different. In both the House and Senate, the growing nucleus of legislators who are skeptical of or downright hostile to globalization is strong enough to force debates on some reform ideas. That doesn't mean the reformers will necessarily prevail. The article discusses and updates progress on a few global issues that ought to be addressed.
