GRITtv: The Secret Global Empire(s): Russ Baker & John Perkins |
U.S. history has seen many presidents elected on a wave of progressive promises, only to see them compromise again and again once in office, caving to the very interests, military and corporate, that they railed against so effectively. Barack Obama is only the latest to get elected on a promise to end a war and take care of working people, only to preside over an administration stacked with Wall Street types and wind up continuing a war he wanted to wind down. |

Her state is currently being sued by insurance giant Wellpoint for a guaranteed 3 percent profit margin in the midst of a recession that has hit Maine especially hard.
