Visa's IPO - $3 Billion of $19B (16%) Will Go to Litigation (i.e. - Fighting its abundant wrongdoings)


HuffPo's article "Visa's IPO: The Next Big Thing" announces that VISA “was looking to raise $19 billion from its initial public offering (IPO), which would make it the largest in U.S. history.” 

FILM: Body of War (www.bodyofwar.com)


Just heard about this film; wanted to spread the word...

BODY OF WAR Trailer [NEW]

ABOUT THE FILM:  [Tomas] Young, 25 years old, paralyzed from a bullet to his spine - wounded after serving in Iraq for less than a week.  Body of War is Tomas' coming home story as he evolves into a new person, coming to terms with his disability and finding his own unique and passionate voice against the war. The film is produced and directed by Phil Donahue and Ellen Spiro, and features two original songs by Eddie Vedder. Body of War is a naked and honest portrayal of what it's like inside the body, heart and soul of this extraordinary and heroic young man.

Separate from the movie, but I thought I'd include it here:

Frank Rich mentions "Financial Product Safety Commission"


Frank Rich mentions Hillary's plan for a "Financial Product Safety Commission" (FPSC) as a hastily slapped together commission to try to solve a problem facing the Ohio voters as Hillary scrounges for votes.

I don't support Hillary, but Prof. Liz Warren's FPSC is an ABSOLUTE must-have in the next 4 years. The family finance nightmare must take center stage now.

The real reason families can't afford health care? Credit Card bills, late payment fees, "phantom" fees, "universal default", and pay-day loans at 400% APR. CC companies do not produce real "goods" for society. They are bear traps designed to bleed people dry slowly and methodically over time.

The FPSC should be be estalished in the First 100 Days.  "If it's good enough for microwaves, it's good enough for mortgages."   -- Prof. Warren
