CNN: “Will you go on Erin’s [Erin Burnett] show and tell her that?” Michael Moore: “I just said it in front of your camera.” CNN: “She wants you to go on live tomorrow night with her.” Michael Moore: “No. I think she should come down here and talk to the people here. I am not the voice of this thing. I am a citizen and a participant in this. I am an equal with everyone here and she should come down here and talk individually to different people and hear their stories — hear their stories about what it’s like to live with no health insurance. She has health insurance. She has a secure job. She’s not facing foreclosure. It’s very easy for her to sit there in Columbus Circle and come after innocent people who are struggling to survive. So she should come down here … and spend some time and meet with people and talk to them. But I’m not the spokesperson for this movement. There are millions of spokespeople for this movement. They live in every neighborhood in America. … And I am just one voice at this meeting and I’m proud to be one voice.” Occupying the internets at www.michaelmoore.com

The Montgomery Conference: one of the top technology events of the annual calendar in the United States and held every March.

You have to be selected to present and it is typically reserved for companies that have already …

With almost 20 years inside the health insurance industry, Wendell Potter saw for-profit insurers hijack our health care system and put profits before patients. Now, he speaks with Bill Moyers about how those companies are standing in the way of health care reform.

America’s Ticking Debt Bomb: Like Greece, “Only Worse,” Pento Says Posted Jun 24, 2010 08:58am EDT America’s debt bomb is ticking and is likely to detonate in five years or less, says Michael Pento, senior market strategist at Delta Global Advisors. “It could be much sooner when we hit the debt wall,” Pento says. “My opinion doesn’t matter: Math tells me we’re in a serious problem.” The math Pento refers to is the Treasury Department’s recent estimate that total US debt will top $13.6 trillion this year and rise to 102% of GDP by 2015. Moreover, the publicly traded debt (debt excluding intra-governmental obligations) will rise to $14 trillion by 2015, up from “just” $7.5 trillion in 2009. At $14 trillion, the interest payments on the public debt will total about $1 trillion in 2015, he continues; even assuming solid growth and low inflation, that would equal about 30% of total government revenue. “What do you think that does to our bond market?,” Pento wonders. “It leads to a dollar crisis and a bond market crisis. That’s why gold refuses to go down. ” Demand for US Treasuries and the dollar currently remain high, especially in the wake of the euro’s slow-motion implosion. Pento admits timing this debt crisis is difficult but predicts we’ll be “like Greece, but worse,” in four years or less, unless we make a sudden turn toward austerity. “When we hit the debt wall it’s going to be extremely pernicious, and quickly.” The only way to avoid this catastrophe, Pento says, is …
