Americans Forgotten the Claims Against CubaCarolyn Lamb
In 1964, the U.S. Congress passed legislation allowing the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission to open up the Cuba Claims program, with the intention to certify and verify what the American businesses and individual families had lost due to expropriation, and to determine a dollar value of lost assets for each claim. In the end, after all the data and documentation collection was complete, 5,913 Americans were able to have their lost assets certified by our United States Government, and we are referred to as the U.S. Certified Claimants.
Fifty years ago, on 1 September 1969, the first and only king of Libya was deposed. This document highlights the bloodless coup by a group of Libyan military officers which removed king Idris I. The group, which called itself the Revolutionary Command Council, was motivated by the ideology of Arab socialism modeled by Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser. Within a short time, a young officer named Muammar Qadhafi emerged as a leader of the group, and he would rule Libya for the next 40 years.

Taking an agile approach to the digital workplaceJames Robertson
The new digital workplace is emerging within organisations as a result of a wave of digital change. Agile development methodologies are also accelerating the pace of development. Together they are transforming the workplace. See what this looks like in this presentation by James Robertson at KMWorld 2015 in Washington DC.
George W. Bush’s credibility has more holes it than one of Dick Cheney’s hunting partners. In 2009, following eight years of misrule, the axis-of incompetence finally vacated the White House; the world breathed a sigh of relief. Today, the Bush administration’s reputation may be worth less than a share of Enron’s stock selling on E-bay, but there are still some apologists who insist that the decisions Bush made in office will be vindicated by posterity. However, Bush vs. History makes a virtually irrefutable case showing why George W. Bush is destined to join the ranks of James Buchanan, Richard Nixon, Herbert Hoover, Andrew Johnson, and Warren Harding in the cellar of presidential ignominy.
To date, Bush has managed to escape the legal and moral reckoning for his lawless and criminally negligent tenure. However, the verdict of history is one thing Bush will not be able to evade. Bush vs. History pieces together essays, op-ed style articles, book and film reviews, and political humor organized around a central theme: showing how and why Bush failed the test of presidential leadership. Themes explored include: Bush and the Art of Leadership, Bush and Language, Bush’s Faith-Based Foreign Policy, Bush Economics, Bush and the Art of War, Bush and Torture, and Why the Right is Wrong for America.
In 2000, James Baker III, Bush family consigliore, and one of the finest sophists in our nation’s history, led an effort that eventually convinced the conservative majority on the U.S Supreme Court to effectively overturn the will of the electorate. Baker’s rhetorical skills were so beguiling that he probably could have used them to sell one-way tickets aboard a Russian submarine. However, it is now abundantly clear that those who engineered Bush’s victory in the infamous Bush vs. Gore decision helped steer this country towards disaster. Today, it is doubtful that even James Baker could salvage Bush’s reputation. Bush vs. Gore was a watershed in American history. For everyone who was outraged by Bush vs. Gore, Bush vs. History delivers what the aforementioned case failed to do; a measure of poetic justice.
The collective wealth of New York’s 120 billionaires jumped by $156.3 billion, or 30 percent, between mid-March of last year and this year, according to new data from Americans for Tax Fairness and the Institute for Policy Studies compiled by the Strong Economy For All Coalition, the Fund Excluded Workers Coalition and the Invest in Our New York campaign.
The $156.3 billion in pandemic profits of the state’s richest residents could cover the state’s projected $15 billion budget gap ten times over and still leave them wealthier than they were when the pandemic hit a year ago.
The Bill Clinton Era the 1990s and the new millenniumBoutkhil Guemide
The Presidency of Bill Clinton has been an important era in the history of the US. Clinton is best known of his economic policies; namely, Clintonomics which produced a huge surplus of the budget. In foreign policy, Clinton is best known of the Engagement and Enlargement which relied on building of a new world order based on both Democracy and Freemarket economy.

A new report in the Washington Post details exactly how the Bush Administration destroyed the
American economy.
According to the Bush Administration's own
records, when Bush was elected in 2000, he
inherited a federal budget surplus of $236 billion
from the Clinton Administration.
In 1998, the Federal budget reported its first
surplus ($69 billion) since 1969. In 1999, the
surplus nearly doubled to $125 billion, and then
again in 2000 to $236 billion."

The Budget Surplus and Fiscal Discipline
But in 2008, after eight years of George W. Bush, the federal budget deficit soared to $454.8 billion
almost triple the $161.5 billion recorded in fiscal year 2007.
How did Bush squander the huge budget surplus, when he had a Republican controlled House and a
Republican controlled Senate?
There were many factors involved in creating the Bush Deficits, including the normal ebb and flow of
the economy, but presidential mismanagement was by far the biggest factor.
Bush Republicans abandoned three key conservative principles: a balanced budget, a strong
military, and service to country. Instead Republicans implemented several other conservative ideas,
including lower taxes for the rich and deregulation of the financial industry. The result was a fiscal
disaster.
The first to go was the call to make sacrifices for your country. After the 9/11 attacks, the entire
country was united behind the President. But instead of asking Americans to make sacrifices for
their country in a time of war, Bush told us to go on vacation.
Get down to Disney World in Florida. Take your families and enjoy life, the way we want it to be
enjoyed."

Instead of asking Americans to pay higher taxes to pay for the War On Terror, Bush threw away the
balanced budget and choose to borrow money instead. Americans understood why taxes needed to
be raised for the war effort, but Bush and the Republicans didn't.
Republicans thought that holding down taxes was more important than paying for the war.
Republicans thought that lowering taxes on the wealthy and deregulating the financial industry
would spark the economy.
Exactly the opposite happened. The wheels came off.
Bush's greatest mistake was gutting the military by illegally invading Iraq, instead of crushing Al
Qaeda and killing or capturing Osama bin Laden. The war in Iraq stretched the military to the
breaking point, shattered the budget, and divided the country in a time of war.
No matter what you think of Bill Clinton (draft dodger, philanderer, cheat), you have to admit that he
is highly intelligent and that he did a great job with the economy. George W. Bush, on the other
hand, is a man of average intelligence who presided over a historic collapse of the American
economy.
For those of us who staunchly believe in conservative principles such as a balance budget, a strong
military, and service to our country, the question is simple.
Why would you ever vote for a Republican again? The Republicans are the ones who got us into this
mess. Why would you trust them to get us out of it?
