Group: The Story of Stuff Project. Story of Broke. The United States isn’t broke; we’re the richest country on the planet and a country in which the richest among us are doing exceptionally well.
But the truth is, our economy is broken, producing more pollution, greenhouse gasses and garbage than any other country. In these and so many other ways, it just isn’t working.

Bettencourt’s ex-accountant says Sarkozy received illegal cash donations. In an interview with the website Mediapart, the accountant, identified as Claire T, says Bettencourt’s financial manager, Patrice de Maistre, wanted to withdraw 150,000 euros in March 2007 with the intention of giving it to Eric Woerth to fund Sarkozy’s presidential campaign.
At the time Woerth was Sarkozy’s campaign treasurer. Woerth on Tuesday denied the charges. The accountant, who alleges she worked for Bettencourt from 1995 to 2008, says she testified to the police about the cash donations on Monday evening. She also said Sarkozy himself was a regular visitor at the Bettencourt family home, where he too allegedly received envelopes of cash when he was mayor of the town of Neuilly. Afghan war files revealed by Wikileaks. The White House has denounced the massive disclosure of documents, which is described as the biggest leak in US military history.
The US administration says the information could endanger US lives in Afghanistan. "The United States strongly condemns the disclosure of classified information by individuals and organizations which could put the lives of Americans and our partners at risk, and threaten our national security," said White House National Security Advisor James Jones.

The 92,000 reports on the war in Afghanistan made public by the whistleblower organisation WikiLeaks, and reported Monday by the Guardian, The New York Times and Der Spiegel, offer no major revelations that are entirely new, as did the Pentagon Papers to which they are inevitably being compared.
The most politically salient issue highlighted by the new documents is Pakistan's political and material support for the Taliban insurgency, despite its ostensible support for U.S. policy in Afghanistan. Sen. Russ Feingold, Democratic member of the Foreign Relations Committee, said that problem precludes any "military solution in Afghanistan. " (AFP) But they increase the political pressure on a war policy that has already suffered a precipitous loss of credibility this year by highlighting contradictions between the official assumptions of the strategy and the realities shown in the documents - especially in regard to Pakistan's role in the war.
