No Slow-Down in Haslam Shipping Tennessee Jobs to his Out-of-State Pals and Donors

Beyond being a corrupt politician.

More than directing millions of dollars in no-bid state contracts to your pals and campaign donors -- all without input from the public or even the legislature.

Way past working opposite your fiduciary duty to the people of the state.

More than just, the numbers don't even work out.

It's jaw-dropping, how-are-you-getting-away-with-this?

Tennessee Gov. Haslam has been cutting Tennessee working families out of jobs by continuing a massive, Machiavellian scheme to "outsource" those jobs to out-of-state corporations. So much for helping Tennessee's economy, even if you don't care about working people. Does anybody think out-of-state profiteers care about Tennessee or know best how to "fix" us?

Mass media have not shined much of a light on this, is one way to get away with being a crook and traitor. Nice to have a $2B net worth, although seems Haslam is still clawing for more.

Here is some information on Haslam's grand plan.

And another.

Wish List of Research

1. Who makes money on war? And on military buying, protecting and occupying? Yeah, we already know, but let's audit this with excellent research that lays out who profited and continues to profit from our invasion and occupation of Iraq and Afganistan....or any other military activity and occupations, past or present. We have at least 823 foreign bases that the U.S. admits to; those are paid for by taxpayers, and the military bases are there principally to guard the oil for Exxon-Mobil. I believe we will find that taxpayers spend a huge amount on corporate welfare and subsidies to giant corporations, whose profits obviously are more important than the lives and limbs that are sacrificed in military actions. While we are at it, we should study who makes money from natural disasters, and how they get handed huge government contracts---in a no-bid rush, of course, since it is an emergency. There are capitalistic exploiters who feed off this as an industry; they are just not so long-established as what President Eisenhower called "the military-industrial complex."

2. Economic impact of legalizing use and sale of marijuana. There's another economic stimulus and revenue raiser. It would be regulated for safety and legal for individuals and small outfits to grow and sell. With the chance for broad participation, and the exclusion of monopolistic takeover of the market, many Americans would have the opportunity to be entrepreneurs.
