Excerpt – “Our tax revenues are adequate to cover just four budget items: military spending, health spending, Social Security, and interest on the national debt. Every other program has to be covered by borrowed funds.”
Excerpt – “Humanity is facing ‘water bankruptcy’ as a result of the crisis even greater than the financial meltdown now destabilising the global economy, two authoritative reports show….[T]here will be no way of bailing the earth out of water scarcity.”

Following the US Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission, Murray Hill, Inc., a Maryland PR firm, decided it should run for Congress and demonstrate the logical extension of the court’s decision: if corporations have a right to free speech, shouldn’t they also have the right to vote (a form of free speech) and the right to run for office? Murray Hill, Inc.’s application to register as a voter was recently denied by the State of Maryland but its spokesperson says they are working on that. In its satirical run for Congress, Murray Hill claims that “corporations are people too.” In a recent NPR interview, a Murray Hills represenative said it is running with the hope of taking the middleman out of politics.
