Durante un reunion in Pittsburgh le mense passate, Barack Obama e altere dirigentes del 20 paises le plus disveloppate ha proponite limitar le remuneration del dirigentes de bancas, ma contrariemente al deseos del paises europee, le G-20 non ha imponite ulle limite sur le remuneration.

Les salaires, les primes et les avantages accessoires de vingt-cinq dirigeants de sociétés aidées financièrement par le gouvernement fédéral des États-Unis seront réduites de 90%. Le gouvernement fédéral des États-Unis ont dépensé 700 milliards de dollars pour sauver le secteur bancaire et des centaines de millions de dollars pour sauver les autres secteurs de l’économie américaine, et Obama ne croit pas que leurs dirigeants doivent être récompensés pour leur incompétence.

Quatre banques et institutions financières sont affectées par les mesures d’austérité imposées par l’exécutif américain, y compris les géants de l’industrie bancaire américaine, Bank of America et Citigroup; une compagnie d’assurance, la désormais célèbre AIG, et deux constructeurs d’automobiles, General Motors et Chrysler.

“Nous ne sommes pas contre la richesse ou de ceux qui réussissent financièrement, mais nous ne tolérerons pas des chefs d’entreprises qui reçoivent d’énormes primes lorsque leurs entreprises ont été sauvées par des interventions extraordinaires provenant des impôts américains”, a déclaré Barack Obama.

Parallèlement, la réserve fédérale a proposé de nouvelles règles de conduite financière pour l’ensemble des entreprises américaines. Ces règles autorisent la banque centrale des Etats-Unis à opposer son veto à la rémunération de tout employé dont le comportement exposent l’entreprise à des risques excessifs.

Toutes ces mesures sont exceptionnelles de la part du gouvernement américain qui a longtemps rechigné à tout interventionnisme dans le monde des affaires.

Cependant, les plafonnements des rémunérations annoncées par l’Administration Obama pour les sept entreprises qui ont profité le plus de l’aide publique ne vaudront que pour les mois de novembre et décembre.

Lors d’une réunion à Pittsburgh le mois dernier, Barack Obama et d’autres dirigeants des 20 pays les plus développés ont proposé de limiter la rémunération des dirigeants de banques, mais contrairement aux vœux des pays européens, le G-20 a imposé aucune limite sur la remuneration.

The salaries, bonuses, and perquisites of twenty-five leaders of companies aided financially by the federal government of the United States will be reduced by 90%. The federal government of the United States has spent $700 billion to rescue the banking sector and hundreds of millions of dollars to rescue other sectors of the American economy, and Obama does not feel that their executives should be rewarded for their incompetence.

Four banks and financial institutions are affected by austerity measures imposed by the U.S. executive, including giants of the American banking insustry, Bank of America and Citigroup; an insurance company, the now notorious AIG, and two automakers, General Motors and Chrysler.

“We are not against wealth or those who succeed financially, but we will not tolerate business leaders who get huge bonuses when their companies have been rescued by extraordinary assistance from American tax funds,” said Barack Obama.

Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve has proposed new rules of financial conduct for all U.S. businesses. These rules allow the central bank of the United States to veto the pay of any employee whose conduct exposes their companies to undue risks.

All these measures are exceptional from the point of view of the U.S. government, which balked for a long time at any intervention in the business world.

They reflect the anger expressed by American taxpayers about the ongoing abuses in private companies they have helped to rescue from bankruptcy.

However, the pay caps announced by the Obama Administration for the seven companies that have benefited most from public support will only apply in the months of November and December.

Meeting in Pittsburgh last month, Barack Obama and other leaders of the 20 most developed countries had proposed to limit the pay of bank executives, but contrary to the wishes of European countries, the G-20 has imposed no limit on remuneration.

Raul Castro mantene le repression de Fidel in Cuba, dice Human Rights Watch.

Ille typo de detention--secundo le Codice Penal del pais--dice que le governamento pote prender individuos ante que illes committe alicun crimine, a causa del suspicion que illes probabilemente committera un offensa in le futuro.

Secundo Human Rights Watch, le definition de “periculo” tamen es politic e includerea “ulle comportamento que contradice le normas socialiste de Cuba”.

“Le cubanos qui osa criticar le governemento vivi in timor permnente, sapiente que illes pote finalmente vader a prision simplemente pro expresar lor opiniones”, dice José Miguel Vivanco, director pro le Americas de HRW.

Le documento cita diverse casos de detenitos qui ha suffrite abusos violente in le prisiones e extense confinamento solitari.

Raúl Castro mantém a repressão de Fidel em Cuba, diz Human Rights Watch.

Um relatório divulgado pela organização de direitos humanos Human Rights Watch (HRW) sugere que a repressão e a violação dos direitos humanos foram mantidas em Cuba pelo governo de Raúl Castro.

O documento, intitulado “New Castro, Same Cuba” (Novo Castro, Mesma Cuba), é resultado de 60 entrevistas e mais de 40 casos registrados de prisões por “periculosidade social”.

Esse tipo de detenção--prevista no Código Penal do país--diz que o governo pode prender indivíduos antes que cometam algum crime, na suspeita de que possam vir a cometer uma ofensa no futuro.

Segundo o Human Rights Watch, a definição de “perigo”, no entanto, seria política e classificaria “qualquer comportamento que contradiga as normas socialistas de Cuba”.

“Os cubanos que ousam criticar o governo vivem em medo permanente, sabendo que podem acabar na prisão por meramente expressarem suas opiniões”, disse José Miguel Vivanco, diretor para as Américas da HRW.

Segundo o relatório, além das prisões sem acusações, as condições carcerárias dos presos políticos também infringem os direitos humanos.

O documento cita diversos casos de detentos que sofreram abusos violentos nas prisões, além de extenso confinamento solitário.

De acordo com Vivanco, “Após três anos no poder, Raúl Castro tem sido tão brutal quanto seu irmão”.

O documento recomenda que o governo do presidente Barack Obama buscar uma aliança com a União Europeia, América Latina e Canadá para pressionar Cuba a libertar todos os prisioneiros políticos em seis meses.

Uma vez que isso seja realizado, os Estados Unidos devem eliminar o embargo contra o país.

“Acreditamos que o embargo perpetuou a repressão e o regime em Cuba. Também acreditamos que a única forma de alcançar melhorias em Cuba é a pressão internacional calibrada”, disse Human Rights Watch.

Se o governo não libertar os prisioneiros, os membros da aliança deveriam impor sanções contra a ilha, recomenda o relatório, que também diz que “essas medidas devem ser significativas o suficientes para causar impacto no governo cubano, evitando ao mesmo tempo, a imposição de sofrimento a todo o povo cubano”.

Raúl Castro maintains Fidel’s repression of Fidel in Cuba, says Human Rights Watch.

A report published by the human rights organization Human Rights Watch (HRW) suggests that repression and human rights violations in Cuba have been maintained by the government of Raúl Castro.

The document, titled “New Castro, Cuba Same Cuba” is the result of sixty interviews in the field and more than forty reported cases of arrests for “social endangerment.”

This type of detention—under the Criminal Code of the country—says that the government can arrest individuals before they commit a crime, on the suspicion that they are likely to commit an offense in the future.

According to Human Rights Watch, the definition of “danger,” however, is political and would include “any behavior that contradicts the socialist norms of Cuba.”

“The Cubans who dare to criticize the government live in constant fear, knowing they can end up in jail for merely expressing their opinions,” said Jose Miguel Vivanco, HRW’s director for the Americas.

According to the report, in addition to arrests without charges, the political prisoners’ conditions of detention also violate human rights.

The document cites several cases of detainees who have suffered violent abuses in prisons and extensive solitary confinement.

According to Vivanco, “After three years in power, Raúl Castro has been as brutal as his brother.”

The document recommends that the government of President Barack Obama seek an alliance with the European Union, Latin America, and Canada to pressure Cuba to release all political prisoners in six months.

Once that is done, the United States should remove the embargo against the country.

“We believe the embargo has perpetuated the oppressive regime in Cuba. We also believe that the only way to achieve improvements in Cuba is calibrated international pressure,” said Human Rights Watch.

If the government does not free the prisoners, members of the alliance should impose sanctions against the island, the report recommends, adding that “these measures should be significant enough to impact the Cuban government while avoiding at the same time the imposition of suffering on the the entire Cuban population.”

Un nombre croissant de familles américaines a du mal à se nourrir. Un rapport publié par le ministère américain de l’Agriculture note que la situation s’est dégradée au cours des cinq dernières années. Le rapport annuel sur la sécurité alimentaire aux Etats-Unis chiffre à 17 millions le nombre ménages qui ne parvenaient pas à se procurer suffisamment de nourriture en 2008, ce qui représente 14,6% de l’ensemble des ménages américains. Au total, 49 millions d’Américains, dont 17 millions d’enfants, ne disposaient pas d’assez de nourriture en 2008.

Le nombre de familles dans cette situation précaire s’est accrue de 11% par rapport à l’année 2007, indique le ministère américain de l’Agriculture, en précisant que ces données sont les plus désastreuses depuis qu’on à commencer à les compiler en 1995.

La cause fondamentale de cette insécurité alimentaire aux Etats-Unis est la pauvreté qui, selon le rapport du ministère américain de l’Agriculture, se traduit par le manque de ressources pour faire face à des besoins essentiels comme la nourriture, le logement et les soins de santé.

Ces chiffres sont un appel aux autorités américaines pour qu’elles s’attaquent sérieusement au problème de la sécurité alimentaire et de la nutrition dans ce pays, a déclaré le ministère américain de l’Agriculture, Tom Vilsack.

Dans le cadre de son plan de relance de l’économie, l’administration Obama a pris diverses mesures pour faire face à la situation. Ce plan inclut une augmentation substantielle des ressources du programme d’assistance alimentaire du ministère de l’Agriculture au bénéfice de quelques 36 millions et demi de nécessiteux.

En outre, le ministère américain de l’Agriculture fourni, chaque jour, un repas complet à 31 millions d’écoliers. Par ailleurs, près de la moitié des enfants américains et leurs mères ont accès au programme WIC, qui leur fournit des vivres pour une alimentation saine.

"En ces temps économiques difficiles, le nombre des nécessiteux augmente, et il est important de tout mettre en œuvre pour que ceux-ci reçoivent, dans la dignité et le respect, l’assistance dont ils on besoin", a déclaré Vilsack.

A growing number of American families are struggling to feed themselves. A report released by the secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture notes that the situation has deteriorated over the past five years. The annual report on food security in the United States amounted to 17 million households that failed to get enough food in 2008, representing 14.6% of all U.S. households. All together, 49 million Americans, including 17 million children did not have enough food in 2008.

The number of families in this precarious situation has increased by 11% compared to 2007, says the U.S. Department of Agriculture, stating that these data are the most disastrous since it began to compile them in 1995.

The fundamental cause of food insecurity in the United States is poverty, which, according to the report of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, results in the lack of resources needed to meet basic needs like food, housing and health care.

These figures are a call for U.S. authorities to seriously address the problem of food security and nutrition in this country, "said U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack.

As part of its plan to revive the economy, the Obama administration has taken various measures to cope with the situation. This plan includes a substantial increase in resources for the food-assistance program of the Department of Agriculture to benefit some 36.5 million people who are in need.

In addition, the U.S. Department of Agriculture provides full meals each day to 31 million schoolchildren. Moreover, nearly half of American children and their mothers have access to WIC, which provides food for a healthy diet.

"In these difficult economic times, the number of needy people is growing, and it is important to make every effort to ensure that they receive, with dignity and respect, the assistance that they need," Vilsack said.

Deficit budgetari in le Statos Unite

(Languages of this post: Interlingua, French, English)

Le deficit budgetari del Statos Unite arrivara a 1,6 trilliones de dollars iste anno e arrivara a 9 trilliones in le proxime decennio.

Iste duo numeros astronomic establi nove records in le historia del Statos Unite e es ben superior al ultime predictiones publicate in april.

Le grandor del deficit va a obligar le Statos Unite a facer se prestar plus que unquam in su historia e augmentara le debito del pais a 23 billiones desde hodie usque 2019. Iste debito representarea plus que 76% de su producto national brute, que es sin precedente post le fin del Secunde Guerra Mundial.

Le Presidente Obama declarava que iste debito ha su origines in le crise economic international, cuje semines esseva plantate durante le presidentia de George Bush. Obama admitteva totevia que le recession is multo plus grave que expectate.

Pro essayar a reassecurar le mercatos financiari e su opposition, Obama ha nominate Ben Bernanke, un republicano, como chef del Reserva Federal, le banca central American, pro le quatro proxime annos.

“Ben Bernanke ha dirigite le Reserva Federal trans un del pejor crises que le Statos Unite e le mundo ha cognoscite”, affirmava le presidente del Statos Unite.

Multes ex le amicos democrate de Barack Obama habeva sperate que le Reserva Rederal esserea assignate al Democrata Lawrence Summers, qui in iste momento es le consiliero economic del administration de Obama. Numerose democratas e certe economistas anque ha criticate Ben Bernanke pro non haber previdite le crise e pro haber respondite a illo dante privilegios al bancas durante que ille oblidava le problemas de americanos ordinari.

Ma le Casa Blanc ha annunciate que Lawrence Summers approba le decision de Barack Obama de nominar Ben Bernanke como chef del Reserva Federal un altere vice.

Le déficit budgétaire des États Unis atteindra 1,6 trillions de dollars cette année et atteindra 9 trillions dans la prochaine décennie.

Ces deux chiffres astronomiques établissent de nouveaux records dans l’histoire des Etats-Unis et sont nettement supérieurs aux dernières prévisions publiées en avril.

L’ ampleur du déficit va obliger les États-Unis à emprunter plus que jamais dans son histoire et soulèvera la dette du pays à 23 milliards d’ici à 2019. Cette dette représenterait alors plus de 76% de son produit national brut, qui est sans précédent depuis la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Le Président Obama a déclaré cette dette origine dans la crise économique internationale, dont les graines ont été semées au cours de la présidence de George Bush. Obama a reconnu, toutefois, que la récession est beaucoup plus grave que prévu.

Pour tenter de rassurer les marchés financiers et son opposition, M. Obama a nommé Ben Bernanke, un républicain, à la tête de la Réserve Fédérale, la banque centrale américaine, pour les quatre prochaines années.

“Ben Bernanke a dirigé la Reserve Fédérale à travers l’une des pires crises que les Etats-Unis et le monde aient connues”, a affirmé le président des États-Unis.

De nombreux amis démocrates de Barack Obama avaient souhaité que la Reserve Fédérale soit confiée au Démocrate Lawrence Summers, qui est en ce moment le conseiller économique du chef de la Maison Blanche. De nombreux Démocrates et certains économistes avaient aussi reproché à Ben Bernanke de n’avoir pas vu venir la crise et d’y avoir réagi en privilégiant les banques et en oubliant les problèmes des Américains ordinaires.

Mais la Maison Blanche a fait savoir que Lawrence Summers approuve la décision de Barack Obama de de nommer à nouveau Ben Bernanke à la tête de la Réserve fédérale.

The budget deficit of the United States will reach $1.6 trillion this year and will reach $9.trillion in the next decade.

Both of these astronomical figures set new records in the history of the United States and are well above the ones in the last forecast issued in April.

The size of the deficit will force the United States to borrow more than any time in its history and will raise the country’s debt to 23 trillion by 2019. That debt would then represent over 76% of its gross national product, which is without precedent since the end of the Second World War.

President Obama said this debt originated in the world economic crises, whose seeds were sown during the presidency of George Bush. Obama acknowledged, however, that the recession is a lot more serious than expected.

To try to reassure financial markets and his opposition, Obama appointed Ben Bernanke, a Republican, to head the Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States, for the next four years.

"Ben Bernanke has headed the Federal Reserve through the worst crises the United States and the world have known," said the U.S. President.

Many of Barack Obama’s democratic friends had hoped that the Federal Reserve would be given to the Democrat Lawrence Summers, who is currently the chief economic adviser to the White House. Many Democrats and some economists have also criticized Ben Bernanke for not having foreseen the crisis and have responded by focusing on banks and ignoring the problems of ordinary Americans.

But the White House announced that Lawrence Summers approves of Barack Obama’s decision to reappoint to reappoint Ben Bernanke to head the Federal Reserve.

But the White House announced that Lawrence Summers is in favor of Barack Obama’s decision to name Ben Bernanke to lead the Federal Reserve once again.
