37 STATES ALLOW CORPORATIONS TO GET RICH OFF PRISON LABOR

[woo me with science]

13. If you care about this abuse of human beings for corporate profit, you should care

that this administration is escalating and enabling it.

This is the problem with the Third Way, on virtually every issue important to the One Percent. The unwillingness to take a stand when a Democrat is complicit is exactly why these abuses continue. You claim to care about these issues, but you put your fingers in your ears and start the personal swipes as soon as it is pointed out that a Democratic President is escalating them.

Republicans have long wanted to pursue these sorts of exploitative corporate policies. What has changed is that the Democratic Party is no longer standing between the country and these predatory policies.

You can't claim to care about these issues and then pooh pooh when a Democratic President aggressively escalates them.

Why is the Obama administration increasing government support for private prisons?

Why did Obama deliberately select the owner of a private prison consulting firm as the new Director of the United States Marshals Service (USMS)?

And why are billions of dollars in federal contracts going to private prisons under the USMS Director Obama selected?
