The public is on to the lie.

Exxon Pipe Burst Spills Oil into Mont. River - TIME: "(LAUREL, Mont.) — Hundreds of barrels of crude oil spilled into Montana's Yellowstone River after an ExxonMobil pipeline beneath the riverbed ruptured, sending a plume 25 miles downstream and forcing temporary evacuations, officials said."

Formula for fair corporate pay
David Sirota: Shining the Spotlight on the Corporate Pay Gap - Truthdig: "Replace the loophole-ridden corporate tax system with a flat rate that is then multiplied by the CEO-to-worker pay ratio. This would create a tax incentive for salary fairness, while also allowing corporations to choose their own tax rate. If a company wants a low tax bill, it can shrink the chasm between what it pays its suits and what it pays its rank-and-file." Now here is a decent idea. Shrink the suits. Simplify things.

ICE targets poor and vulnerable
ICE audits disproportionately target lower-income workers, say immigration experts | The Washington Independent: "The Obama administration has relied on I-9 audits as a replacement for workplace raids, which were used frequently under the Bush administration and generated a great deal of bad publicity for ICE and the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security. I-9 audits, according the administration, place more of the burden of enforcement on employers rather than the immigrants themselves" So much for give us your tired, your hungry, your poor.

PolitiFact | The Obameter: Restore Superfund program so that polluters pay for clean-ups: "'Will restore the strength of the Superfund program by requiring polluters to pay for the cleanup of contaminated sites they created.'" It should be called Politi-distortion. When GOP votes down the President, the promise is delayed, pending sensible electoral remedies.
