______________

My Beneath the Waves programs will temporarily be

on ‘hiatus’ between January 1 to July 2018 for me to

concentrate on my personal projects and research for

publications.  During the interim, I will continue

to work with KGGV station managerRoger Coryell

on the formation of  the “Friends of KGGV”

Thanks for 3 years of your support.  I will be back

with more KGGV history and music diverse programs

later in the year. You can keep in contact via Facebook.

The Scandals of Goldman Sachs

According to the New York Times Goldman Sachs is called “the most hated of companies in America”.  The company was accused of sinking Greece into a huge financial ditch while trying to dodge EU budget oversights, selling mortgage-backed securities (MBSs) before the housing market collapsed and pocketing billions of US taxpayers’ dollars from the bailout of insurance giant AIG.

Without a Home: PART 2 of 2

Since the1980s the total number of homeless persons and the failure of the mental health system have become a difficult political issue. It is estimated, in part the product of the deinstitutionalization movement, 30% to 50% of homeless persons were seriously mentally ill and were being seen in “ever increasing numbers.”

Without a Home: PART 1 of 2

A person technically is considered homeless if he, she, or they "lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence." The de-institutionalization of patients from state psychiatric hospitals, supply-side economics policies of Republican Ronald Reagan and ineffectiveness of programs/policies were factors which exacerbated the homeless population.
