  • Do not care if they are R od D, yet the fact is Slick Willie Clinton got his 'surplus' by stealing from Social Security. Reagan 'stole' by changing the way unemployment and other items are calculated to then get the officially manipulated numbers.

• 2 Bahrain opposition supporters die police custody

  Sat Apr 9, 2011
  • So when is NATO and the UN going to go into Bahrain as they are doing in Libya? Or is it that the USA President's close friendship and the usual oil interests going to let the Bahrain dictator murder as many citizens as he so chooses? Well, will it be NATO/UN action or is this hypocrisy?

• Republicans back 1-week budget as US eyes shutdown

  Wed Apr 6, 2011
  • The US Gov is spending over $2,500 billion a year and they can not figure a way to cut a very small $60B. Meanwhile each year the deficit grows nearly $1,500B. Do the math, can you smell the hypocrisy and worthlessness of the US Government and their Kabuki theater.

• Israel to Germany: drop Palestinian statehood plan

  • Marc, have you ever seen the Warsaw wall and how Jews were treated in the 1940's. Now compare that to today's wall Israel built and how they treat those in Gaza. Israel using illegal phosphor bombs and bombing UN buildings months ago does little for their 'credibility' too.

• Fed members raise specter of higher interest rates

  Tue Apr 5, 2011
  • The Fed can't raise rates as it would sink the USA further into debt paying off unnecessary interest plus the Fed's own balance sheets would then be very problematic as well. Fed's jabber-jawing is in hopes of keeping status quo now and not let the market run away in the 'wrong direction'.

• Bernanke says Fed will improve oversight role

  Mon Apr 4, 2011
  • Bernanke said "It's one of the reasons the recovery is not as strong as we'd like it to be". You mean the Fed buying nearly 80% of newly issued US debt via POMO is not good enough? An if THAT is not good enough, you can count on QE3 of course.
