Frying Monkey.

Again imagine the COST! Beijing’s central bank governor’s idea = FAIL

You must have missed the overall scenerio here. The world financial system has already failed. Any measure to fix it is going to cost. So far the cost to Western nations to of the decision to bail…

The president also pointed to the current strength of American money. “The reason the dollar is strong right now is because investors consider the United States the strongest economy in the world with the most stable political system in the world.”

Crushing debt? If politicians in America truly cared

Good post. Agree.

And I feel strangely compelled to add, that the "something" that "will give have to give" is taking place right now.

The financial and social disaster we are now undergoing will be much clearer in retrospect as it…

Seriously, what happens when people are idle and bored is that quite often they abuse substances. Never mind when people are depressed. One thing cannabis can do for you is calm the nerves and numb the pain, alcohol will do the same, but that's not banned. Take too much cannabis…

Talk about blind adoration. If "ALL sides" are being considered, they sure are not being considered equally. You just need to follow the money trail and see…

By the way, keep in mind here quite apart from the issue of what the bonus payouts to CEOS are supposed to be actually awarding them for, there is the underlying issue that the money is being supplied by the American people from their tax, i.e. the bailouts the Obama…

It seems that nothing makes a Democrat senator more angry than being exposed. As in, the emperor and his entourage have no clothes.

The truth is out, the Democratic political party represents nothing less than the most fraudulent and criminal aspects of Wall Street. How to hide that now? Never…

smithinjapan taniwha: "Here's another interesting bit of information in no small way related to the rest. The bailout plan that has served AIG so well was put together by Obama's treasury secretary, Henry Paulson, the former Goldman Sachs chairman!" Quick question... who brought in Paulson?

Obama does angry with a smile. But how else can he play this. He is after all the cheerleader for the very same team that gave us this financial crises. The mega-wealthy who are bent on maintaining their grip on their ability to make increasing profits and through that their…

Actually. Hello? The bell is now tolling. Capitalism is a stumbling zombie eating anything that's moving. In fact, it is eating itself.

A word about social democracy. It is not socialism. The reason it isn't is that it is capitalism. More of the same tweaks. Jean, you need to read…
