Madam Speaker, Vice President Biden, members of Congress, and the American people: (Well, he's not lying yet.) When I spoke here last winter, this nation was facing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. We were losing an average of 700,000 jobs per month. Credit was frozen. And our financial system was on the verge of collapse. (And its gotten worse.) As any American who is still looking for work or a way to pay their bills will tell you, we are by no means out of the woods. [more...]

Dragnet: On Assignment in the Nation’s Capitol - bobmccarty.com 09/09/2009 As a youngster, I was a huge fan of the television show, Dragnet .  With Sgt.

Gordon Brown urges EU to back new economic order

It’s pretty transparent that the new world order Brown keeps shilling for is being marketed to us as a way to ‘get the bankers’. This is a trick, since it will simply deliver economic power into the hands of a centralized clique of international bankers. The proper solution would be simply to prosecute and prohibit forms of fraud such as derivatives, which always cause the problem in the first place, like clockwork , at the behest of the aforementioned clique .

Forgiven Debt Really is Income

There was a pretty good post over at WiseBread yesterday on how if a credit card company forgives some of what you owe, what was forgiven is income you have to pay taxes on. On the one hand, this is a point worth repeating because it seems to surprise most people. On the other hand, the post neglects to mention an important exception, and, moreover, feeds into the belief that this is an irrational fluke of the tax code. It isn’t. It makes sense. You owe Credit Card Corporation (CCC) $5000. [more...]
