Senators near bipartisan health deal
07-28-2009
•
AP
A bipartisan group of senators is closing in
on a health care compromise that omits key Democratic priorities but
seeks to hold down costs, as lawmakers on both sides of the U.S.
Capitol labor to deliver sweeping health legislation to President Obama
After weeks of secretive talks, three Democrats
and three Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee were edging
closer to a compromise that excludes a requirement many congressional
Democrats seek for large businesses to offer coverage to their workers.
Nor would there be a provision for a government insurance option,
despite Obama's support for such a plan, officials said.

Fed job approval rating lower than IRS: Gallup poll
07-28-2009
•
Reuters
Americans think the Federal Reserve is doing a worse job than even the much-maligned Internal Revenue Service.
Only 30 percent of Americans think the Federal Reserve's Board of
Governors is doing a good job despite the central bank's unprecedented
efforts to battle a crippling recession, according to a Gallup Poll
released on Monday.

NASA has an expedition out there this summer and I am quite sure they are trying to map the real present extent of multi year ice.
If most multi year ice disappears by 2012, then sea ice coverage will consist of fairly thin one and two year ice that will be vulnerable to any decent wind system, even though it may still provide a sea ice cover as erratic as that presently in the Bay.

Politicians Accused of Meddling in Bank Rules
07/28/2009
•
The New York Times
Despite the apparent conflict with both bankers and bank regulators, the Financial Crisis Advisory Group included a number of people with experience in those fields. Among them were Gerry Corrigan, a former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and now an official with Goldman Sachs; Nobuo Inaba, a former executive director of the Bank of Japan; Gene Ludwig, a former comptroller of the currency; and Klaus-Peter Müller, the chairman of the supervisory board of Commerzbank in Germany.

Power Shifts in Plan for Capital Calamity
02/27/2009
•
The New York Times
WASHINGTON " A shift in authority has given military officials at the White House a bigger operational role in creating a backup government if the nation’s capital were “decapitated” by a terrorist attack or other calamity, according to current and former officials involved in the decision.

New Jersey's Corruption Scandal: The Israeli Connection
07/28/2009
•
Time
The Shas media reacted to the entire scandal with countercharges of anti-Semitism. Yitzhak Kakun, editor of the Shas newspaper Yom Le'Yom told the Jerusalem Post: "The FBI purposely attempted to arrest as many rabbis as possible at once in an attempt to humiliate them." Meanwhile, Nissim Ze'ev, a Shas Knesset member, said, "The U.S. police are trying to make it seem as though there is some kind of Jewish mafia."
When in doubt, scream anti-Semitism and Holocaust and all your worries, inmoralities & wrongdoing will disappear like magic. Oy!

HAWAII ADMITS TO SECRET RECORDS ON OBAMA
7/27/09
•
APFN Messageboard
From: Andy Martin for U. S. Senator andyforussenator@aol.com
To: apfn@apfn.org
Martin says Monday's admission by Hawai'i health officials that the state still maintains secret files on Obama makes asses out of Bill O'Reilly, CNN "researchers" and the CNN news managers that tried to intimidate Lou Dobbs. Hawai'i officials admitted (confessed?) on July 27th they still maintain secret files on Obama that have not been opened to the public. Martin has a pending lawsuit seeking public access to these historical archives in Hawai'i State custody. Martin says the latest disclosure by Hawai'i that the secret files still exist is going to explode the controversy and corrode support for Obama's presidency. Since filing his lawsuit in 2008, Martin has become a candidate for U. S. Senator in Illinois in 2010 More...

Family Security Matters
When United States citizens reach the age of 65 they are forced into Medicare and out of any private insurance option for coverage of their healthcare. The government sets the dollar amount doctors, other healthcare providers, and hospitals will be paid for the treatments of a Medicare patient. When a Medicare payment is decided, often the fee is based on which special interest group lobbies the federal government most effectively. No efficacy research for a particular treatment and no market forces enter into this entirely arbitrary decision made in Washington, D.C. Once a fee is established, Medicare pays 80% of the allowable charge. Twenty per cent may be covered by supplemental insurance or patient out of pocket payment. The patient cannot pay his own money for care above and beyond the Medicare allowable"it is against the law. More....

Video: We Now Have A Total Gangster Government
6/14/09
•
Youtube
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) speaking on the House floor: Now we've moved into the realm of gangster government. We have gangster government when the Federal Government has set up a new cartel and private businesses now have to go begging with their hand out to their local, hopefully well politically connected, Congressman or their Senator so they can buy a peace offering for that local business. Is that the kind of country we are going to have in the future? Video

Markets Do Not Work?
07-28-2009
•
arclein
There is nothing that I find more annoying that the refrain that ‘markets do not work’ that arises whenever we have a crisis or even when someone dislikes an economic outcome. Markets as an abstraction can be always shown to be functioning quite nicely. The difficulty arises when the market is deliberately or accidently distorted to misplaced advantage. We have in fact a barbarian horde attacking our economy at all times with battalions of lawyers and paid flacks.

SEC Bans Naked Short Selling Permanently
07-28-2009
•
arclein
Before someone wishes to tell me that I am wrong, I want someone to explain when was the last time they received a fee for lending stock to anyone. And believe me if you have stock lodged it generally can be lent, especially if you have a margin account. Even a trivial debt is enough to supply a whole portfolio.
Naked short selling avoids all the niceties. The trader sells short and forgets about it. If the price rises it then can get dicey, but he is packing several positions to play around with.
