Economic Re_something....

june_10_09.jpg

I'm afraid I don't share the rosy news about the economy. Banks giving back bailout money is just banks trying to get the government out of their hair.

Wall Street is still filled with crooks. Main Street is still hurting. And it's not going to get better anytime soon.

What Obama should say about Iran

june_22_09.jpg

Nothing or little if anything.
We should not add fuel to any fire. Or stoke the current power structure. The Iranian people are doing a fine job by themselves provoking their government.

Sometimes not meddling in others business is the right course of action.

GM - BM

I guess they could have let GM fail. And it still might. But they had to try to keep it afloat.
Even if it just lets the country down easy.

Army, Scared

If you want to put fear and horror into the American military complex, just announce your gay.
Nothing scares those Army, Navy and Marine folks more.

The situation with Dan Choi is a prime example.

Historical scale: Democratic Party 2002

may-14_09.jpg

The same thing people are saying about the GOP today they were saying about the Democrats just a few years ago.
The GOP will resurface.

A.I.G. still M.I.A

Today, AIG folks said they'd need 3-5 years to right themselves and repay the American taxpayers.
Why not use that time to sell the company off in bits and pieces and close down. I wouldn't be sad about that.

Keep our eye on the ball

apr_28_09.jpg

The press has had a lot of new fluff stories to focus on in the past 48 hours. Focus needs to stay where it's most suspect...Wall Street profits are up, salaries and bonuses are on track and we need to know why.

Why The President BitchSlapped The Car Guys...

Like a parent angry at a child for abusing drugs and missing curfew, Obama just came down hard on the auto industry. Threatening to take away their allowance and let them die.
Is it just words?

Real World wake up call

mar-16_09.jpg

While the auto workers are being told to give concessions in order to help the car industry survive, it's Wall Street execs that need to wake up and give in. Especially those AIG folks. WTF?
You're company lost billions last year - no one in this industry deserves extra cash. Sorry.

Financial Conventional Wisdom

mar-5-1_09.jpg

Who should you trust these days when it comes to your financial situation?

It's pretty clear the experts don't know what they're talking about. Including the news media. Otherwise, they'd never have gotten us into this mess. And they'd be more rational in solutions on how to get us out of this crisis they had a major part in creating.

Conventional wisdom these days: Trust your gut. It's bound to be as right or wrong as the supposed experts are.
