Not a surprise that Karl Rove, ‘Bush’s brain’ would have a view of the lead-up to the Iraq war totally out of sync with proven facts.

“Scheherazade Rehman discusses the likelihood of Greece receiving a bailout from the European Union” Arguments are strong that Goldman Sachs contributed to the fall of Greece just to make a buck…

Goldman Sachs helped the Greek government to mask the true extent of its deficit with the help of a derivatives deal that legally circumvented the EU Maastricht deficit rules. At some point the so-called cross currency swaps will mature, and swell the country’s already bloated deficit….

Creative accounting took priority when it came to totting up government debt.Since 1999, the Maastricht rules threaten to slap hefty fines on euro member countries that exceed the budget deficit limit of three percent of gross domestic product. Total government debt mustn’t exceed 60 percent…

Greece’s debt managers agreed a huge deal with the savvy bankers of US investment bank Goldman Sachs at the start of 2002. The deal involved so-called cross-currency swaps in which government debt issued in dollars and yen was swapped for euro debt for a certain period — to be exchanged back into the original currencies at a later date.

“Republicans and Democrats are like a husband and wife fighting over whether to have a health care bill baby.”

Parts one and two of an unplanned two part special comment about end of life counseling. Sadly, Keith is experiencing the matter first hand as he copes and watches is sick father rise and falter along the path to home or beyond…

Glenn Beck makes an idiot of himself once again… unfortunately he, along with the people who adore him, is too stupid to know it.

Spending freezes historically worsen economic recessions rather than stimulate them, so what is Obama doing? Rachel gives a great argument. After watching the video read my rant below about why US taxpayers are subsidizing manufacturing jobs in China and how it is bad for the country.

Presently, China is the primary supplier of generators for traditional multi-megawatt wind farms. According to Rebecca Smith in the Wall Street Journal, October 30, 2009, a proposed 600MW wind farm in Texas relying heavily on federal subsidies, grants and tax credits for funding, is expected to create 2,800 jobs with only 15% of those jobs in the US and the rest flowing to China.
The Shepherd’s Flat Wind Farm slated for 2012 in Arlington, Oregon includes a $1.4B contract to General Electric for 338 turbines with the electricity destined for California. Oregon has the manufacturing infrastructure in place to produce the generators and create long-term family wage jobs right here at home.

Thank goodness for Jon Stewart, how come MSM doesn’t push hard with questions and debate like Stewart does?
