Can they fix the world economy?
As G7 leaders gather for high-level meetings in Tokyo this week, investors know better than to expect any quick fixes on the euro crisis, the U.S. fiscal cliff or stimulus pledges from China.Continue reading →
As G7 leaders gather for high-level meetings in Tokyo this week, investors know better than to expect any quick fixes on the euro crisis, the U.S. fiscal cliff or stimulus pledges from China.A New Call for One Party Rule
The mainstream propagandists are reporting that there is a new call for one party rule in Washington DC to help the economy. This statement really took me aback as it is my understanding that there is already one party rule in Washington DC for the economy, and that party would be the Zionist party, […]Continue reading →
Dividends: U.S. Continuing Descent Toward Recession
We have been tracking a new potential indicator of the level of economic distress in the U.S. economy: the number of publicly-traded companies declaring whether they will act to cut their dividends each month. The data is now out for the just completed month of September 2012, which Standard and Poor has published in Excel […]Continue reading →
U.S. Congress mulls expanding Iran sanctions
Iran’s economy has been badly hit by U.S. and European sanctions imposed to try to pressure the Iranian leadership to stop pursuing nuclear weapons. U.S. lawmakers are considering expanding American economic sanctions on Iran – measures that already have helped push that country’s currency into free fall but have not yet convinced Tehran to abandon […]Continue reading →
Fourteen Critical Races Could Determine Our Future
A somewhat overlooked battle is raging in fourteen states which may determine the future of our country during the next four years. The United States Senate’s composition — not just the presidency — will be determined on November 6. Simply stated, if the Republicans pick up a net of three Senate seats and Romney wins, […]Continue reading →
A Jobs Report Conspiracy?
Well, isn’t that convenient? The Obama campaign desperately needed the last employment report to be released before the election to show that the unemployment rate had fallen below 8 percent, and somehow it magically happened. Even though non-farm payroll employment only increased by 114,000 last month (not enough to even keep up with population growth), […]Continue reading →
A Historic Debate Failure
By the time of Thursday night’s debate between Vice President Biden and Congressman Ryan, the polls will reflect the early consequences of President Obama‘s disastrous debate performance from Wednesday night. Mitt Romney had a superb night and the contrast between his calm and in-command performance and that of a flailing, rambling president could not have […]Continue reading →
Housing still impediment to U.S. growth: Fed officials
The Inexhaustible Vice President, Or: Of Hogs, Acorns and Joe Biden
The worst gaffe a politician can make, it’s been said, is not the mistakes he makes on the campaign trail but when he tells the truth. The vice president of the United States, who’s a kind of genius at embarrassing himself, did it again the other day when, almost in passing, he mentioned the hallmark […]Continue reading →
Romney By A Knockout
WASHINGTON – Finally, for the first time in this election year, Barack Obama couldn’t hide from the economy and the recession his policies have painfully prolonged. The economic elephant in the presidential debate at the University of Denver couldn’t be ignored any longer, as Obama has done for most of the year. It was center […]Continue reading →
Romney goes on offense, forcing Obama to defend record
DENVER — An energetic Mitt Romney launched a series of attacks against President Obama here Wednesday night, calling into question the president’s record on the economy, health care and the deficit, and arguing that he would take the country in a fundamentally different direction. Obama sought to parry Romney’s criticisms, charging that his presidential rival […]Continue reading →
It's Almost a Time for Choosing Jackie Gingrich Cushman
In order to win next month, Republican nominee Mitt Romney will have to articulate the reason why the choice for him is right. The choice has to be about more than Mitt Romney, and really about more than President Barack Obama. The compelling choice should contrast the very different futures each man would seek to […]Continue reading →
The End of Men?
In her new book, “The End of Men,” Hanna Rosin says we are on the verge of matriarchy. Rosin doesn’t exactly celebrate the demise of men, but she is puzzled by men’s reluctance to let go of old gender roles: “The women take on new roles with gusto, while the men take them on […]Continue reading →
