Economy? Economy? We don’t need no stinking economy.

“BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IS NOT FROM AMERICA, IS A TERRORIST AND A MUSLIM!” Shout McCain-Palin. Man, these guys have reached an all-time low, even for the GOP.  They are trying to distract us from thinking about the economy. At a Florida GOP rally, a Sheriff in full black regalia announced…

Failed bailout bill may have authorized privatizing social security

Unlike some in Congress, I took the time to read the House version of the proposed bailout of Wall Street.  It failed and I believe that was the right thing. In Section 118 of the House bill under “funding” the bill said "the Secretary [of Treasury] may use any authority…
