by Mike McCune – The Federal Reserve is about to open meetings today. That explains the stock surge yesterday. Wall Street is paralyzed and needs Ben Bernanke’s unconditional support.

by Craig Masters “We’ll go through these signatures with a fine-toothed comb,” Morse told the TV station KDVR. “and we’ll file some protests with the Secretary of State’s office because we know a lot of these signatures were gathered based on misinformation and lies.” A politician claiming only the opposition lies; what a surprise.

by Mike McCune – American market indexes reached all-time highs on April’s unemployment and jobs report today. The markets ignore corresponding reports showing service sector jobs are in retreat and factory orders showed the sharpest decline in seven months.(1) How can the facts be reconciled?

by Mike McCune – The Federal government has a spending problem. The Federal government has more debt than it can possibly pay. The Federal government is now monetizing (buying) its own debt at the rate of $85 billion per month. So how do Federal regulators react to the above problems? They want to [...]

by Mike McCune – American over 30 know about the infamous Russian “Black Market” wherein the population did most of its food and illicit items trade. Since it was officially off-the-records by the government, but necessary to sustain the population, the term “Black Market” was applied. It will not come as a [...]

by Mike McCune – The jobs report for February came in nicely and Wall Street cheered. Meanwhile the January jobs report was slashed by 25% from a gain of 157,000 to 119,000 and Wall Street yawned. That is because the deceit must be maintained. According to Washington, America has been in a recovery since [...]

by Michael McCune – The normal person fears to tread the swampy ground of tax loopholes and deductions–that’s why the unofficial-official business of tax preparation and legal tax defense has been the biggest single growth sector since the 1950s.

Debt, public debt to be exact, is no longer a problem in America–at least according to the Democrats following their big win last week.

Solyndra was the first boondoggle of the stimulus.

The latest, [...]

The United Nations just issued numbers on food inflation that contradicts Federal Reserve Chairman Ben “BS” Bernanke’s assessments. “Hunger Games” may not be just a movie much longer. The UN food agency reported Friday that food prices are “rising again.” Old BS just began QE3 precisely because there was no movement in the economy and a little inflation couldn’t [...]

I have often cited the various methods the government utilizes to keep the unemployment figure at a manageable level. Today, after the official unemployment rate fell to 7.8%, it became apparent just how blatantly political the process has become. In September the U.S. economy added just 114,000 jobs. Just to keep up with population [...]

The Federal Reserve’s decision to proceed on an open-ended asset-buying policy is being well-received by other central banks but few others.(1) The problem for Ben Bernanke and the U.S. dollar is the move’s aim and its outcome are not the same.
