The problem with this country is BOTH the Democrats and Republicans. Anyone who seriously thinks that one side isn’t corrupt or slaves to Corporate America hasn’t done an adequate job of paying attention. To the Republicans: The GW administration will go down in History as one of the worst administrations. They eroded your constitutional rights, expanded the power of the wealthy elite, invaded countries under false pretenses, destroyed diplomatic relations with the rest of the world, and spent money like it was going out of style. To the Democrats: Obama is a dud. He promised much and has turned out to be another corporate lackey. He made deals with big pharma to ensure you could not get your medication cheaper elsewhere, he flip flopped on military tribunals, he refuses to fix health care properly through nationalization or single payer, he populates his inner circle with more Wall Street insiders, he spends money on bailouts and useless stimulus packages.

First, why do we need a commission. If Congress did its job they would come up with a combination of meaningful spending cuts and tax increases to balance budget and reduce deficit. Second, why would the Republicans not participate. They can either prove themselves to be part of the solution or they can be part of the problem. It is becoming more and more apparent that the Republicans have no plan and no agenda to solve America’s problems. They are becoming nothing more than an obstructionist party that is controlled by people to far to the right.

Hank Paulson was instrumental in turning Goldman Sach’s into a public company. Suprisingly he only let Lehman fail, and watched as Bear Stearns disappeared in the blink of an eye. However, when Goldman Sach’s could go down, the Treasury under the leadership of Hank Paulson rushes in to save the day. Wall Street is cutting off their noses to spite their faces. Wall Street can pay themselves all US dollars in the world, but once they bankrupt the country they will be in the same boat as the rest of America.

I suspect California municipal governments are in the worst shape of all. The state is beyond broke and is currently confiscating both county and city revenue in an effort to mitigate budget deficits and lessen fiscal cuts.

You know, for the past couple of years or so, I have heard so many supposedly smart and connected people say, uh, “It’s almost impossible to recognize a bubble when you’re in it” when the subject of our last el-grande bubble of real estate comes up. You know, the housing bubble I recognized in maybe ‘02, that 90% of others were ‘blindsided” by, including geniuses like Greenspan, Bernancke, 99% of the banks in the WORLD, rating agencies, investment houses, insurance companies, 75 % of the American public, and, of course, Fannie/Freddie, the black hole for the right side of my pay stub. But, for the past almost year, I’ve heard many smart and connected people tell me that the safety of bonds and bond funds are in a bubble. They were in a bubble last summer, and they are more than certain about that, it seems.

[...] Since 2007, when Nancy Pelosi took over as Speaker, I have to vote “no” so often that I am reminded of a year when Democrat Ann Richards was Governor of Texas, and Democrat Pete Laney was Speaker of the Texas House, and I actually …[Continue Reading] [...]
