		<title>Post Bretton Woods Solutions won&#8217;t please the US.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Policy initiatives focused solely on bailing out banks and neglecting final demand have followed their inevitable course resulting in the contraction of consumer spending, massive job losses, and credit impairment rendering piecemeal, trickle-down policies now ineffective if not absurd&#8211;a domino effect of less and less demand fueling greater and greater contraction. The pain is becoming so widespread that non-bank [...]]]></description>

		<title>Of Cartels or Corporate Fascism?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Enthralled deep into the credit crisis of their own making, banks have their hands out for more bailout money and are sticking together to dictate terms of acceptance from our Government. This may be the epitome of arrogance, but cartels have that power. For example, banks have refused loans with caveats not to pay dividends or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Economic Solutions before D-Day?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is widespread agreement among US economists that America needs another massive fiscal stimulus plan. No final conclusions have been reached on whether it will be multi-staged or one giant prolonged spending infusion until growth takes hold again.  Democrats, pre-election, had already decided that a significant infrastructure campaign would yield the most benefit because it would both create jobs [...]]]></description>

		<title>Obama&#8217;s Victory to have Winners &#038; Losers in the Stock Market</title>
		<description><![CDATA[America has spoken and it handily rejected the Republican agenda that was a reminder of the  Bush Administration&#8217;s dismal eight years. Now with both House and Senate majorities and control of the Executive Branch in Dem&#8217;s hands change will definitely come. Here&#8217;s what investors might expect and how they should react.

		<title>Greenspan has Culpability</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan has dispicable culpability in the current financial crisis- not primarily because of his loose monetary policy, or narrow-minded bent for free market solutions, but because his blatant failures of oversight and flawed advice to Congress amounted to no less than incorrigible bad judgment, because his lack of balance as Chairman

		<title>The Decapitation of American Capitalism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The world is witnessing the decapitation of American Capitalism. Understand that this is not the indictment of Capitalism as an economic system, nor the socialistic hurray following the defete of market economies, but the affirmation of free market capitalism left un-altered. America democratized Capitalism and made it unstable. It created a hybrid system of Capitalism based [...]]]></description>

		<title>Conflcts of interest at the Federal Reserve and Treasury demand a Justice Department Investigation.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There seems to be an incorrigible abuse of power underway and hidden from the public by here-to-fore respectable government officials. It is on par with the most brazen corruption of Wall Street. Indeed it dwarfs the crimes of Kenneth Lay at Enron and Bernie Ebbers at World Com.  Discovering it is like unearthing &#8216;deapthroat&#8217; or a mole at home inside the US intelligence community. It is despicable. And the GAO [...]]]></description>

		<title>Market rout coming until Treasury and Fed act</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The financial makets are in turmoil following the $700 billion bailout passed by the US Congress. What happened is that the frank reality of the bailout debate raised the level of awareness about the actual size of the financial system&#8217;s problem and indeed raised questions about the amount necessary to fix it&#8211; for example, no mention was ever made of the Government [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why is Congress Ignoring Ginnie Mae?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wouldn’t you think that in all the hearings before Congress somehow we would hear mention of the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), the mortgage behemoth that is a direct obligation of the US Government?  After all GNMA guarantees only moderate income and Sub-prime loans and these are the mortgages with the  highest loan default rates.

		<title>Will the bailout for Democratic Capitalism avert Depression?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For years US banks and their off-balance sheet subsidiaries originated mortgages with no money down, easy to meet, first year payment terms and then sold them to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae which guaranteed them enticing worldwide investors to purchase them in the secondary market. These same banks also structured derivative contracts to [...]]]></description>
