The Democratic party has been unrelenting attacking Mitt Romney’s record with the private equity firm Bain Capital aiming to keep the Republican candidate on the defensive and more importantly to shift the focus from Barack Obama’s economic record.  The President is attacking Romney and his Republican allies for pursuing what he brands as outdated and a policy of discredited economic [...]

The United States Postal Service endured its first-ever default, failing to submit a required $5.5 billion payment for future retirees’ health benefits.  This unprecedented lapse prompts new questions about the fate of the Postal Service as its financial situation spirals ever out of control, and adds to the list of problems Congress has been so far unable [...]

In case you missed the posts in your inbox, I have been sick as a dog over the past week.  To make matters worse, I WAS ON VACATION!   To bad my workplace is not in Sweden where if a worker becomes sick while on leave, the days of the illness do not count against vacation time.  Some [...]

It’s an important week with Congressman Ron Paul’s Audit the Fed bill, H.R. 459, being voted on this Tuesday, July 24, in the U.S. House of Representatives.  This is an exciting move because the bill is being introduced under a “suspension of the rules.”  What this means is supporters must have a two-thirds majority to allow passage.  The [...]

he 2012 presidential election is quickly approaching and it is being presented as the most important one in our generation.  Even though that phrase is usually repeated every four years, this year may truly be that fork in the road that once we choose our path, may be irreversible.  The two roads are clearly labeled:  one [...]

The whole thing should have been revealed as a scam right from the start when Paul Warburg was appointed to the first Federal Reserve Board.  We were supposed to believe that he gave up $500,000/year for a mere $12,000.  Maybe worse is that the first Chairman of the New York Federal Reserve Bank during the crucial [...]

Senator Aldrich issued confidential invitations to what the press said was a duck-hunting expedition in Jekyl Island, Georgia where they would write the final recommendations of the National Monetary Commission report.  The secrecy of this meeting was well warranted, at stake was the future Federal Reserve system and thus control over the entire economy.  Present in this group, [...]
