Tapping the Golden Vein

Centuries ago, at the beginning of the Obama Administration, we were told that the “obscene” bonuses of AIG executives should be taxed away, with special taxes that amounted to bills of attainder. This is not the first time we've seen specific industries targeted with massive taxes because they were deemed ...

Isn't It Awfully Nice For the Fed to Have a Penis?

An audit of the Federal Reserve Bank would "substantially castrate the Fed so it cannot do what it was set up to do," Rep. Melvin Watt (D., N.C.) said yesterday, in an effort to tamp down a congressional uprising against the Bush/Obama economic team. This devastating exchange Thursday between Secretary of the Treasury Tim Geithner and Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas); along with weeks of close...

PhillyDeals: 2 votes for Dodd's do-it-yourself bailouts

The U.S. House of Representatives will likely pass Rep.

Any Afghan 'Surge' a Snare and a Delusion

Given the record of Goldman Sachs (as detailed in McClatchy's five-part series), AIG, Halliburton and other supposedly upright U.S. corporations, it's a tad arrogant to complain about the corruption of other countries. Endemic or not, the wink-wink, nod-nod deals of much of the Third World amount to peanuts when compared with the rip-offs visited on taxpayers, investors and consumers here at home....

Sea Change: Lehman Redux?

President Obama shifted rhetoric from recovery to "possible double dip recession" this week. Today short-term Treasury bills went negative on yield.
