No Historical Comparison or Benchmark When it Comes to Bernanke's Money Printing
Labels:

federal reserve
Excerpt:
The US Federal Reserve's balance sheet has expanded almost US$225 billion over the past 16 weeks. International (global central bank) "reserve assets" have jumped $1.5 trillion in 12 months. In just two years, "reserve assets" have ballooned an incredible $2.6 trillion, or about 40%, to $9.3 trillion (reserves were about $3.0 trillion to begin 2004).There's been nothing comparable to this in the history of central banking - in the history of "money".
3M CEO BASHES OBAMA AS "ANTI-BUSINESS" AND "ROBIN HOOD-ESQUE"

Barack Obama's newfound pro-business rhetoric, after spending the first half of his administration earning the title from many as the 'most anti-business president in American history', isn't being bought by at least one business leader.
George Buckley, who since 2005 has been Chief Executive and Chairman of giant 3M, recently told the Financial Times:
“I judge people by their feet, not their mouth,” he told the Financial Times. “We know what his instincts are – they are Robin Hood-esque. He is anti-business.“There is a sense among companies that this is a difficult place to do business. It is about regulation, taxation, seemingly anti-business policies in Washington, attitudes towards science.”

American Thinker: Meeting Young Obama
American Thinker: Meeting Young Obama
From the article: "I know something about what Barack Obama believed in 1980. At that time, the future president was a doctrinaire Marxist revolutionary, although perhaps -- for the first time -- considering conventional politics as a more practical road to socialism."

On Over-regulation: Industry Has Spoken…Will the President Listen?
Labels:
regulation
I sincerely doubt it. Or, any relaxation of burdensome government regulations will be more than offset by even more onerous new regulations. Furthermore, in no way will there be any rollback comparable to the onslaught of regulations already forced on us by the Obama regime.

CONGRESSMAN JIM JORDAN ON THE FAILED OBAMA STIMULUS' 2ND ANNIVERSARY
Labels:
stimulus
Washington, Feb 17 -
Republican Study Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan released the following statement on the second anniversary of the Democrats’ failed stimulus becoming law.
“Two years ago, the Obama administration promised that a massive government spending binge would jumpstart the economy immediately and keep unemployment below 8%,” said Chairman Jordan. “They were horribly wrong, to the point that the architects of this law now refuse to even appear before Congress to defend their plan. Instead of economic growth, we actually lost 2.5 million jobs while the deficit went through the roof.
“Evidently the Obama administration isn’t worried by the stimulus’ failure, considering their budget proposes even more of the same boondoggles they have been throwing money at for two years. We all want to see more job opportunities open up, and to get there we have to get Washington out of the way. If we cut spending and bureaucratic red tape, private sector job creators will start to see more rewards to go along with the risks they take by hiring and expanding.”
By the administration’s own admission, more than $160 billion in stimulus money has not even been spent yet.

Why to we respect every country and culture except our very own? This anti-American teacher should be fired and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a classroom again.

HERMAN CAIN AT CPAC: " THE ONLY WAY TO FIX OUR MESSED UP TAX CODE IS TO THROW IT OUT AND PUT IN A WHOLE NEW SYSTEM CALLED THE FAIRTAX!"
Labels:
CPAC,
Fairtax,
Herman Cain
Probable (no, all but certain) presidential candidate Herman Cain gives a rousing, patriotic, hard-hitting speech at the 2011 CPAC, in which he strongly endorses the FairTax as a replacement for the current impossible 70,000 pages of corruptly politicized, federal income tax code we presently suffer with. Mr. Cain understands that the current entrenched IRS tax code is impossible to "fix", reform, or simplify, realizing that the numerous attempts to do so have resulted in even more of a disaster. Mr. Cain's bold FairTax remarks take place at the 6:00 minute mark, but the entire speech is worth watching.
To read my thoughts on the FairTax, go here.
