Greg asked:


He says the ’surge’ lead to the Sunni Awakening that began many months before the “surge”, he says the Whitehouse revoking a ban on new drilling off Florida and California lead to oil prices coming down, and even the Whitehouse disagrees with that and points to demand destruction just as any financial news column does, and he makes a big deal about a newspaper who endorsed his candidacy asking for an editorial rewrite.

Has he gone over the edge entirely?

Thundercat asked:


I recently saw a financial news show where a commentator asked a question something about Obama’s “Hope and Change” yet where is the hope in the market? I didn’t watch the responses. But since often the market reacts emotionally to things and not always about hard numbers, where is the hope for an upturn? Typically, the stock market leads an economic recover by a few months. The market has tanked since the Nov. election.
Will the recent one day rally finally signal hope and change?
A: Actually, I don’t think those who are “in the business” know how the market works.

For me it was this one, which I just read today

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,453925,00.html

This city sent a blind woman, aged 74, a letter that she owed a balance on her water bill and that if she didn’t pay, they’d put a lien on her home.

The outstanding balance was one cent. $.01. that’s right, a penny!!

So they spent

$.42 on the stamp
$.05 on the paper and envelop
??? on the salary and benefits for the person who generated the letter and put it in the mail

For a one-penny outstanding balance. No wonder towns are in financial trouble!

So what did it for you this week?

especially since most Congressmen were in office when the meltdown happened & contributed to the problem.

“The administration, launching what it calls the “Making Home Affordable” initiative, said that borrowers will have to provide their most recent tax return and two pay stubs, as well as an “affidavit of financial hardship” to qualify for the $75 billion loan modification program, which runs through 2012.”

What I mean by this is:

Schwarzenegger came in and has worked with the democrats to spend spend. Now, the state is in huge trouble.

They have an endless demand for government programs because of the willingness of liberals in both parties to give it away.

Will Americans learn this lesson that spending and raising taxes to pay for it leads to this?
