Spending didn't work. I know, since spending doesn't work, printing money will? The Federal Reserve Board Open Markets Committee announced a second round of “quantitative easing,” dubbed “QE2.” Another term for what the Fed is expected to do is “monetize the debt.” The Fed will buy government debt—primarily Treasury bonds, but possibly also mortgage-backed securities owned by the government—with new money it simply “prints.” There are two major effects of printing more money: Banks now have cash on their books instead of debt instruments, which allows them to loan more money out. By printing more money, the Fed lowers the value of the U.S. dollar, causing prices to rise, i.e. inflation. My suggestion: It's too late too buy gold. Buy...

The Other Stupid Things John Brennan Said Wednesday, February 17, 2010 By Michelle Malkin It’s bad enough that John Brennan, President Obama’s national security deputy, thinks Gitmo jihadi recidivism is “not that bad.” But in his talk last week with Islamic law students at New York University, Brennan made even more reckless comments about our counterterrorism programs while pandering to one of the worst Muslim grievance-mongers and sharia peddlers in America. During the question-and-answer session, Brennan welcomed a question from Omar Shahin. He identified himself as the head of the “North American Imams Federation.” What he didn’t mention was his role as the chief ringleader of the infamous flying imams. You remember them: They were...

Look people, the "Anointed One" makes his chess move's and us babbling humans need to realize that the unbelieving conspiracy "heathen" understate the issues when they say that Obama is a radical. Alas, they know not the secrets we are all going to witness. The "Anointed One" is amazing, he takes the people at the highly efficient Post Office and sends them right over to the Student Loan Program. The "Anointed One" knows all. Twitter messages were machine-gunned to cell phones at mach speed. Facebook and MySpace groups spread across the Internet like digital fire. YouTube videos featuring celebrities ricocheted across the globe and into college students' in-boxes with devastating regularity. All the while, the Obama mega-money-raising...

Good news for everybody, whether a Democrat or Republican it probably won't make much difference in the log run. The Federal Reserve Board Open Markets Committee is meeting on November 2-3, and is widely expected to announce a second round of “quantitative easing,” dubbed “QE2.” Another term for what the Fed is expected to do is “monetize the debt.” The Fed will buy government debt—primarily Treasury bonds, but possibly also mortgage-backed securities owned by the government—with new money it simply “prints.” There are two major effects of printing more money: Banks now have cash on their books instead of debt instruments, which allows them to loan more money out.

It just hit me, I know what kind of television comedy / reality show that could become #1, let's have Jon Stewert interview Barry Barak Hussen Soetoro Obama, Karzai, Karza's brother, and the Taliban while their picking the poppys in the fields for the heroin that they ship to America. What do ya think people? Since Jon and Comedy Central have proven that nothing is sacred for satire and that they will even give in to the threat by a group of radical muslims (like the press likes to call them) or just "the un-named" (like Barry "the Anointed One" likes to call them) or toilet paper (like Americans over the ages of twelve like to call them), it could be a hit. Hollyweird would go wild. One additional thought, to make it hit #1...

It was dissimilar from Commie Fest. At Commie Fest they had their manufactured signs, their drinking cups, and everyone dumped on America. At Commie Fest from their give-us-this and give-us-that demands, these people reminded me of a bunch of spoiled rotten teenagers, living in their father’s house, demanding a higher limit on their AmEx cards. Wait a second; I guess it wasn't so dissimilar?

Mr. Buchanan, I deeply respect your opinion but I do disagree with you on one point. The Federal Reserve Board Open Markets Committee is meeting on November 2-3, and is widely expected to announce a second round of “quantitative easing,” dubbed “QE2.” Another term for what the Fed is expected to do is “monetize the debt.” The Fed will buy government debt—primarily Treasury bonds, but possibly also mortgage-backed securities owned by the government—with new money it simply “prints.” There are two major effects of printing more money: Banks now have cash on their books instead of debt instruments, which allows them to loan more money out.

As a doctor, I do not care who pays me as long as I get paid. Private insurance companies are no friends of collections and government payors are worse. We could reserve a whole new chapter about the negative effects of lawyers. The simple reason is that both like to challenge fees and control costs regardless of medical decisions. All three (insurers, gov.s and lawyers) like to project enormous paper work requirements that diminish the quality and time spend on patient care. I would estimate a minimum of three times the billing. That is 15 minutes of service results in 45 minutes of codifications, billings, committee approvals, and payment instrumentation. At least 10 functionaries handle my simple bills. What I most disapprove and a...

Chuck: it's not just the taxing that coming. Spending didn't work. I know, since spending doesn't work, printing money will?
