Euro Bank Crisis Grows Mon Oct 10

Mike Shedlock

It is difficult to know for certain what talk is happening in closed circles behind the scenes, but if Germany is not discussing how to break away from the Eurozone (perhaps with Austria, the Netherlands, Finland, and a consortium of Northern Europe), they are making a huge mistake. ... more
Email, Hate Mail and Comments from Readers Sun Oct 9

Media Bias 101 Tue Sep 27

Byron York

You want a quick and easy introduction to media bias? Just look at the reception given to author Ron Suskind when he appeared on NBC's "Today" show recently to promote his new book, "Confidence Men," which is critical of President Obama -- and then compare it to the reception Suskind received in 2004 when he appeared on "Today" to tout another book, "The Price of Loyalty," which was critical of President George W. Bush. ... more
Germany Gives Geithner Stiff Finger Sun Sep 18

Mike Shedlock

Regardless, sentiment has clearly changed in Germany. Moreover, Finland and Austria have had enough of bailouts as well. It's good to see someone thinking clearly, and that someone is certainly not Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner who wants to dump more Euro risk on the backs of European taxpayers, especially German taxpayers. ... more

It's the Teleprompter's Fault Tue Aug 30

Bill Tatro

Whether it was in a manufacturing plant or an elementary school, Obama was never without his trusty device. That’s probably why his most recent appointment of Alan Krueger (the Tim Geithner clone), is another result of not looking ahead. ... more
Obama Doubles Down on Failure Tue Aug 30

Bob Beauprez

Even the excessively reliable defender of the Administration, the Washington Post, admits that Obama's economic policies have led to a "crisis of confidence" among American consumers and businesses alike.

Debt Ceiling Up, S&P Rating Down Tue Aug 9

Phyllis Schlafly

The problem isn't the debt ceiling, but out-of-control spending. The bipartisan compromise increased the government's borrowing limit by nearly a trillion dollars but cut less than $2 trillion in spending over the next 10 years, which hardly makes a dent in the problem. ... more

Bob Beauprez

Economy by Schmucks Mon Aug 8

Jeff Carter

Hold your elected officials feet to the fire. Write letters. There is only one way out of this mess. Cutting spending, and growing the economy. Too much spending and debt got us into this mess, less spending and growth can help get us out of it. ... more
The American Decline Under Obama Mon Aug 8

Craig Steiner

As recently as four months ago "Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said Tuesday there is "no risk" the U.S. will lose its top credit rating." Early on the president was asking for a "clean" debt ceiling bill with no spending reductions at all, an idea that Democrats brought back in the days before a final agreement. ... more

Geithner: Prolonging the Pain Sat Jul 16

Jack Bouroudjian

When the treasury secretary of the United States makes a statement like that, it’s time for him to go. To be so glib about the very thing that it is his job to fix tells me Geithner is unequivocally unfit to lead. ... more
We're Taking Advice from Whom? Fri Jul 15

Rich Galen

Let me start by saying American should pay its debts. If the debts are really, really large - that's too bad. We owe the money and we have to pay it. We're the richest, most blessed nation in the history of the world and we have to pay what we owe. ... more

Agency Girl Goes Wild Mon Jul 11

Katie Kieffer

Elizabeth Warren has literally gone wild. No, she did not strip off her matronly suit on a Girls Gone Wild spring break tour bus. Rather, she appears to be on a mission to strip Congress, small businesses and individual Americans of authority by instituting her own rules for how to play the financial game on both Wall Street and Main Street. ... more
