Forget 'Cash for Clunkers': Try 'Dough for Dumps'

We are less than a year into this new administration and it is starting to dawn on many Americans as to which direction our policymakers are planning to take this country: Pathetic short term fixes and no definitive plans or visions for lasting economic growth and capital expansion. No question that we are all being put to test here. This article perfectly exemplifies to which extent government run economic programs can (and will) run their course: Bigger government and a choked off private sector. As a government employee myself, I can vouch for the kindness and the good intentions of public employees (and their policymakers), but I am vehemmently against government initiating these types of programs - risking to take the place of a free and (efficiently functioning) independent private sector. It is fatal to capitalism. Thank you Mr. Schiff for sharing your dismay about the unfortunate short-sightedness of this administration.

'The Worst Is Over for Financials' - Really?

I would hardly call this an article. But rather a short composition of various head-liners. Shame on you, Lazy-Grace (my nickname for you). Please don't ruin my "Seeking Alpha" experience with worthless articles.
