Do not underestimate its importance. When I bought a house, it included assumptions of short periods of unemployment (with UI), even though I have never been unemployed in my life.

Didn't Bernanke throw trillions at the banks in the name of financial stability? And now, from your elitist ivory tower, you begrudge us this crumb.

The name of the UI game is economic contribution and financial stability; not handouts.]]> Wed, 25 Nov 2009 05:17:42 -0500

Otherwise interesting article.

Leonahope and Beverly: you don't have to agree with the writer. That is what SA is all about - various opinions by various commentators, so we as intelligent people can make our own decisions.]]> Fri, 06 Nov 2009 05:12:35 -0500

"There is good money out there to buy distressed companies at a bargain" Absolutely right! Many US companies (including Wells Fargo - wow a bank that actually did the correct conservative thing - that banks are supposed to do - and does not have it's hand out looking for taxpayer gold) are flush with cash and have been waiting for an opportunity like this to buy "distressed assets." Is Paulson and his Republican extreme-socialism punishing them?

Split Stock please grow up. The US governemnt would not bail out the world unless it was in self-interest. Please don't be conceited.

Brahm. "authority being vested in the Secretary of the Treasury is so vast, without limit within the $700 billion authorised" Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Even if we were to pray that it wouldn't. He is human after all.

It seems to have worked, because that is not the problem now. The problem now is that those socialist wimps on Wall Street (previously Capitalist Kings) got too greedy, just like company management did pre-2001. I agree, SOX is onerous, but if derivatives, shorting, etc. had had that kind of oversight and disclosure, then maybe we would have been spared some of this excessive turmoil now.]]> Thu, 18 Sep 2008 03:34:59 -0400 Nicky Sox was created to make it more difficult for company management to steal from shareholders.

We have not yet hit a long term bottom, because there is still hope out there. We need complete capitulation and no hope for the better to reach that.

I have been short the past 2 months and this week covered my shorts and went long (hoping for a short term rally), so I am experiencing your slow torture firsthand.

It seems that a sound energy policy is something the US needs long term, but do either of the candidates have this as a priority? Wouldn't a short term fix for the US economy be a lower oil price? How could your authorities shake out the oil speculators to achieve this? So many questions to which I would love an answer.]]> Thu, 03 Jul 2008 05:53:25 -0400
