  • Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [View article]
    The LSM aren't obsessing about these scandals and that is part of the problem. I recall Democrats wanting to try administration officials from the Bush era for war crimes. They were calling for his impeachment for non-criminal activities. I was no Bush fan because he was just as dangerous in his progressive mind set as King, Obama is in his. The difference is that the media was all in a frenzy over anything Bush did. They won't mention anything that could be derogatory regarding King, Obama. No investigative reporting whatsoever. Had this occurred when Bush was president the coverage would be wall to wall and all of the White House press corps would be talking about impeachment. In the end it won't matter as this involves allot of people. I'm sure not all of them will be willing to fall on their sword for this failed presidency. Some will seek immunity from prosecution and sing like a canary to save their hide. That's the way it's always been and I doubt this time will be significantly different. The truth will come out it's only a matter of time.

    jpau: Greetings. Wow they managed to dig up three instances. Two were from TX which is a hot bed of liberal activism! Now we have Ms. Lerner taking the fifth. http://wapo.st/12utV2M We have just gone from political witch hunt to senior administration officials trying to avoid criminal prosecution. Let me guess Bush had something to do with this right? After all he did promote Ingram http://abcn.ws/10PwbTR Gee what could go wrong with this concept. When will she be taking the fifth in front of Issa's committee?

    The LSM is still playing ball. http://bit.ly/10Ptp0Z http://bit.ly/12uqPvw They are busy making the story about how the Republicans will use these scandals to their political advantage not about the abuse of power or possible felonies committed by high officials. Indeed the Republicans will try to capitalize on them but that doesn't mean that the allegations are any less serious or that serious investigation isn't called for. A select committee, special counsel or a special prosecutor is called for here. Even the most partisan of Democrats should realize by now that where there is smoke there is undoubtedly a fire. Caution spin doctors at work!

    picking stock is all about recognizing patterns in charts, insider buying or selling, Da Boyz pumping or dumping. Anyone else see a pattern here? With Lerner set to take the fifth we are beyond the witch hunt and into avoiding criminal procedures. http://politi.co/11bjxQU Just another tricky day at the White House. http://bit.ly/18YXQFj This is certainly an interesting read. So now we have the King trying to protect the woman who was in charge when this campaign against conservatives was started. http://bit.ly/17Vm9Fj No hip transplants for TEA party people! We have personal tax information being routinely leaked to liberal political action groups. Which is a felony. With more coming out to tell their story daily. http://bit.ly/10fNzxU http://bit.ly/17Vm8B8 Telephone records for hundreds of AP reporters being seized and reverberations from Benghazi getting louder every day. I wonder when the Fast and Furious documents will be released by the court? This is becoming a very hot summer in DC and we haven't even seen the last of the Muslim Brotherhood fanning the flames in the ME! Now we find that the EPA is in on the action as well. http://bit.ly/10fNBpH Are there any federal agencies in the executive branch that haven't become political weapons for this administration and the Democrat party?

    Bob123: Greetings. Had King, Obama been born in Kenya or anywhere besides Hawaii the Clinton machine would have found out and used that information in the primary. ACORN and it's clones are problematical for anyone interested in clean fair elections. My guess is that doesn't include you. Prosecutions are continuing for Republicans and Democrats who are found to be cheating the electoral process as they should. Your problem Bob is that you somehow got the impression I'm a Republican partisan even though I have told you repeatedly that I'm not. I don't get excited about your feeble attempts to get my partisan dander up Bob because I'm not a partisan hack. I'm here to make money. When politics gets in the way of that I don't like it and neither should any investor. That is undoubtedly not your concern since you aren't an investor in the sense that most of us on this blog are. This article brought to us by D-investor on the QC is very interesting. http://bit.ly/18YXQFj At this point it's obvious that the Democrats and their supporters are more concerned with circling the wagons to protect their guy and what they perceive as the advancements of their agenda under this administration. Any interest in getting to the truth by them was abandoned long ago. It's interesting that in the article it was a noted Republican that posed the question during the Water Gate hearings "What did the president know and when did he know it?". You couldn't get any Democrat congress critter or operative to ask that question about King, Obama. Even if you put a gun to their head. When will these people understand that the good of the republic is more important than preserving a failed presidency that they see as historic. King, Obama's legacy seems to be that he will be the Black Nixon!

    TB: Greetings. What I was saying is that a used car being sold at a dealership would be taxed. One being purchased from a private owner would not be taxed. The sale of real estate from a private party to a private party with owner finance would not be taxed. The same deal through a commercial bank and a realtor would be taxed. That being said the chances of anything resembling a fair tax passing is nearly zero.

    I'm with gggl. The economy has definitely escaped velocity! movement so slow it's barley detectable. Movement without direction. Sounds like our government doesn't it?

    The fly in the ointment is the liquidity bubble created by endless QE. How far and how fast will the fall be when the QE punch bowl is taken away? Central banks have been on a coordinated buying spree but it's unlikely they will want to unwind those huge positions in a coordinated fashion. Who will be the first to covertly start unwinding the QE bloated positions? When it starts in earnest and all of the CBs are trying to unwind their positions how bad will the liquidity trap be? When everyone is selling who will be the buyers? Right now the FED accounts for 90% of US bond purchases. When they sell them where will they end up? There aren't that many players with pockets deep enough to purchase an asset with falling value as sovereign bonds will become junk in short order!

    When did the conversation deviate from taxes to campaign finance? Both systems are beyond repair and need to be replaced with something that might actually work. While nothing will be perfect almost anything would be better!

    It's OK for GE not to pay. It's OK for Google not to pay. They are on the freinds of Carlotta list!

    Nothing like a disjointed withdrawal from a tactical blunder! This will undoubtedly get messy!

    Nothing ever gets implemented as proposed! At the outset the income tax was small and temporary. As a wiser man tan I said nothing comes closer to immortality than a temporary government program.
