      <title>Does Ben Bernanke dream about charging 2 and 20? The Fed will earn about $90B in profits in 2012, estimates Stone &amp;amp; McCarthy, the vast majority of which will be sent to the Treasury. The profits come from the spread between the yield on bank's vast and growing hoard of securities and the IOER. Rising rates could cause losses at some point, but the Fed can just suspend payments to the Treasury when necessary.</title>

      <title>The Obama Administration considers expanding its mortgage-refinance program to include those loans not held by the GSE's. Fannie and Freddie back just 50% of the nation's mortgages, leaving a big chunk of the 10.8M underwater mortgage loans not qualified for the HAMP. What happened to weaning the nation off of public mortgage finance?</title>

        <![CDATA[I have to tell you that I am not opposed to the middle class and the upper class paying more in taxes as long as the government comes up with a budget within the means of the country and some REAL spending cuts.  Additionally, they should turn off the printing presses at the Fed.<br/><br/>We scolded Greece, Spain and the rest of Europe and this current government is doing way less to try and resolve $20 plus trillion of debt!  <br/><br/>Happy holidays folks!]]>

        <![CDATA[The fiscal cliff is the best thing that can happen to Obama!  He will get up tell the country that it's the republicans fault and then he will get far more than the $1.4 trillion in revenue to spend from the middle class but he will get automatic spending cuts - a no no for him.<br/><br/>Unfortunately it will put 600,000 people out of work, cut consumer spending and probably put us in the recession/depression that we have never left.<br/><br/>Either way America we are screwed, he wants more to spend because things are really bad and getting worse.]]>

        <![CDATA[The reason XRTrader is that Obama wants 2 more little things.<br/><br/>1.  He wants to spend $50 billion a month above and beyond the Fed for public works programs that were suppose to funded and public ready under Tarp 1/2/3 or Quantitative Easing 1/2/3 or Twist 1/2/3.<br/><br/>2.  He wants to take the power away from the Senate for control of the DEPT CEILING.  He wants to be able to run the printing presses 24/7 and spend as much as he wants to float the country to $30 trillion of debt.<br/><br/>So you can only imagine how bad things really are if he is gonna get $1.4 trillion plus $600 billion plus print as much as he wants!<br/><br/>DEPRESSION, INFLATION, GREECE HERE WE COME!!!]]>

        <![CDATA[Well Joe, when they did that - there went the free market system and they have ballooned the stock market.  Since then they have printed another $ 2 plus trillion and pissed it away on everything not including Tarp 1/2/3,  Operation twist and who knows what else and how many bad mortgages and school loans!<br/><br/>The unemployment levels are the same as 2008 and MORE people are on disability, food stamps, and federal aid than anytime in our history.<br/><br/>I don't think that things could have gotten much worse in 2008 and even though they flooded the markets with money to &quot;ease the credit markets&quot; for the banks - 0% interest has not really helped us grow at any decent rate.<br/><br/>So Joe, you should blame Clinton and Barney Frank for easing the mortgage borrowing rules for this fiasco because anyone with no money was allowed to buy a home they couldn't afford.<br/><br/>All this great government help will probably give us 40% run away inflation and a healthy depression by 2015.]]>

        <![CDATA[It would be great James Carlini if we went over the cliff.  First of all the middle class would help pay for all the spending that Washington can't stop.  Secondly it forces Washington to STOP SPENDING and make immediate cuts in programs, something they can't seem to figure out how to do. I know a million people will lose their jobs which is not good but either is $20 to $30 trillion of debt and loss of free trade and free markets!!  Do we want the whole ship to go down or just be dead in the water??<br/><br/>On to GM - we as taxpayers are going to lose half of the billions that Obama pumped into that worthless dinosaur.  They forgave the $50 billion Bush gave them and wiped out half of the other $100 billion plus that Obama bought in stock. <br/><br/>I HATE OUR GOVERNMENT - everyday its another stupid, bullshit act with absolutely no accountability or worry except for my bank account!]]>
