The thieves in Washington and Wall St. are looking to cover their behinds after been correctly accused of wholesale Grand Larceny.

When predictions of doom and disaster are uttered by the same people who created this doom and disaster, I'd be inclined to take it with a huge grain of salt and then ask myself why they are in such a hurry.

As for the culprit being "Someone", that does not fly as even in 2001 monitoring of trades and withdrawals were being monitored in realtime utilizing "Promis" data mining software. If, indeed, these billions were being scooped out of accounts their identity would be known. They have already discovered the identities of those who were placing all those Put options on American Airlines and a host of other stocks in early September, 2001 that were subsequently hammered after 9/11.

Looking at what has transpired to date, one can only assume that the intention has been to transfer the wealth of the population to the banking and corporate elite. Period.
What needs to be factored in to any analysis of Stimulus packages or Bank Bailouts to better interpret them are the underlying components of Geopolitics, the steadily nurtured plethora of executive orders, policies that have not been reversed by the current administration (Predatory lending, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act), the window dressing of expressing opprobium at the bonuses on Wall St. commensurate with any lack of any real engagement with reforming the financial regulatory framework.
The bigger picture needs to be looked at. Let's face it; what has been done to date has been a complete failure as far as repairing the economy is concerned.
The arguments are completely logical and we would have to assume that the Economic Dream team must be aware also so the big question that needs to be asked more than any other is Why ?]]> Tue, 03 Feb 2009 06:47:51 -0500 The Chinese have their own backyard to look after and have been steadily pulling back from any guarantee that they will continue to fund the crap game that passes for responsible economic policy in the U.S..

With the OCC data out in the open, any further capital injection or purchase of "bad assets" without bringing the data and the balance sheets to the table and dealing with the neutralization of the derivative instruments only amounts to either incompetence on a monumental scale or, more likely, a deliberate fleecing of the taxpayer.]]> Thu, 29 Jan 2009 11:16:27 -0500 No sane investor is going to pump capital in to a bank without inspecting it's balance sheet and credit exposure.

With regard to Mr Obama's Economic stimulus plan, I am inclined to defer to Peter Schiff's analysis that the last thing the U.S. needs is more debt.
