Seeking Alpha contributor and YouTube star Peter Schiff formally launches his campaign to unseat Chris Dodd as Connecticut senator. In our live discussion on the dollar this summer, Schiff took some strong positions about the (un)reliability of Fed figures.

You got my support Peter!

Will Taxpayers Profit from Newest Bailout Plan?

Even if they somehow manage to make money on this NO WAY taxpayers ever see a dime of it.

The Free Market Votes: Still No Change We Can Believe In

"Our country is ruled by a caste of lawyers who are almost to a man (or woman) economically illiterate. They know how to write laws to redistribute wealth but don’t understand how that wealth is produced. They also write laws that make it easier for lawyers to extort money from productive members of society, and centralizing power to lawyer-politicians who use that power to stay in power."

Wow. This is one of the most concise and accurate statements I have read in some time!

Why Felix Should Walk Away

I wonder if Felix considered the consequences when he got his "dream home"

I don't blame him for walking away but don't act like he isn't at least partially at fault here.

I have my doubts about people who call CNBC for financial advice.

What to conclude from the fact that everyone's cheering Jon Stewart's evisceration of CNBC's Santelli last night, but everyone hoorayed Santelli at the time? Love the message, hate the messenger...

If Santelli would have does this 8 months ago he would have been cheered by the lefties.

The transparency of the media is so obvious.

How dare anyone question the great one!

Playboy's attempt at investigative journalism seems to have died a premature death, but fortunately Megan McArdle managed to grab the post which accused CNBC's Rick Santelli of astroturfing, before it disappeared. Potential libel suit in the making, she says.

It's funny how if you question Obama you get investigated.

Maybe Playboy should investigate the 90% of the media which support the Democratic party.

Everyone who disagrees with the liberal agenda is now part of some conspiracy plot.

The Swift Boaters, Joe the Plumber and now Santelli.

Rick Santelli: 21st-century Samuel Adams - or astroturfer?

How dare someone have an opinion that doesn't match the great Obama!

How dare anyone question him!!!

Joe the plumber part two!

Is Saving the Root of All Evil?

Wow, Krugman is arguing against saving? Why is this even a debate?

Thomas Friedman Doesn't Get the Economic Reality of Silicon Valley

Ask 100 people where the "stimulus" money should be spent and you will get 100 answers.

That is why cutting income tax rates and corporate rates across the board is the answer. Let the American people and American businesses decide where to put THEIR money.

Santelli's Chicago Tea Party: The Quest for Our Nation's Soul

It was so nice to see a member of the U.S. media with the guts to actually question Obama.

Santelli is a hero. Why won't anyone bring up these kinds of points.

Great article Ron

Kanjorski and the Money Market Funds: The Facts

Thanks for the report Felix.

Glad someone is holding people accountable and doing some fact checking.

Banker Pay: Salmon vs. Barnett

Have to agree with Megan on just about everything she said.

Why Capping Pay Is Likely to Work

"What's more, all of these executives are dynastically wealthy already:"

This seems like a reach to me considering... From the NYT article

"Crucial details remained unclear on Tuesday night, including whether the restrictions would apply to all companies that receive money under the so-called Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, or whether they would apply only to the “exceptional” companies that were being rescued from collapse."

Geithner's Written Responses to the Senate Finance Committee

"Why did you fail at that job and why should that not disqualify you from overseeing the entire financial system? "

That's a great question.

Hopefully more people ask it very real soon.

Thanks for pointing this out Felix.

Why does the Geithner-Summers-Rubin bunch get no blame for this mess?

Not only do they not get questioned, they get jobs in the new administration!
