      States Facing Critical Budget Shortfalls
      this situation, while nasty and hurtfull, may be beneficial in the long run. failure of finances by several state gov'ts may be the catalyst leading to finance reforms throughout the country. if states reform, perhaps the affect will ripple into the federal system. if change does not occur, gov't will be recognized as our last remaining industry.

      total industrial/business base nationalized. there is probably a term for that. HMMM!

      Dollar and Gold Rise Simultaneously? Bring On the Flying Pigs
      it's sad that the pigs had to pick this circumstance to perform the feat. i was hoping for this miracle to occur with the Cubs/Whitesox world series, in which the Cubs win in 7.

      How Bad Is the Fed's Balance Sheet?
      are the treaury documents held by the FED of equal value to those held by the SSA "trust fund"?

      more "full faith and promise" stuff?

      America, you're bankrupt and more of the world nations are joining into the fray.

      Copper Prices Slumping; Targets Cut for Barrick Gold and Goldcorp
      the analyst could not see with any precision 6 months[2Q-4Q'08] what would occur???

      what validity has his forward projections contain? 6mo, 1yr, 2012??? an astute investor would foresee potential price direction; such precision in numbers--WAGS

      Bailout Bill Passes; What Happens Now?
      if all else fails[covered by blog and comments], the soution could be to nationalize the banks. then gov't could lend, print, withdraw funds as appropriate and resolve all fears.

      there must be a name for this situation???

      Price of Oil: Speculation vs. Fundamentals
      anyone living in a drought prone area understands this phenomena well. it's all in the flow rates--from runoff to consumption. not much different from oil, except gov't regulation limits speculative motivations in those who'd try.

      The Real Reason Lawmakers Are Rushing Out a Bailout Plan
      HAL-- it's in the sentence structure.


      I P DAILY-- stay tuned to any ensuing gov't auctions of assets purchased by said gov't against $700 billion[or whatever] legislation.

      GE's Industrial Shift to China
      STARBOARD--

      GE FINANCE exists to act as banker for buyers/leasors of that other GE "stuff". while acting as GE bank, it does other profit making business..you've undoubtedly heard of GMAC--the only profitable arm GM had prior to their need to sell it to stay out of bankruptcy. GE CAPITAL is good business.

      Commodities Should Profit from the Bailout Plan
      our financial problem is not the current dilemma requiring the debt level to be raised to $11.3 trillion!!!

      THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE INITIAL $9 TRILLION OF DEBT CEILING REQUIREMENT!!!!

      Nobody is Talking About the Deficit
      nobody talks, 'cause nobody's got any solutions. and nobody wants to admit the situation gets horribly worse with time--even excluding this week's total actions[catastrophy???...

      ACTION PLAN-- buy a working farm with lotsa timber. maybe Amish country. check GP MD, VET MD coverage to protect family and livestock.

      Obama and McCain Don't Understand the Markets
      POLITICIANS and FINANCIERS have a common set of flaws--excessive greed and narcissiveness. this makes a bad mix of people when left too long in a control positions.

      at our founding, gov't was not intended to be all things to all people, as are expectations of too many citizens today.


      if POLITICING were a part time job, incumbants would not be so imbedded in positions, unlikely to do[perform?] so many legislative acts, spend more time in the realities of life.

      the easiest way to seperate/limit this inappropriate alliance[ POLS and BANKERS] is to toss the POLS[bankers aren't elected].

      THE VOTE IS YOUR'S MR/MS CITIZEN. BREAK THE ALLIANCE; RECOVER YOUR HERITAGE.
