- If Pascrell was endorsed by Clinton, that should be enough to make him the non-progressive DINO.
- G. Sach should be G. Sachs, of course.
- Has the guest added in the overpriced loan & derivatives "help" that these countries got over the past 20-30 years from G.Sach, JPM Chase & Wall ST, The City & Canary Wharf, etc.????
All the banks & counter-parties are vulnerable because they made sure more loans, CDSs were sold.
All these "Sovereign" transactions are not transparent &, e.g., we don't know how much of JPMChase's $200B London portfolio is mixed into those and other unknown exposures.
What else did banks securitize, get AAA ratings, then computer slice & dice these "asset-backed" securities???
- Romney's comments about us being the strongest military power & being able to "prevent war" shows how uninformed about the military he is.
At this point, the more we try to "influence" or "assist," we either wind up backstopping tyrants who provide stability, especially in the Middle East, or work against our own interests due to our ignorance of foreign countries, languages, geography, cultures, i.e., everything that we need to know BEFORE we decide to put drones in the air and boots on the ground.
Then, as in iraq & Afghanistan, we import foreign workers to "rebuild" the country instead of hiring locals to build projects fitting their needs, using local building materials when possible and providing civilian backup & not just miiitary "might."
Perfect for a member [Romney] of the Yacht Club Draft Dodgers, which is NOT the U.S .Coast Guard.
- Ms. Sale,
Does racism affect voting? Yes.
Does it predict voting? That's a whole lot tougher. And that's why your headline seems a bit over the top.
A whole lot of people would be much happier if reporters would stop trying to predict the news and just report what happened and all the facts about the news that they can find by their deadline.
With proper followup reports, more and/or conflicting evidence can be presented for discussion and clarification. Unfortunately, followup reports don't occur, mostly, in Corporate Media.
That, and other actions by the Corporate Media, are a clear and present danger to the US democratic processes.
- David's "good points" Brian ???? That was a nonsense rant.
David please look up Tony Soprano explains Bain Capital's 'Bust Out' roots in Criminal takeovers via loan sharking, etc.
- Ms. Solomon misses a point: the bias crime was Ravi's first offense. Since he committed other crimes - lying to investigators, etc. become 2nd & 3rd offenses. He should not be able to get 1st offense consideration for any successive illegal acts.
- Ellen -
1) smaller portions
2) more walking, less riding
3) longer school recesses, more physical activity in schools and after-school
4) less frequent consumption of snack foods, fewer fast food outlets, lower consumption of sodas
- It seems like the time is right for changing the catch-phrase from "Too Big To Fail" to "Too Big To Save."
2nd phrase suggested by someone else, not me.
- He still hasn't realized that without consumers with $$ to buy goods & services, it doesn't matter how "innovative" your financial engineering is.
We need real engineers now, not financial engineers.
No customers = no $$$ for VC.
