Bonus Madness and AIG
From an article in today’s Washington Post: “Fed officials also hope to keep current employees with [AIG]. The senior executives whose decisions caused the company's collapse are long gone. Most of those left behind are trying to unwind complicated derivative contracts. Completing that process correctly is essential to preserving as much value ...

Fantastic article!
Someone tell me why those in the USA who try so hard to get the 10 commandments posted all over in our public square and taught to our kids in school break so many of them trying to get that done? And also fight so hard to take money from the poor and middle class and put in the hands of the rich? And also to keep corporate greed-based health ...

Re: Treasuries...
I am much too poor and too ethnic - 3rd Generation American from Midwestern Chicago -- with three wonderful Italian Grandparents - and too fundamentally well educated to count myself as a Conservative, a Republican, or a John Birch Society Member.

Once the leftist has declared himself, herself or someone else a victim, then through Marxist reasoning, a victim can disregard rational thought and ...

Makes Me Laugh -- Elites With Furrowed Brows AT LAST - -

Re: What difference will it make?
kgsbca: So the politicians should stay out of this, if they know what is good for the US economy. They probably won't, though, for if the company is acquired by a foreign owner, they will lose a valuable source of local campaign contributions, and we know that is the most important issue for politicians. No one yet seems to have noticed ...

The loss of Zimbabwe and South Africa to the Reds . . .
. . . compares favorably with the loss of Afghanistan, Tibet, Hong Kong, and China to the Socialist/Communist ideologues elsewhere. Of course, the Anglo-American world Realpolitik has suffered it's share of losses to Right Wing Ideologue regimes, as well. Look no further than France, Italy, and Iran among others. We could even mention America in ...
