All the charges in the article are true but if the intervention had not been undertaken AIG share price should have gone to zero. What would the plaintiffs expect then?

Chinese are cashing in more US Treasuries?

Great program huh? Not only is the rebate taxable, normally the deal was based on MSRP so sales tax is figured from a higher amount than if the customer was able to dicker with his dealer.

The operative word is...."may". I'm getting to be kind of an old dog, so I remember the last time this came up. More people died from the vaccine than the flu, and a whole bunch of people suffered terrible side effects as well. For a little blast from the past check out the 60 Minutes...

Or the banks that are currently getting 0% loans from the Fed and charging 25-30% on credit cards.

It seems to me this guarantees future inflation. The money has been created and is in the economy. The banks can (may or may not) write off the debt but the money paid out remains.

The only outright error in Wolf's presentation I saw was her reference to the founder's association with the posse comitatus act. In actual fact it was the result of the Northern occupation of former Confederate states after the Civil War. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_Act It...

Teleprompter gaffes are one thing. Bowing to the Saudi King is quite another. Obama is out of his depth. http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/04/obama_doubles_down_on_the_bow.html http://www.conservativeunleashed.com/2009/04/obama-bows-king/
