Dimon Warns

By William Alden

The JPMorgan CEO said he expects to see more U.S. municipalities declare bankruptcy. His concerns echo those of Meredith Whitney, the analyst who has said the next major financial crisis will come from a wave of local government defaults, and those of famed investor Warren Buffett, who has called the municipal debt situation a "terrible problem.

Poli-Tea
by d.eris

As Democrats and Republicans happily continue to play their game of partisan political ping-pong with the Tucson massacre, perhaps the most unwittingly ironic assertion is that which claims the assassin's act has little or nothing to do with mainstream politics because the assassin himself is clearly a deranged and mentally disturbed individual. It is by means of this precise argument that the deranged and disturbed proponents of the Democratic and Republican parties seek to wash their hands of the bloody affair after first attempting to wipe them clean with the other side's dirty laundry...

The politicization of a crime

Strike The Root
by Michael Kleen

01/12/10

If the grave wounding of Representative Gabrielle Giffords and the murder of U.S. District Judge John Roll and five others was not political when the shots were fired, it soon became so. ... The effort to use this crime to score political points is an offense to common decency and underscores the decay of political life in the United States...

Same as the old boss?

John Stossel's Take
by John Stossel

01/12/11

So the Republicans took control of Congress. New House Speaker John Boehner declared that 'our spending has caught up with us ... No longer can we kick the can down the road.' He's right about that. Thanks to runaway spending during the last two administrations, the debt our government owes investors now stands at 62% of GDP. But is there any reason to believe that Republicans will reverse the trend? Will this group be more responsible that the previous bunch? I hope so. But I?m skeptical...
