The only way to avoid the problem, he said, is to "grow and save our way out of it."

The U.S. has to quit spending, cut back, start saving, and scale backward

I'm calling for a national strike, one designed to close the country down for a day.

The intent? Real campaign-finance reform and strong restrictions on lobbying. Because nothing will change until we take corporate money out of politics. Nothing will improve until our politicians are once again answerable to their constituents, not the rich and powerful.

Bank Of America Workers Organize Against Closures As Execs Get Big Bonuses

Bank Of America Workers Organize Against Closures As Execs Get Big Bonuses:

"Last year, while the bank crashed, CEO Ken Lewis made $6,019 an hour"

According to a recent report by New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, Bank of America issued $3.33 billion in cash and stock bonuses to executives in 2008, despite receiving $45 billion in bailout funds

The United States has become dangerously dependent upon the whims of foreign investors, to help finance its massive budget deficits -

monetary base rise - money printing - inflation

- and prevent a surge in long-term interest rates, which would have a devastating impact on the US economy.

If bond or currency traders detect that big investors in US government bonds, such as China, Japan, OPEC, Russia, and Brazil, have ceased to buy US Treasury debt, or worse yet, are becoming net sellers, it could spark a sharp slide in US Treasury notes, sending yields sharply higher, and ignite a free-fall in the US dollar.

AIG, new loss of $62 bill in 4th quarter of 2008. Governement already owns 80% of AIG

As result of the earlier interventions, which included a $60 billion loan, a $40 billion purchase of preferred shares and $50 billion to soak up the company’s toxic assets, gov owns 80% of AIG.
Now the deal would have the government commit another $30 billion.

CitiGroup, Bank of America nationalized?

"It may not be de jure nationalization but I think it’s de facto nationalization"

The U.S. government’s decision to pledge billions of additional dollars with strings attached to Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp. may be nationalization by another name, according to former bankers and regulators.

Citigroup, based in New York, tumbled 56 cents, or 15 percent, to $3.11 yesterday on the New York Stock Exchange. Bank of America plunged 97 cents, or 15 percent, to $5.71. The 24- company KBW Bank Index has dropped 38 percent in 2009, following last year’s 50 percent decline.

While avoiding steps taken by the U.K., which this week acquired a 70 percent stake in Royal Bank of Scotland Plc, U.S. regulators are no longer passively injecting capital into the nation’s biggest banks.
Investors have fled, sending Citigroup and Bank of America down by more than 50 percent this year, on concern that tougher U.S. oversight is coming
