Surrounded By Reality

Madison, WI has been described as "43 square miles of land surrounded by reality". Actually, I think it's 77...... Being a Madison native I liked this title. Agree or disagree, the important thing is to get involved and learn what's going on and how it affects you..

What Influences Politics? Take a look...

If you don't think campaign contributions play a big part in politics-take a look...

Goldman Sachs

Any wonder that Henry Paulson (former CEO of Goldman Sachs) is Treasury Secretary? Have you seen who Paulson appointed to hand out the $700 billion bail out? A former Goldman Sachs executive of course...Neel Kashkari....

Oh and by the way, the bailout isn't just the $700B- now the Fed is going to pump in ANOTHER $800 billion or so....

Let's see:
$700 Billion pumped into the stock market in the last year or so
$700 Billion bailout of banks
$800 Billion buying short term paper

And this isn't going to affect inflation? We'll see.....
That's 2.2 TRILLION dollars- we're screwed...
