The Fed can’t solve our economic woes

Cato Institute
by Gerald P. O'Driscoll, Jr.

08/16/10

Temporary spending and tax breaks are always dubious, and especially so now when the rational motivation is to save more and consume less. One-off tax credits for homes, for example, merely borrowed sales from the future. These fiscal programs predictably depressed rather than augmented future consumption. What is in short supply is not liquidity, but savings. The Fed can supply the former but not the latter. Both fiscal and monetary polices need to shift their focus. The Fed has done the heavy lifting and responded more than adequately to liquidity issues. Now there is little further it can do that is beneficial...

Shashank Bengali, McClatchy Newspapers: "While US courts and the Obama administration have been reluctant or unwilling to pursue [torture] cases, countries that once backed former President George W. Bush's war on terrorism are carrying out their own investigations of the alleged US torture program and the role that their governments played in it."

We had three industries collaborating in crimes of industrial proportions - real estate, finance (with the collusion of ratings agencies) and insurance giants like AIG.

Another undeclared war that won't make Americans safer is foolishly pursued.

Let me begin by asking: What harm would befall the United States if we actually decided, against all odds, to close those hundreds and hundreds of bases, large and small, that we garrison around the world? What if we actually dismantled our empire, and came home? Would Genghis Khan-like hordes descend on us? Not likely. Neither a land nor a sea invasion of the U.S. is even conceivable. Would 9/11-type attacks accelerate? It seems far likelier to me that, as our overseas profile shrank, the possibility of such attacks would shrink with it...

The Obamacare disaster

The American Spectator
by Peter Ferrara

08/18/10

The bottom line is that you will lose your health care under this legislation, if not your job, your country as they bankrupt America, and maybe ultimately your life or the life of a loved one. All that to make dreamy, emotionalized, liberals happy, even though many of them are not happy because the socialism in the bill is not overt enough. Moreover, the promises made to the American people to pass the bill are shown in the study to be thoroughly false...

The ugly truth

CounterPunch
by Sheldon Richman

08/18/10

Let’s get something straight: to be an enemy of American occupation, bombing, and ‘nation building’ is not the same thing as being an enemy of America or its people. It’s time Americans understood that. When you invade another country and people there object, even forcibly, they are not aggressors. You are. To understand this, imagine our being invaded by a foreign military force. Would resistance be aggression?
