How will the U.S. Service its Debt?

Global Insolvency

By: Bob Chapman

How can the US conceivably extricate itself from debt? That is $1 to $2 trillion deficits annually as far as the eye can see. It is already bogged down in an occupation in Iraq and a war in Afghanistan that stretches into Pakistan. That is all off budget, but it stretches already to more than $1 trillion. Then there is the phony, phantom war on terror the cost of which is unknown.

The Crisis Is Not Over

By Paul Craig Roberts

Readers ask if the financial crisis is over, if the recovery is for real and, if not, what are Americans' prospects. The short answer is that the financial crisis is not over, the recovery is not real, and the U.S. faces a far worse crisis than the financial one.

FHA Defaults Foreshadow A Crush Of Foreclosures

By Dina ElBoghdady and Dan Keating

February 02, 2010 "Washington Post" -- The share of borrowers who are falling seriously behind on loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration jumped by more than a third in the past year, foreshadowing a crush of foreclosures that could further buffet an agency vital to the housing market's recovery.

Deficit deja vu

Heartland Institute
by Steve Stanek

02/05/10

President Barack Obama Tuesday (Feb. 2, 2010) introduced his budget for next fiscal year. To put it into perspective, consider this: The estimated budget deficit — just the deficit — almost matches the entire federal budget when George W. Bush became president in 2001. A strong case could be made that Bush and Obama represent the most fiscally irresponsible back-to-back presidencies in national history...

How government (mostly) created financial crisis

Orange Punch
by Alan Bock

02/05/10

Of course, there are reasons that the narrative survives and, in fact, dominates most conventional discourse — not surprising given that the president has the biggest megaphone in the country, and most of the media simply parrot him: The financial crisis was caused by private greed and unwarranted risk-taking, even ‘predatory lending.’ People in government want you to believe they saved us from all that and have the formula to prevent it ever happening again, if we’ll just cede them the power. So the role of government policies and institutions in creating the crisis is an inconvenient aspect that we don’t need to mention in polite society. That’s why a book like Johan Norberg’s ‘Financial Fiasco’ is so essential to understanding the recent past and charting a course for the future...

The wrong manhood test

Cato Institute
by Christopher Preble and Heather Hurlburt

02/04/10

In last week’s State of the Union address, President Barack Obama declared that he would freeze government spending for three years, excepting Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and ’spending related to our national security.’ This week, we can see what that blanket exemption for the Pentagon will cost us. The base budget (which excludes war costs) weighs in at a whopping $548.9 billion, the largest since the end of World War II. Military spending advocates might note that this represents just a 3.4 percent increase over last year, but inflation-adjusted spending on national defense has ballooned by 60 percent over the past 10 years...

The Budget Deficit Crisis Puzzle

Dean Baker, Truthout: "The country faces a serious crisis in the form of a manufactured crisis over the budget deficit. This is a crisis because concerns over the size of the budget deficit are preventing the government from taking the steps needed to reduce the unemployment rate. This creates the absurd situation where we have millions of people who are unemployed, not because of their own lack of skills or unwillingness to work, but because people like Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke mismanaged the economy."

Congressional hearing reveals US intelligence agencies shielded Flight 253 bomber

By Alex Lantier

The revelation that US intelligence agencies made a deliberate decision to allow Abdulmutallab to board the commercial flight, without any special airport screening, has been buried in the media. As of this writing, nearly a week after the hearing, the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and Los Angeles Times have published no articles on the subject. Nor have the broadcast or cable media reported on it.

100 Tage Streit, Chaos und soziale Kälte

3. Februar 2010

Die schwarz-gelbe Bundesregierung ist 100 Tage im Amt. Der Bundesgeschäftsführer der Partei DIE LINKE, Dietmar Bartsch resümiert:

Jedem war klar, dass mit Schwarz-Gelb an der Regierung kein soziales Paradies zu erwarten ist. Was die Regierung Merkel dann wirklich abgelieferte, ist auf nahezu allen Gebieten eine denkbar schlechte Vorstellung. In die ersten 100 Tage der Amtszeit fallen 100 Tage Streit und Chaos in der Steuerpolitik, fast 100 Tage Debatten um Gesundheitspolitik und Kopfpauschale, ein haushaltspolitischer Blindflug ohnegleichen. Steuergeschenke an Unternehmen und Besserverdienende, undurchsichtiges Spendengebaren und pure Klientelpolitik. Dazu ein gefeuerter Verteidigungsminister, der Unterlagen unterschlagen und die Öffentlichkeit getäuscht hat. Außenpolitisch verfolgt die Regierung einen Kurs, der Krieg als Mittel der Politik festschreibt. Und immer wieder Streit, Zerwürfnis und Chaos. Auf der anderen Seite stehen 100 Tage ohne konkrete arbeitsmarktpolitische Maßnahmen gegen die Folgen der Krise, stehen 100 Tage ohne Maßnahmen für eine verantwortungsvolle, friedliche Außenpolitik, ohne Ansätze für eine sozial gerechtere Politik, ohne dringend notwendigen Mindestlohn. 100 Tage Raubbau an Bürgerrechten, hin zum gläsernen, nacktgescannten Bürger und eine Energiepolitik, die auf Atomtechnik setzt und Energieunternehmen reich macht. Das waren die ersten 100 Tage. Das Problem: Es folgen noch 13 weitere 100 Tage.

Gesundheitskommission ist eine Farce

Der stellvertretende Vorsitzende der LINKEN, Klaus Ernst, kritisiert die Regierungskommission zur Gesundheitsreform als "Farce". Die CSU müsse jetzt den Worten Taten folgen lassen und die Koalition mit der FDP beenden, wenn sie die Kopfpauschale wirklich verhindern wolle. Er erklärt:

Diese Kommission ist eine Farce. Die Regierung macht sich lächerlich. Da sitzen jetzt acht Minister zusammen und verhandeln den Koalitionsvertrag neu. Scheinbar haben Merkel und Seehofer bei der Unterschrift geschlafen und nicht gemerkt, dass die FDP ihnen da die Kopfpauschale untergejubelt hat. Vor allem die CSU muss jetzt endlich den Worten Taten folgen lassen. Wenn sie die Kopfpauschale beerdigen will, dann muss sie diese Regierung beerdigen. Man kann nicht heute gegen den Kahlschlag im Gesundheitswesen polemisieren und sich morgen mit den Sozialstaatshassern von der FDP an einen Kabinettstisch setzen. Die Kopfpauschale ist unsozial. Wenn sie zu niedrig ist, reicht das Geld nicht für eine ordentliche Gesundheitsversorgung aus. Wenn sie zu hoch ist, können sich viele Gesundheit nicht mehr leisten. Der angebliche Sozialausgleich macht Millionen ohne Schuld zu Sozialfällen. Das ist Hartz im Gesundheitswesen. Es gibt nur eine echte Alternative. Wir brauchen eine Bürgerversicherung. Alle zahlen entsprechend ihrer Leistungsfähigkeit ein. Alle sind versichert. Dann wäre Gesundheit bezahlbar und gerecht finanziert.

Emanuel to meet with disabled activists after calling liberal activists “retarded”

The Special Olympics announced Tuesday evening that members of the disabilities rights community will meet Wednesday afternoon with White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, after the fiery Chicagoan admitted to having referred to some liberal activists as ‘f—ing retarded.’ Emanuel was quoted in the Wall Street Journal last week making the comment in an August meeting with some liberal activists who were threatening to run TV ads against conservative Democrats hesitant to embrace President Obama’s approach to health care reform...

The Rahm problem

The American Prospect
by Matthew Yglesias

03/04/10

Barack Obama’s presidential campaign had few leaks and little infighting, earning it the reputation of ‘no drama.’ The same spirit has mostly carried through into Obama’s governing phase — we’ve heard very little about whatever fights have occurred inside the White House. But that’s changed lately, most notably with two salvos in The Washington Post — one nominally an opinion column from Dana Milbank and the other nominally a news piece from Jason Horowitz — both arguing that Obama wouldn’t have so many political problems if he had only listened to Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel’s advice...

What are the consequences of Obama’s $3.8 billion budget?

FreedomWorks
by BPeck

Instead of choosing to abandon the Keynesian tax, borrow, and spend philosophy for which he has become notorious, Obama will continue to raise taxes for hard working Americans, increase discretionary spending faster than the tax dollars come in, and therefore create more debt for the current and future taxpayers of America. I’m not exactly sure how this approach exemplifies fiscal responsibility; a priority that Obama emphasized the importance of achieving during last week’s State of the Union Address...

Who would know from all of the whining about budget deficits that military spending is the largest discretionary item in the federal government? Exempting all security-related expenditures from common sense cuts will have serious consequences for almost everything the government does - -from job creation, poverty reduction and alternative energy development, to aid for cash-strapped state and local governments. In fact, the Economic Policy Institute reports that non-security-related discretionary spending is already at near-historic lows as a share of GDP...
