This from CNSNews: Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Friday that Congress should stop placing legal limits on the amount of money the government can borrow and effectively lift the debt limit to infinity. On Bloomberg TV, “Political Capital” host Al Hunt asked Geithner if he believes “we […]
Hostess, the baker maker of such great American iconic foods as Twinkies, Cupcakes and Ding-Dongs, as well as the relatively more healthy Wonder breads, has decided to close up shop after a prolonged strike by its workers eventually exhausted the company’s remaining resources. Here’s the question of the day: When will the federal government and the […]
What is a Fiscal Cliff? It is a term used by those who would scare the people, to convince them something dire is about to happen. Unless, of course, Congress and the President do what they should to avert it. Where is the news? The news will be if Congress and the President, a President […]
