October 14, 2008 - So with the government buying up stakes in all the major banks, the free market economy is pretty much dead, right? Oh well, it had a nice long life before that commie Bush White House finally had their way and forc...

October 14, 2008 - It's not just the working man who's finding himself strapped for cash. The McCain campaign recently had trouble filling seats for a $25 thousand-per-plate fundraiser in Manhattan, mainly because the same corporate executives and Wall Street moguls who can afford to attend the event are the...

October 1, 2008 - In college I took only one semester of Econ (and just barely passed), but even I know that we are not in an "economic crisis," a "recession" or a "depression," but a much bigger condition that economists call "the end of the United States."

September 30, 2008 - What's happening to America? The stock market dropped 700 points and the bailout bill died. Rep. Boehner (R) says the bill didn't pass because Rep. Pelosi (D) gave a partisan speech, and Rep. Frank (D) called the GOP a bunch of babies, which sounds accurate. They're all...
