I sure hope that Obama's renewed interest in the health care debate isn't too little too late. He's almost allowed it to just fizzle out.
Karin Hussein : Huh? It's moving along.
Right now it can get stalled in committee, or watered down by the Senators, or stopped dead and killed outright by the Blue Dogs, who are highly motivated to do so.
How Obama expected Kennedy to lead on this due to his illness or Dodd to be anything but compromised, is just beyond me. And the fact that until this weekend he's been playing coy on the public option has allowed its opponents to get away with far too much ground.

rootless--I'd be interested in seeing your fully explicated analysis of why atrios' take on the financial crisis is "shallow". Until then, I'll stand with atrios, calculated risk, Krugman and Elizabeth Warren in my skepticism that this is more than a temporary fix that in ignores the fundamental decay and abets the further theft of our collective treasure.

There's no simpler example than the many posts Atrios made sneering at GS and JP Morgan's statements about how they were going to pay the TARP funds back - something that only naive Lucy football kicking chuckleheads could believe was possible.

i don't think spiral is the right word for what that fucking thing was.
"GREGG: Well, first, it’s not a monolithic group. About 20 million of those folks earn more than $75,000. They’re basically young people who opt to spend their money on something other than health care insurance."
Um, there are only 14 million households making more than $75K with head of household up to the age of 44.
That's right.
Mo, Larry and Curly.
Morris and Samuel Horowitz, Lawrence Fine.
Am I completely clueless? I've always thought of affirmative action as corrective, not distortive. An unfortunate aspect of human nature is the tendency to want to associate with one’s own kind. Affirmative action corrects that.
Where are the bad assets that they claime were the cause of the collapse in the first place?
dont' we the taxpayers pretty much own that now? and isn't the money we gave the banksters the reason they can claim all this profit? that was my impression.

Labor activists are hoping they can do for the 100 employees of the Quad City Die Casting factory in Illinois what they did for workers at Hartmarx Corporation and Republic Windows and Doors: Wring concessions from bailed-out banks by making a ruckus.
The Moline manufacturer of engine parts told its employees that they'll be out of work come July 12. The company is declining to comment to the press, but the union is pointing its finger squarely at Wells Fargo, which it says recently refused to continue extending credit.

Fried said Wells Fargo is being stingy about extending credit because the bank is eager to improve its capital situation and pay back the $25 billion bailout it received from the Troubled Asset Relief Program.
"They want to get out from under the TARP money because they want to get out from the scrutiny," Fried told the Huffington Post. "They're hoarding."

It wasn't an individual constituent.
Franklin Roosevelt's example is useful here. After his election in 1932, FDR met with Sidney Hillman and other labor leaders, many of them active Socialists with whom he had worked over the past decade or more. Hillman and his allies arrived with plans they wanted the new President to implement. Roosevelt told them: "I agree with you, I want to do it, now make me do it."
Nobody ever died under our awesome system.

Exactly. But what that shows is that under Geither, Treasury has been a lot tougher on the banks than they expected and has actually been looking out for the public interest. Not to say he's following anything like a progressive policy, but it's just incorrect to keep pretending that it is all one big scam.
And good on the Fed for hanging tough on the warrants. What kind of a profit on the TARP funds does this repesent?

I have four complaints with their analysis. First, it has overemphasized personality - Larry Summers is an ass, but that's not going to determine policy. Second, it has consistently assumed that Obama is a chump for whoever is advising him. Third, they have not understood the fundamental divisions in the corporate elite - Jeff Immelt does not support the same policies as Ken Lewis. And finally, neither Atrios nor Krugman have been willing to go back and look at why their predictions keep being wrong.

That is true, but we got nothing back from GS on the $37 Billion that we gave to AIG, which went directly to GS, back in September. AIG was GS largest creditor.
The Fed also gave JPM a $30 Billion gaurantee on Bear if I recall, JPM was out of pocket maybe $230 Million. Sweet.

Look, you still have a job. You can look for another position while working, which is a great thing.
And in case you still have a job when the dust settles, you're in even better shape.
Hang in there.

Moe Howard was born on June 19, 1897, in Bensonhurst, New York, a small Jewish community on the outskirts of Brooklyn. Moe's real name was Moses Horwitz. Moe's mother's name was Jennie Horwitz, and his father was clothing cutter Solomon Horwitz. Moe was the fourth eldest of five Howard brothers. Two of Moe's brothers, Jerome (Curly), and Shemp performed with him as members of The Three Stooges. Moe's other two brothers, Jack and Irving, never entered show business.

i knew a guy who worked backstage when Steve was still with Journey and performed in this area. he told me that before the show, Steve asked him to find attractive pre-teen boys and bring them backstage after the show.
Ick, Vicki, and do you get a suit allowance with that? and an in-office dr. on call?

So, under Paulson, the bailout was a pure scam. Obama and company came in after $350B had been sent out and the government had already entered into all sorts of one-sided agreements. There is no doubt that the politically powerful wall street banks got a major deal. The argument is about post January 2009 policies of the US government.
Vicki-- Sounds like your Powers That Be know nothing, either, but persist in trying to be authoritative anyway. But the kabuki is as good a strategy as any, given the circumstances. Best wishes.

You are right - I stand corrected.

Weird, we were just talking about morale. I'm an advocate for treating your employees with respect, and giving them the best that you can (within reason, obviously). This new VP of marketing and PR has quite the reputation for being a hard-nosed ass (it's well known in the field). She had an employee -- a manager, for god's sake -- who had a son who was competing for a state title in the track finals in another city, and she wouldn't let her leave 2 hours early on a Friday afternoon to watch the kid compete.
That kind of shit is BULLSHIT, imo.

Title: White House putting off budget update
Tom Raum, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON – The White House is being forced to acknowledge the wide gap between its once-upbeat predictions about the economy and today's bleak landscape.
The administration's annual midsummer budget update is sure to show higher deficits and unemployment and slower growth than projected in President Barack Obama's budget in February and update in May, and that could complicate his efforts to get his signature health care and global-warming proposals through Congress.
The release of the update — usually scheduled for mid-July — has been put off until the middle of next month, giving rise to speculation the White House is delaying the bad news at least until Congress leaves town Aug. 7 on its summer recess.

When the doctor removed the packing from my nose after my septum operation last summer, I almost blacked out. He said it was a particular nerve response that some people are very sensitive to.
Never felt anything like that before or since.
o.k. gotta do things now.

Plus, GS and others are still allowed to ignore mark-to-market valuation and treat their large shitpiles as if they were good assets. If they recognized the actual hole in their balance sheets, little if any TARP money would be getting paid back. It's all very accommodating.

interestingly, imdb reports his name and his brothers' names as horwitz, but his dad's name as horowitz. handwritten records in 19th century nyc were not always the best.
As I see it, last year there was the market realization that the age of cheap oil is over-- that partly explained the commodity bubble.For the previous few years it was masked by easy credit based on non-existent assets.
Prices have come back down to $60/barrel, but the paper wealth that supported it all no longer exists. They're desperately trying to recreate that paper wealth, but it's even more smoke and mirrors.
I don't know how you "recover" to pre-financial collapse levels of trade without doubling the price of oil, and I don't know how you return to economic growth when the price of oil doubles.
There are ways out of this-- replace oil, for one-- but it takes decades, not some banking sleight of hand.
Really, anybody telling me that we are in a "post-racial" society, and that "hard work" is all that is needed to succeed is well and truly full of shit.

Hell, I hope he doesn't ANY kids.
vicki, i'm sending warm thoughts your way. hang in there, woman. and have chick call me sometime.
everyone i know in a corporate job has stories like that. it's chilling. it seems like the new management style is "cajole, threaten, berate and abuse" and those kinds of managers/executives are the only ones allowed anymore. i hope that's not true, but it sure seems like it.
Yeah, Gummo, I hear you.

Speaking as a genealogist, I agree wholeheartedly.
I've gotten real good at reading old birth and death certs since I've taken up that hobby.
California leaders are HOPING for agreement this week on how to plug a $26 billion hole in the state's budget that has prompted it to issue IOUs to cover government bills.

Why am I not surprised. The audacity of it all and everything.
I mean, why would I expect 'experience' to matter in politics. I only need a good communicator who can read a teleprompter, right?
Maybe

If they pay the money back now, then they can keep wanking each other with large piles of cash until the TRUE collapse, when they can go fuck themselves.

Fucking Obama!
Used to be...
I was accessible. Everywhere...buses, BART trains, drinking establishments, even at work somewhat...
Now...
You find me only at the video rental place every night, plus the grocery store at 9pm on a Saturday night.
(And you would be surprised how much business follows me through the door.)
Fuck off, troll.
I no longer watch tv.
I barely listen to the radio in my car.
I might buy a newspaper once in awhile...
But usually, if you want to know..."what I'm doing"...
You come here to witness how I STOP California's agenda in Washington DC.
And that's exactly what happened, folks. So now what? You expecting a big trading day or something?
(Maybe you want to be in my living room then, when I turn on my cable tv, right?)
Fuck off, troll.

Start some new sheets then.
The argument is about post January 2009 policies of the US government.
I don't know that anyone agreed to limit the timeframe to the past six months, especially since Geithner was involved prior to January, and Bernanke is still sitting in the same chair that he's been in for a couple of years at the Fed. That's my point.
You can only say that GS & JPM have paid back the taxpayer money, with interest, if you ignore all of the looting, which I'm not. Coupled with the lack of transparency, in that we can't even see who the hell the Fed has been shoveling money at, never mind terms, call me sceptical. Pick your timeframe.
