An independent, critical account of the American economy would soon raise questions about the structural causes of inequality. That some sectors of the economy will be doing better than others is natural. If you’re a landlord or mobile-apps coding genius in San Francisco, the economy is excellent. Those working in the vast North American oil-patch are experiencing a boom economy. Realtors in resurgent markets such as Miami are having their [...] by WashingtonsBlog
(The above is video shot by a local resident in Mayflower, Arkansas.) And take a look at these must-see pictures of the spill. No one is admitting how much oil was released. This is just like BP’s massive efforts to hide the extent and damage from the oil spill – even though their approach led to greater oil pollution – in order to avoid costs. Indeed, Senator Sander said: It reminds me of what happened on the Gulf coast. It reminds me of the [...] From Bloomberg: Cnooc Ltd. (883) agreed to pay $15.1billion in cash to acquire Canada’s Nexen Inc. (NXY) in the biggest overseas acquisition by a Chinese company. EDITORIAL It’s campaign season and the pandering about gas prices is in full swing. Hardly a day goes by that a Republican politician does not throw facts to the wind and claim that rising costs at the pump are the result of President Obama’s decisions to block the Keystone XL pipeline and impose sensible environmental regulations and modest restrictions on offshore drilling. Next, of course, comes [...] Equal Time Bashing — Little Neuter Barack Obama (aka. Hopey-Changey) is richly deserving of the bashing I gave him yesterday. But I felt a little guilty because I have not bothered to bash any of the Republican candidates for president. The reason is simple.

According [...] 1) Fine line between slowdown and stall “The world economy appears headed for several months of sub-par growth, and there is no clear source of strength to lead it back to health. After a week filled with disappointing economic data, the debate is no longer over whether the economy has hit a soft patch but how long it will last. Friday’s poor U.S. employment figures suggest demand will remain [...] by Jackson Andrew $20+Billion in OIL tax breaks to SHORTCHANGE AMERICA -THANKS CHENEY! Deepwater Horizon set off the worst oil spill in History while flying the flag of the Marshall Islands so TRANSOCEAN could AVOID TAXES LIKE IT DID IN 1999 with CAYMAN and 2008 with SWITZERLAND! BP also reaps massive tax benefits (70% write-off) from leasing the rig of $225,000/day or $82 Million/year. American OIL EXTRACTION IS THE MOST GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZED IN [...] |
