You thought you were paying excess FICA taxes so that there would be enough money to pay your Social Security in your retirement, but that was never the intention. The intention was to raise your taxes and cut taxes on the rich.<br /><br />The whole point of every charade version of “strengthening Social Security” is to insure that the income of the system is enough to pay the benefits that are due that year, hopefully with an overage that can be swallowed up in the General Fund and used keep the taxes on the rich at the lowest level since the time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. The Catfood Commission, the Great Compromise, the Gang of Six, the Chained CPI, and all other plans make it clear that the elites of both parties intend to complete the theft from the Social Security Trust Fund by raising your taxes and/or cutting your benefits.<br /><br />You are not represented in the halls of government.

'Some Laye...08/08/2011<br /> <br />Jesse Jackson on Obama<br />'Some Layer of the Excitement is Gone'<br /><br /><br />SPIEGEL: Critics say that the Obama government is simply too close to the financial community. Princeton professor Cornel West called President Obama a 'mascot of Wall Street.'<br /><br />Jackson: I would not use that kind of language. But we have some incredibly powerful forces for Wall Street in Congress. The laws are stacked for the wealthy.<br /><br />SPIEGEL: In Obama's White House too?<br /><br />Jackson: Just as he has an economics advisor, I wish there was a labor leader to balance that too. The poor and unemployed currently have no voice in Washington.<br /><br />SPIEGEL: During the recent negotiations on the debt ceiling Obama agreed to billion dollar cuts in public spending and received no tax increases in return from the Republicans. Is he too willing to compromise?<br /><br />Jackson: I think he sometimes underestimates the force of the other side, how tenacious they are in their ideology. A few weeks ago, during the debt ceiling negotiations, Obama went golfing with John Boehner, the Republican speaker of the House. Afterwards, they said their differences are not ideological, not philosophical. Really? If Republicans say they want to cut public spending drastically, they want to cut social security and Medicare and the social safety net for poor and working families, and cater to the wealthiest Americans, then that is a different philosophy. If the Tea Party is determined to kill the New Deal and Great Society programs we won in the past, that is a different ideology. And if the right wing of the Republican party is determined to shield themselves from tax obligations or to fight the Civil War again by pushing voter suppression legislation to take away minority voting rights across the country, that is also a very different ideology. <br /><br />http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,778990,00.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173940490303025576.post-2436347511839390432011-08-07T12:39:03.657-04:002011-08-07T12:39:03.657-04:00Sunday, August 7, 2011
James Galbraith on How Frau...Sunday, August 7, 2011<br />James Galbraith on How Fraud and Bad Economic Thinking Got Us in This Mess<br /><br />I highly recommend to you, if you haven’t done so, that you read the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission Report just published in the United States, or the even more recent report of the Senate Permanent Committee on Investigations, the many reports of the Congressional Oversight Panel and the report of the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Fund, SIGTARP. These are, by the way, very, very good documents prepared by serious public servants and it’s plain as day. Fraud was not a bug in the system, it was a feature. The word itself, along with abusive, egregious, reckless and even criminogenic suffuses these accounts of what went on.<br /><br />The financial world, as it exists, has nothing to do with the commodity world of real exchange economics with its delicate balance of interacting forces. It is the world of technology at play in the form of quasi mass produced legal instruments of uncontrolled complexity. It is the world of, in other words, of evolutionary specialization in the never ending dance of predator and prey. In nature, when predators achieve an overwhelming advantage, the prey suffer a population crash, from which the predators in turn suffer later on. In economics it’s a financial crash, but process and dynamics are essentially similar.<br /><br />Corporate fraud is not new; financial fraud is not new. What was new here was the scale and complexity of debt obligations, backed by mortgages.<br /><br />http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2011/08/james-galbraith-on-fraud-and-how-bad-economic-thinking-got-us-in-this-mess.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173940490303025576.post-56185564051001549782011-08-05T14:18:55.102-04:002011-08-05T14:18:55.102-04:00Defense Secretary Leon Panetta warns against more ...Defense Secretary Leon Panetta warns against more cuts in Pentagon budget<br /><br />Senior Pentagon officials have launched an offensive over the past two days to convince lawmakers that further reductions in Pentagon spending would imperil the country’s security.

Wrongdoers H...Too Big to Fail or Too Big to Change<br /><br />Wrongdoers Have Largely Escaped Government Penalties<br /><br />While the SEC has reached several settlements in connection with misconduct related to the financial meltdown, those settlements have been characterized as “cheap,” “hollow,” “bloodless,” and merely “cosmetic,” as noted by Columbia University law professor John C. Coffee in a recent article. Moreover, one of the SEC’s own Commissioners, Luis Aguilar, has recently admitted that the SEC’s penalty guidelines are “seriously flawed” and have “adversely impact[ed]” civil enforcement actions. “We continue to have in place…a misguided approach to how to weigh factors one considers when deciding whether to seek a corporate penalty…and the Commission fails to appropriately focus on deterrence,” Aguilar explained.<br /><br />Federal judges have not been the only ones to criticize the SEC’s settlements. Journalists have portrayed the SEC’s agreements with corporations and their senior officers as “paltry” and a “win” for executives, and have chastised the regulator when it failed to impose any penalty whatsoever. For instance, in a recent Rolling Stone essay, Matt Taibbi described the SEC’s failure to levy sanctions against Lehman Brothers (“Lehman”) and its former CEO, Dick Fuld, as “tantamount to the state marching into Wall Street and waving the green flag on a new stealing season.”<br /><br />http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/corpgov/2011/06/25/too-big-to-fail-or-too-big-to-change/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173940490303025576.post-10836287951009601102011-06-09T09:20:28.683-04:002011-06-09T09:20:28.683-04:00Thursday, June 9, 2011

That doesn’t sound like much (and it isn’t), but it was two and a half times the then-minimum of 24 cents an hour.<br /><br />This infuriated American corporations like Hanes and Levi Strauss that pay Haitians slave wages to sew their clothes. They said they would only fork over a seven-cent-an-hour increase, and they got the State Department involved. The U.S. ambassador put pressure on Haiti’s president, who duly carved out a $3 a day minimum wage for textile companies (the U.S. minimum wage, which itself is very low, works out to $58 a day).<br /><br />Well, hey. Imagine Haitians doing things for their “unemployed and underpaid masses” rather than rich Yankee corporations. The outrage! No wonder we have 9.1 percent unemployment and 16 percent underemployment here while the folks who sent the economy in the tank are back making millions.<br /><br />Let’s do a little math. Haiti has about 25,000 garment workers. If you paid each of them $2 a day more, it would cost their employers $50,000 per working day, or about $12.5 million a year.<br /><br />http://www.cjr.org/the_audit/a_pulled_scoop_shows_us_booste.phpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173940490303025576.post-67850822509043941452011-05-21T18:31:49.907-04:002011-05-21T18:31:49.907-04:00Judge Napolitano: Rampant Violations Of The Consti...Judge Napolitano: Rampant Violations Of The Constitution<br /><br />http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?singlepost=2557636Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173940490303025576.post-22118894109548507572011-05-19T13:42:54.417-04:002011-05-19T13:42:54.417-04:00At least you knew where bush was coming from....

The Wall Street Journal describes the Martin Act as “one of the most potent prosecutorial tools against financial fraud” because, as opposed to federal law, it doesn’t carry the more difficult standard of proving intent to defraud.<br /><br />http://www.thenation.com/article/160738/eric-schneiderman-one-lawman-guts-go-after-wall-streetAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173940490303025576.post-58814911665441828882011-05-18T20:56:32.733-04:002011-05-18T20:56:32.733-04:00Philly Fed Finds Economic Conditions For Low And M...Philly Fed Finds Economic Conditions For Low And Moderate-Income Families Deteriorated Under The "Wealth Effect" Mandate<br /><br />All seven indicators for this survey were below the future expectations reported by respondents to the previous survey."

And experts have pointed out that in addition to these junk fees and/or excessive fees, the servicers apply payments in a manner contrary to Federal law and the terms of the mortgage (to fees first rather than principal and interest first) which leads to fee pyramiding:<br /><br /> The other problematic area showing up in the trustees’ inquiries relates to what Mr. White calls improper default servicing fees. These include charges for legal work, property inspections, insurance and appraisals.<br /><br /> Often, the fees charged to troubled borrowers are not even specified. Trustee program officials found a defaulted borrower who was charged $10,260.50 in “prior service fees” with zero documentation. In another case, a borrower fell behind after the lender doubled his escrow payments with no explanation or justification. Then the bank filed a motion to lift the bankruptcy stay so that it could foreclose.<br /><br />http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2011/05/us-trustee-estimates-significant-servicing-errors-at-10x-level-claimed-by-banks-and-parroted-by-federal-regulators.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173940490303025576.post-44611710151672043582011-05-11T19:46:59.143-04:002011-05-11T19:46:59.143-04:00The People vs. Goldman Sachs

This is America: Corporate stealing is practically the national pastime, and Goldman Sachs is far from the only company to get away with doing it. But the prominence of this bank and the high-profile nature of its confrontation with a powerful Senate committee makes this a political story as well. If the Justice Department fails to give the American people a chance to judge this case — if Goldman skates without so much as a trial — it will confirm once and for all the embarrassing truth: that the law in America is subjective, and crime is defined not by what you did, but by who you are.<br /><br />http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-people-vs-goldman-sachs-20110511?page=1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173940490303025576.post-79944883586446813012011-05-11T10:03:49.664-04:002011-05-11T10:03:49.664-04:00"Change, like falsehood, feeds upon itself.

According to a letter that came in the mail today, that new rate would apply "indefinitely." If you make a single late payment, B of A may raise your interest rate to as much as 29.99%. The new rate would only apply to new purchases, not existing balances (that's one of the few good things about the CARD act), but according to recent surveys over 15% of customers have made at least one late payment in the last 12 months. (I know we've done it once or twice.)<br /><br />From a free market perspective, the new late payment policy isn't terrible, but in practice it still stinks. That's because, like most fees and penalties charged by banks and credit card companies, it will be more onerous for the poorest and most vulnerable.<br /><br />http://dailybail.com/home/bank-of-america-to-start-charging-30-on-credit-cards.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173940490303025576.post-4855998103725385822011-05-06T12:29:47.566-04:002011-05-06T12:29:47.566-04:00That's putting it lightly...Obama is on trail ...That's putting it lightly...Obama is on trail everyone how great the job number is...hmmm<br /><br /><br />Memo to Bernanke: It's Called Blowback, Baby (May 6, 2011) <br /><br />But there is another kind of blowback brewing in the U.S.: the negative consequences of massive covert manipulation of the domestic economy by the Federal Reserve and agencies of the Federal government.

The institutions which are reporting the "proof the economy is recovering" will lose what remains of their credibility, as will a Mainstream Media which has unquestioningly "reported" the distortions as fact for years.<br /><br />All this coordinated misinformation and distortion is setting up the delegitimization of the complicit institutions, which include the Federal Reserve, the Treasury, the White House, Congress, and all the agencies tasked with documenting the "recovery."<br /><br />Today the stock market is rallying on the wondrous "news" of hundreds of thousands of new jobs created--the last of the three metrics which the Status Quo needs to complete its picture of "recovery." As the gap between the "good news" and reality widens, the forces of blow back and de legitimization only coil tighter. <br /><br />http://www.oftwominds.com/blogmay11/blowback5-11.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173940490303025576.post-13162090950667075592011-05-03T11:07:18.888-04:002011-05-03T11:07:18.888-04:00Perhaps the most effective scam of all time is the...Perhaps the most effective scam of all time is the construction of the false left/right paradigm. Anyone who does not understand this fundamental fallacy of our political system will never be able to understand the bigger picture of how our government works or why or “elected” officials do the things they do. If you cannot accept the fact that both major parties are essentially the same, supporting the same primary legislation and differing only in rhetoric, then you will probably attribute the constant failings of our leadership to “greed” or “stupidity”. This is simply not the case.<br /><br />When Obama went back on his election year promises to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and pull troops out (there are still thousands of troops and private contractors in Iraq too, for those that bought the second pullout lie), for instance, or when he decided to support the Patriot Acts after criticizing them, this was not because he has a bad memory, or even because he wanted to win your vote. He made promises and then nixed them because that’s HIS JOB; to perpetuate the false idea that the Democratic Party is anti-war, and different from the Republican Party.<br /><br />http://www.alt-market.com/articles/115-circus-clowns-and-sideshow-freaksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
