		<description><![CDATA[Rick Wagoner, Chairman and CEO of General Motors, has given his opinion on why GM and the other three major US automakers should be bailed out. The gist of it is that GM is too big to fail. That is, the consequences of GM failing would be disastrous for the nation, not just the auto [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Monday congress will hold hearings on speculation in oil markets. Politicians hope this will boost their image with voters as it creates the impression that they&#8217;re doing something to bring the price of gas down, but as usual, the government has found a convenient scapegoat who they have no real intention of going after, [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m not surprised to hear Democrats coming up with strange explanations, but why Republicans can&#8217;t explain it or are failing to explain it is [...]]]></description>

From the WSJ:&#8220;Globalization and technology and automation all weaken the position of workers,&#8221; he said, and a strong government hand is needed to assure that wealth is distributed more equitably. I don&#8217;t know about you, but that&#8217;s one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some say a recession (two quarters of negative growth) is coming. Some say it&#8217;s already here. And every time a recession comes around politicians start talking about how to &#8220;stimulate&#8221; the economy. I&#8217;m sure Ben Bernanke is a smarter guy than I am, but since when has that stopped me from spouting my opinions? So [...]]]></description>

According to this guy, the head accountant for the feds, we&#8217;d all have to pay $400K to the government, today, just to get out of the mess we&#8217;re in. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So Arizona just passed a law that punishes employers who &#8220;knowingly&#8221; employ illegal immigrants or the &#8220;undocumented&#8221; as we now call them, as though all that separates legal immigrants and illegals is that the illegals misplaced their paperwork somewhere.

Is it just me or does that number seem rather insubstantial? But aside from that, this merely gives me a segue into addressing an issue I&#8217;ve been wanting to say something about for years, [...]]]></description>
