Follow up to her appearance on the Daily Show last year.

Ron Paul proposes getting ready for the inevitable.

I just stumbled across this.

Elizabeth Warren’s brief comment on the financial history of the US is enlightening.

Wow: The Big Takeover

And I used to wonder why Plato and Aristotle had such a problem with usury.

The above factoid comes from an interesting essay by Martin Armstrong that has been circling around the Net (find one here: The Coming Great Depression).

Bear in mind when reading, however, that Mr. Armstrong, in addition to being of sharp mind, a frequent contributor to academic journals on the topic of finance, as well as one of the highest paid economists in the 80s and 90s, had spent seven years jailed in contempt before finally pleading guilty in 2007 of what appears to be a Madoff-sized ponzi scheme in Japan.

And be sure to read the comments in response to Cassandra’s post about Marin Amstrong. The rabbit hole goes deep.

Ron Paul calls Bernanke out on exactly what he plans to do: Flood the market with even more credit.

I agree with Ron Paul. Pandora’s box has been open for quite a while now. There’s nothing but a vacuum left to try and re-inflate.

Saw this on Lifehacker. Excellent.

As reported on MSN Money.

Note to self:  Get out of Bank Of America.

By way of Digg.

By the way, why are we bailing out the people who invested in the cows, while letting real industries twist in the wind?
