Interesting thing about that dried-up credit -- since August commercial banks have increased their loan activity at an accelerating rate on a year over year basis!

and then I listened to some of the tape. Is it really selling the Senate seat or is it political payback peddling?
(as if that doesn't go on, hell, half of Obama's cabinet is pure payback perk)
I found that coincidental just like Spitzer getting busted for call girls about the time he was launching into an investigation on the financial sector.
No one, outside the far right wing of the Republican Party, such as Mitch McConnell cares about what Bush says. Yes, he's still 'in charge' and every move he and his inept, thieving minions is being shadowed by Obamas' Chicago operation and will be met with a correction once Obama is in.
The era of one psychotic fool and his deluded followers is over. Obama has the stones to squash anyone who gets in his way and I expect him to do so. As to my linked post, do not, do not think that this episode is lost on millions of workers in similar position. And Obama lent the 'bully pulpit' to the principle of equity for those who shower after work. He did so in a timely manner. One could not ask for a better response short of him visiting the factory. And that may come.
The implications of Obama's and the worker's actions here should not be lost on anyone.
I know, they should be all over this story on why some companies just get handed wads of cash and others are denied and why specifically that is and they are not.
If you caught the Friday Night Video on the privatization, corruption, bloat, no bid contracts, (and no one even mentions the many DHS contracts where they get billions for technology that absolutely will not work in the field, some of the stuff has a > 5% error rate in lab conditions!)
and since it's off the radar I thought maybe something had improved, but nope, those same companies it appears have gotten more money!
is their immunity from irony and double-standards. They act like they cannot even see them, and the media absolutely refuses to call them on it.
If it wasn't for the Daily Show you would never even hear about it from your TV.
is better than it looks, and they realize we're in a big pile of doo-doo (there are a bunch of Great Depression experts, I vaguely remember enjoying reading Christina Romer's articles), and so what I'm hoping is that they will be open to innovation, even if some of them were knee-deep in business-as-usual with Clinton.
Economic Policy Institute, as I said, seems to be the best "mainstream" economics think tank out there -- they managed to have become one of the main sources for the N.Y. Times on economics, for instance.
And those for who yearn for the days of Dixie only you won't be a slave because of your skin color your 'credit' rating or 'net worth' will be used instead.
'Overseers'
Welcome to the Plantation!
These terms are more useful, I assert, in sorting our yer Democrats into subcategories.
OT: I got a chance to hear Pelosi making comments about the Big 3 'Lifesaver' she really did not make much sense in the context of the economy as EPers understand it but hey! Them's the breaks.
This is a lesson not only for free marketers, but also protectionists. Unless your *entire* supply chain is a known quantity, your business is in danger. Unless you understand where the things you routinely consume come from and personally know your suppliers, your lifestyle is in danger. And the breaks can come from bankruptcy, war, or even just some dictator someplace deciding to nationalize a part of your supply chain.
All, as you know the blogs are supposed to be for original writing, in depth, some "meat" to them and they start out published on the front page.
Users have to vote them off the front page.
But did you know you can promote an Instapopulist or forum post to the front page?
Yes you can!
While Instapopulists (forum posts) are for those short check this out with a quote posts, when you see something you think should get more attention or is more like a blog post, more in depth, good, shocking news, critical, just vote it up.
That little arrow box at the bottom left isn't a place holder, it's a promotion box and a demotion system and will literally move posts around the site, to the front page or all the way to not visible by anyone (a real troll post).
If the posts gets enough votes, it is moved to the front page for more visibility.
Milton and Flat Brain. Maybe there will be an economic documentary called "Capturing the Friedmans". ;)
Had on one executive after another claiming they weren't going to make the numbers because of credit issues.
Not bad for a dead guy.
...by marriage. He probably pays the MSM to put him on.
I mean, after we were told Armageddon was imminent and credit would completely dry up ... and yet there it is in the Federal Reserve statistics.
Either the companies are BSing, or the banks are.

I'll have more hopefully tomorrow or Thursday.

I think that's how they got Kudlow. LOL!
My question is how do these idiots get on TV? Thomas flat brain Friedman is now all over the news and being quoted.
Jesus, can't they simply grab a homeless person, spruce them up and have them be a talking head expert on cable TV?
The insight would probably be better.
Seriously, these people do not have any credibility with me, where do they get them?

I found this to be a little too coincidental.
Within 24 hours of the Ill. Governor threatening BofA's business, he winds up in jail.
I'm not questioning whether he should be in jail. I'm only questioning whether the authorities might have been prompted to move more quickly.
That is one win for workers. If they had not given BoA such bad press, it sure wouldn't have happened.
Should be an Instapopulist in and of itself!
Once certain people got involved to back the worker's play. Read about it here:

These are not useful terms. I would suggest:
'Corporatist'
'Corrupt'
And those for who yearn for the days of Dixie only you won't be a slave because of your skin color your 'credit' rating or 'net worth' will be used instead.
