A defiant and unrepentant Nancy Pelosi says that she has no regrets about her time as House speaker. In a TV interview yesterday with Diane Sawyer for ABC "News," the terminated speaker declared that not only did she not have any regrets about her four years as speaker, but she also truly believed that she did the right thing and also "worked very hard" in her work to make sure the American people understood that.

Barack Obama is to give an interview to Ryan Seacrest on election day, confirming his irrelevance as president at this stage in his first term. While Obama could have at least tried to help his party's chances by appearing on a more credible network that reaches a much bigger audience than little old Ryan Seacrest (Don't confuse him with Kelly Clarkson!), say, like Fox News, he turns tail and chooses to go on a laughable host's trivial radio show.

Barack Obama was shouted down by liberal AIDS activists while campaigning to rally Democrats in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on Saturday afternoon. This is only the latest, further mortifying episode of normally pro-Democrat hecklers who have defiantly shouted down Obama at one of his event stops designed to "fire up" a Democrat Party that seems increasingly fractured and disunited as the midterms approach.

Money was not sucked off the map of America by alien forces, it just stopped flowing. WAGE VOUCHERS could get it flowing again. In fact, dream jobs could be created as WAGE VOUCHERS turn an unemployment check into a Pay for Services Check from your favorite employer, for 1-2 days, or whatever the equivalent of the unemployment payment.

This article looks at the emergence of the problem in African political situation. It traced the problem to both political and economic policies that is faction in line with colonialism. The article stresses that unless conscious action is taken there can be no meaningful change that can take place.

Election Day came and went, but the fight is not over.

It is hard to believe that our elected representatives signed a bill for hundreds of billions of dollars and never read a word, but it's true. However, this is not the first time: under a law passed by our irresponsible Congress last year was their ill conceived approach to regulating products for children that contain lead.

I agree, paint containing lead that can chip off of a toy and be placed into the mouth of a child is dangerous, but that is hardly the case when it comes to books where ink does not chip off of its pages.

Tax competition is a term you are going to be hearing a lot in the next few years.

Low taxes create growth and prosperity; high taxes strangle it. Government that take a larger share of their nations wealth cause businesses to fail, citizens to become unemployed, and economics to shrink. Governments that take a smaller share of their citizens wealth allow business to grow, individuals to become prosperous, and economies to flourish.

How do I get affordable legal advice?

Have you ever wondered what your legal rights were in a situation?
Bad things happen to good people. Do you know what your rights are when these bad things happen? Most people either ignore the problem hoping it goes away, or shell out hundreds of dollars for an attorney. Mostly likely the problem does not just go away. Also, you may or may not be happy with the advice the attorney just gave you that you paid for. You can have access to an attorney and ask endless questions to find out your rights without paying an arm and a leg. In fact, the more you use the service, the more the value you receive.

Identity Theft is becoming a pandemic
Are you protected from all 5 forms of Identity theft?
People commonly have 2 misconceptions about identity theft. The first one being that they have no money or have bad credit so a thief can have their identity. The second misconception is that there is only one type of identity theft - financial. These concepts can not be further from the truth. There are 5 types of identity theft: driver's license, criminal/character, social security, medical, and financial. What is being stolen is your IDENTITY, not necessarily what is in your bank account.

So you voted for Barack Obama thinking he will change the world, end the Iraq war, etc?

Yeah, he sure will change the world. He's already spent more money than any president in American history (as if our government spending wasn't high enough) on bailing out all the sorry excuses for corporations that can't manage their way out of grade school.

If you follow the financial news and I am guessing more and more people are these days you might have noticed something quite disturbing this morning.

Three major oil companies have posted their third quarter results and the numbers are staggering. First off Exxon mobile the world's largest company posted profits of 14.8 Billion dollars. That's 14.

Do you read the papers every day or get on to your computer to check out the world news? If you have you might not read all the news has to offer in the ways of the government and their spending. Our government has gone up in smoke and is now trying to make money appear from out of the air, so to speak. If they can't make enough and find some way to cover this nonexistent money, they will have to ask us to let them raise our taxes.

Have you ever wondered where our nation's pride went? You used to ask someone about what was the biggest thing that they loved about this country and you could see the fire in their eyes when they would talk about this country.

Now it seems like if you would go around and ask this same question, you might not see this fire as bright. It seems like the spark has all but gone out for some of us because we don't feel like this government is out to help this country or us.

Up coming Election, remember history

This week 30 year mortgage rates rose over half a point. This is the largest one week increase this year. It's interesting that the rate increases happened after the bailout was passed by the government. Although this is not a sign the bailout will fail its not a positive sign of its future effectiveness. The primary purpose of the bailout was to influence banks to lend.

I was browsing the latest IBD poll and it finally struck me. I had this idea brewing for the past few weeks now and this particular poll hit a nerve.

As you know a massive government bailout was passed with the goal of saving the economy. The Oct. 4, 2008 front page headlines in the SJR "Bailout is coming, but will it work?" Good question. In my opinion the headline should have been "Bailout coming, was it necessary?"

The bailout represents much more than the $857 billion dollars of your tax money pledged to be spent to save the economy.

The need for tax shifting - lowering income taxes while raising taxes on environmentally destructive activities - in order to get the market to tell the truth has been widely endorsed by economists. The basic idea is to establish a tax that reflects the indirect costs to society of an economic activity. For example, a tax on coal would incorporate the increased health care costs associated with breathing polluted air, the costs of damage from acid rain, and the costs of climate disruption.

It is not about regulation and de-regulation, as Washington lawmakers would like you to believe. It is also not about the inability to control derivative transactions, as self-styled experts are claiming on your television sets. In fact, if the facts are closely scrutinized, the alarm bells are all ringing the wrong jagged tune. What we are facing today is the complete lack of comprehension of the very nexus which triggered the most remarkable phase of capital accumulation following the Second World War.
