Just take a look at this piece. Deapite the nonsense spouted about how much "faith" people have in Bernanke (um, he had the smallest margin of support for any fed chair EVER), the piece DOES cover all the new ways in which Bernanke can manipulate and mess with the market. Not good.

And not much different than early Nazi Germany.

They say that employers HIRED X, but they GOT RID of X+Y!

Incredible. But then again, what should one expect? The major nets have always been driven by the political prejudices of those working at them. Any pretense to "objective" journalism is a sham. After all, the people who work at the networks and major news agencies are PEOPLE, and are incapable of being "objective". We are all subjective creatures.

If viewers and readers would stop imagining that the news people were somehow blessed with oracle-like wisdom, we'd all be a lot better off.

The federal gubment is ready to impose requirements on fast food restaurant owners to force them to post calorie content in all their establishments. How anyone can justify employing the force of government to tell anyone how they run a restaurant where customers VOLUNTARILY enter the place, and are free to turn to competitors or make their own meals, is beyond comprehension. But it's happening.

No kidding. Manipulation of behavior and manipulation of the economy. Just two of the many activities of government that make for economic trouble.

Check out how not only are the recipients of the aid defaulting again (see a previous post), but the government can't even manage the system properly.

Nothing like following the supposed "Constitutional Rules" they swear they'll defend. Meanwhile, we who don't even look at the Constitution as a strong enough defense for liberty, and would prefer to have government eliminated, are the ones who have to call these hypocrites to task.

Strange.

Strange, how the government changing the rules for these people who couldn't afford homes in the first place hasn't seen them improve their situations. One might think that, perhaps, their homes are WAY over-valued, and need forclosures to occur to lower the prices, and that the government should stop messing with how the market naturally deals with the bogus bubble of government-inspired housing demand.

But hey, we're just people who believe in FREEDOM, God forbid anyone actually not be screwed with in the housing industry or any other endeavor! We need the nanny state to fix things for us, like... they... um... haven't done in the housing field.

Not as if we didn't already know they did this kind of thing, but now it seems that the pop media have noticed.

Again, we must reiterate that when supposed "rights" run up against spheres of government control, the government will "regulate" them away.

Try to carry a gun onto a plane. You supposedly have Second Amendment rights which can't be touched by gubment, buuut, since the feds took over the airways (in a clearly unconstitutional manner beginning in the 1920's), your right to self-protection is regulated away.

Try to record video in many courtrooms. Nope. Yet, we've been told the gubment cannot restrict journalism...

Our upcoming audio will get into this in detail!

Is it possible that a judge might actually READ the text of the 14th Amendment "Equal PROTECTION" clause and realize it's not about "equal treatment"?

It's strange to hear so-called "conservatives" try to overlook the clear provision in the US Constitution that requires all searches MUST be supported by WARRANTS. Thus, a police officer cannot compel you to show ID without first obtaining a warrant.

http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE66R45C20100728

The provision in the AZ law that requires residents to have the "proper ID' to obtain a legal job is also unconstitutional, because it violates the "Contract Clause", which prohibits all states from interfering in private contract.

Combine fears over terrorism with the "drug war" and dislike of "illegal" immigrants, and what do you get?

Suppose we can never underestimate the capacity of politicians to rig the law so that they can get done what they desire with as few people noticing as possible. In this message from Pro-Gun New Hampshire, the federal health fascism bill is dissected to reveal a new provision that will tax all gun sales over $600, allowing the IRS to be aware of and track virtually all firearm sales (unless we who would like to be free come up with creative ways to skirt the law, such as breaking the transactions into multiple transactions, including "services" like gun-cleaning that would becomje the bulk of the sale, while the actual physical gun becomes the minor part, comprising less than $600). Take a look at what the Pro-Gun NH people found hidden in the "health care" law...

Sickening.

Ostensibly, it's to "better enforce" anti-pay-discrimination laws. But if people believe they are being paid unfairly, they can already bring suit under those unconstitutional laws. (This is not something the Feds are supposed to handle, based on the original writing of the constitution, and it is something no government should handle. The market and the rights of the property owners -- the employer, employee and consumer -- are the only factors that should have any say in these situations.)
