		<description><![CDATA[And that is exactly what the recent string of government bailouts amount to: a short-sighted, desperate attempt to avoid paying the piper.
Why?

Capital, or value that we produce and don&#8217;t consume, is.
There are 2 ways to create capital:
1) Cut up the credit cards and start spending [...]]]></description>

Citigroup and Wells pressed regulators to seize Wachovia and let them buy its assets and deposits, as JPMorgan did with WaMu, or provide some sort of financial guarantee, as regulators [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1) The Fed should not lower the federal funds rate today.
2) The government should not bailout AIG.
Let&#8217;s end this so we can move on (told you it was 2 cents).
*Update*
Just heard news the Fed is keeping interest rates steady.
This, in my opinion, was the right long-term move for the American economy.
Now let&#8217;s see what happens with AIG.

		<description><![CDATA[I was reading The Wall Street Journal today and saw an op-ed piece titled &#8220;Democrats Need to Shake The &#8216;Elitist&#8217; Tag.&#8221;[1]
Written by whom?
None other than Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild. [2]
Yes that&#8217;s right, as in the Rothschild Banking family.
Yep, right again: &#8220;Lady&#8221; as in a British aristocratic title. 
Now Ms. Forester de Rothschild has a right [...]]]></description>
