While most of the world is recovering economically, the US continues to flounder. Greece is highly unionized. Result? Chaos.
Is that our trial canary? We know that tax cuts work. Please feel to help with informative / shocking links regarding economics, government budgeting, what triggered the meltdown, Obama-nomics, and/or Greece.
Also note that Canada free Press reports that Soros backs Obama’s latest finance reform. [reg. post 100 of this thread]

The Money behind cap and trade.
Rather long piece, but worthwhile....
excerpt...
Fox: A ten trillion dollar market, for emissions trading?
Sandor: “We are also trading in the United States—its very important for the listener to understand that this is not a market of tomorrow: it’s a market of yesterday and today. In August, we began trading the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, which is a mandatory carbon market that stretches from Maine to Maryland. And since January, we’ve been trading 440,000 tons a day, 743, 16 a day—
Fox: Explain, how does this market get created in the first place? Is this government created in terms of credits, or is this an association where the actual amount of carbon emissions is traded in contracts?
Sandor: No. The way it works is, the government sets a cap. Let’s say you’re a utility, and the cap is 1 million tons. And each year, you have to reduce by a certain amount, to 900,000 to 800,000 to 700,000. If you’re particularly good at it, and you have a 1 million base, and a requirement to go to 900,000, but you go to 500,000, you can sell those. Suppose I’m not so good because I can’t switch easily from coal to natural gas. It takes me three years to build a new technology, then I can buy your emissions, and the systemic emissions will be lower, but you as the low-cost driver, can allow me to buy your credits temporarily to hedge myself. So its mandated by the government. The emissions are capped. The cap goes down every year. And then those people who get below their cap are incentivized to do so, because they can sell them to people who can’t put the technology in very quickly [snip]

THE U.S. FEDERAL RESERVE BALANCE SHEET EXPANDS DRAMATICALLY
http://jsmineset.com/2010/04/17/market-commentary-from-monty-guild-59/
Our friend, Larry Jeddeloh of The Institutional Strategist, in his Market Intelligence Report of April 14, 2010 brought an important point to our attention. He points out a large increase of $421 billion in the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet in the same week that the Greek Bailout took place.
The bailout for Greece was only $41 billion and the Fed balance sheet expanded by $421 billion in loans. What is going on? Obviously the Fed is lending a lot of money. Was some of it lent abroad? We do not know.
One other explanation is that the loans, the U.S. banks had kept off of their books in offshore SIV’s [Special Investment Vehicles] are coming back onto their banks’ books, and the Fed is lending against them to provide liquidity for U.S. banks. This brings us to a major question that all investors and U.S. taxpayers should consider. How did the accounting profession allow this SIV type of activity, where banks were allowed to keep liabilities off their U.S. books in the first place?
Greece in trouble, now junk status but what happened to that $421.8 billion the Fed loaned out?
