The entire Congress spent a couple of weeks trying to agree on how to spend $800 billion.

Now Geithner, the financial insider who couldn't figure out how to pay his taxes properly, is busting out a plan to spend $1.7 trillion and no one gets to vote on it???

As in the end of the floating currency regime and a return to fixed exchange rates. This could be somewhat good for the U.S. but the downside potential is frightening.

I believe that the financial crisis is real and that action must be taken soon if the government is to attempt to alleviate the problem. However, there has been no reassurance by any party, including the originator of this bailout, Mr. Paulson, that this plan will be effective, or further that it will be the final step needed to avert this crisis.

Per the petition submitted to Congress by highly respected economists we would be better served by a commission process whereby experts and congressional members could formulate a plan with care and consideration.

Pay very close attention to what our candidates propose as a solution to the current economic crisis. Someone will be left holding the bag - most likely taxpayers. A bigger issue is preventing this from happening again (at least for a long while) and that means we need investigation, prosecution, legislation, and regulation.

"I think the puppet on the right shares my beliefs." "I think the puppet on the left is more to my liking." "Hey, wait a minute, there's one guy holding out both puppets!" - Bill Hicks

Clinton is the puppet on the left. McCain is the puppet on the right. Big money is the guy holding out the puppets. Sure, we'll take the puppet on the left if that's the best we can do. If that is all we are left with.

Have you ever been behind one of "those people" at your local grocery? You know, the one that takes a while to checkout, but ends up paying $50 for a big cart of groceries? Well if you would like to be that person read on...

Well, almost free. What if you could do a little reading and web surfing and turn a $40 investment into $1050? Sounds crazy right? Everyone would do it. So why aren't you?

Probably because like most people you think grocery coupons are a hassle and a waste of time. Yep, grocery coupons. I didn't believe it either. I've only been doing coupons for about a year and I have saved a few thousand dollars.

bondad's diary today on a middle class panel at YKos inspired me to share this pint-sized economic issue for the edification of childless DKos members.

If you have a child/children of your own none of this will come as any surprise, and you will probably agree that I have a "bargain" baby. Follow me below to see what a new baby costs in the first year, assuming everything is good.

Tomorrow is colloquially known as "Turkey Day". While the big bird does have it's devotees in my family I think of it as "Pie Day".
