POPSShine "Light Of Scrutiny & Accountability” On The Nation’s Financial System Pelosi said,“We want to take our country in a new direction for the middle class.” Something else that should be looked into: Barney Frank’s relationship with a former Fannie executive named Herb Moses. Frank told reporters Friday that starting in January, Congress will “have a major role.” “We have to rewrite housing in America. … It would be highly irresponsible if we were to stop here,” he said. “Now we have to perform more serious reform.” Yet, she mentions nothing about the accountability of people like Sen. Chris Dodd, or Franklin Raines or Jamie Gorelick, the latter two having made millions off of Fannie while the organization itself was sliding into government conservatorship.

POPS Americans Believe Entrepreneurs Will Revive Economy Because they understand the role of entrepreneurs as a creator of jobs, Americans are looking to business leaders instead of government, by a two-to-one margin, to lead the way out of the economic mess. A majority of people (56 percent) trust small business owners to guide the economy, compared with only 14 percent who trust members of Congress.

"History has repeatedly demonstrated that new companies and entrepreneurship are the way to bolster a flagging economy. The American people understand this," Schramm said.

POPSIs Helping-Out Also Bailing-Out? While the House failed to pass the $700 billion bail-out, the FDIC is pledging millions to Citigroup for its Wachovia deal. That could be, in effect, a different flavor bail-out.

POPSHugo Chavez and Our Constitution First, I think we should use the constitution that we have. Maybe we wouldn't have all the problems that we are currently having. And of course spoken like a true left wing loon, "It was capitalism that caused the ruin." No, Hugo, do your homework, it was the ruling elite in this country that caused the ruin.

POPSCollege Classes Closed Due to Gas Shortage Gosh, when I was in school, we were never this lucky! (Just kidding.) So far, I've been lucky. I happened to fill up just before this latest crunch, but I have a couple of short trips coming up, and that will eat into my gas tank. It was bad enough to be paying $4 a gallon... now I have to be glad to get it!

POPSThe True Cost of Rewarding Greedy Bankers Note the names of some of these great institutions that rewarded greed. Note the immediate cost to UK taxpayers. I would be interested to see figures relating to the taxes of US citizens' tax bills compares. (Oh, meanwhile, Barclays in London have just guaranteed 2.5 billion dollars in bonuses and salaries to a firm called Lehmans that they just bought a bit of.)
