Just in case you missed it…Unions didn’t cause the financial meltdown

So, our economy is in recovery now, did ya hear? Good news for Wall Street, bad news for everybody else but when it comes to our politicians let’s be honest, beyond Wall Street is there really an America? Ask homeowners facing foreclosure. Ask the people who are unemployed, who still aren’t getting hired. Ask the people trying to get loans, who’ve been turned down by … Continue reading Just in case you missed it…Unions didn’t cause the financial meltdown

My State of the Union…

But they’ll be far below the highest estimates made over the summer by legal experts and prominent Wall Street banks, such as Goldman … Continue reading BP’s gonna be okay…coastal residents?

British Petroleum, the Government and BlackRock – the Connection?

After initially talking tough, the relationship between British Petroleum and the government has seemed rather conciliatory. The low oil estimates and other data released to the public from the FDA, EPA and NOAA benefits BP while BP’s unwillingness to release anything returns the favor. The water is safe for fishing.
