As the
red ink continues to spread across the globe, here is today's economic
news: Some Deep Schumer talk in the UK: Gordon

Rattansi talks to Max Keiser about the Dollar. Max Keiser says: "Free
market capitalism in America is dead", and: "The technical strength
of the Dollar will be short-lived." Reader H.P.D. sent us a link to Mish
Shedlock's latest commentary: The
Game is Up. Reader G.G. suggested this essay by David Roche: Blight

a proposed
piece
of legislation. Until it is passed and
signed by the Governor, it is not much more than the source of conjecture.
I hope that the sovereignty reservation movement catches
on in other states. I'll continue to publish updates.
