From Powerlineblog.com via Breitbart.tv comes this new video. As an aside, Obama may not have a clue about economics, but we noted that Geoge Soros just slipped into the Forbes 400 richest top ten, increasing his net worth to a whopping $22 billion up from a paltry little $7.8 bil in 2010.

And when the liberals scream for more taxes, remind them that what they need are more tax revenues…not tax rate increases. It isn’t about fairness as Obama believes…it’s about good business. But of course, he knows nothing about that.
The way to increase tax revenues is by encouraging and nurturing the economy, not punishing it with higher tax rates.

If the U.S. were a publicly held corporation, there would be screams for the dismissal of management. But our current management will simply blame someone else (perhaps Sarah Palin or those crafty Tea Party Terrorists caused it).
On Monday (and before), this will ripple across the global markets and will ultimate find its way down to the ordinary citizens of the U.S. who, already in difficult financial straits, will find their sky just a little bit grayer.
Here are links to a few interesting articles which discuss the consequences of the downgrade…
US downgrade heralds a new financial era (Financial Times)
China bluntly tells U.S. to end its ‘addiction to debts’ (Washington Post)
And from the WSJ a week ago, an article in which “Morgan Stanley economist David Greenlaw doubts the rating agencies have the guts to downgrade the US”…

Whadda hero! What I particularly liked was the loud ‘thwack’ that echoed about the room when she landed her first shot…

Austan Goolsbee, Obama’s longtime economic guru, has had enough and will return to his academic post at the University of Chicago in time for the fall semester. He’s done enough damage at the national level and needs to get back to his job of misleading fresh minds at the B-School. Source: Reuters.
Too bad he’ll never figure out that progressive/liberal/Keynesian economic theory just doesn’t work in reality. Too bad he and Obama didn’t listen to Vlad Putin when he warned them…Socialism Doesn’t Work!

From this morning’s New York Post “Big Trump news due today” (by Sean Daly)…
Donald Trump plans to announce today whether he’ll fire himself from “Celebrity Apprentice,” a source told The Post last night.
The billionaire businessman, who has been mulling a run for the White House, has been trying to decide whether to trade his TV show for politics.
He is scheduled to meet with NBC’s bosses early this morning to give them his final decision — just hours before they are supposed to present their plans for the new fall season to advertisers.
“He’s really torn,” the source told The Post. “But he can’t do both.”
Trump was especially moved by a visit from NBC Universal boss Steve Burke, who is also the executive vice president of the network’s parent company, Comcast, the source said.

Just so you will know, we follow Trump because, of all the potential republican candidates, he is the only one to take the fight directly to Obama and his devoted fans in the media. So in that spirit, we will post links to the initial reports of his luncheon talk today at the Greater Nashua Chamber of Commerce Business Expo.
First in, from the Nashua Telegraph, we have Trump holds court at Nashua Chamber luncheon.
And just in a few minutes ago (2:03 PM), this report from NECN.com (video of speech at source), Donald Trump: U.S. has made Iraq the ‘Harvard of terrorism’ .

I grew up watching and reading Milton Friedman…he was one of my childhood heroes. Trump may be singing a popular protectionist tune, but here is the true song regarding trade. By the way, I don’t think Trump is a protectionist, but his calls for “fair” trade sometimes can be misinterpreted as such. That said, I think he is correct to demand that China stop manipulating its currency.
