		<description>the recovery may well be in full swing aloha and pasadena, because soooo many small business people are closing their shops and soon to be closing more, and putting their dough in the stock market.  10% unemployment, but the stock market is very bullish. why?  the 10% unemployment is here to stay unless someone is willing and able to clear out 2/3 of all regulations on business, and 1/2 the taxes.  2010 is the year of zero inheritance tax and will see the biggest boom in transfers in the form of stock/bond portfolios in our history.  but to those who believe jobs are coming back, you got your change, and you better start looking for gubmint jobs.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Gaffes in federal reports this week about stimulus have called into question the government’s ability to accurately track how many jobs are being created...&lt;/em&gt;

Okay, I&#039;m gonna say what I think most people are thinking: This has nothing to do with &quot;ability to track&quot; anything, it has to do with the fact that the White House has become a gigantic propaganda machine, spinning out distorted data and misinformation to support the Obama administration position on whatever.

You&#039;re never going to get the straight skinny from these people; it&#039;s always going to cast whatever the current policy du jour is, in the most favorable light.

You let the Chicago Democrat machine into D.C., that&#039;s what you&#039;re going to get.</description>

		<description>For weeks, months, I have followed the FDIC debacle with interest.  Over that period of time several things became apparent.  

First, the FDIC was writting larger and larger checks on an account that was already largely overdrawn. 

Second, the methods they were using to &quot;solve&quot; these problems were not solutions.  

Third, that behind the scenes, there had to be secret talks, pleadings, threats, etc., to get banks to play along, that were obvious to the skilled bankers that it was nothing more than a shell game.

Fourth, the public wants blood, so the government has been dangling Ken Lewis as a possible sacrifice to the mob.  Other have been hinted at.  But what did he do wrong?  If they attempt to sacrifice him and it falls apart, will the emperor be shown to have no clothes. 

Last week there were no FDIC takeovers.  This week only &lt;blockquote&gt;  The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was appointed receiver of San Joaquin Bank, based in Bakersfield, Calif. It had $775 million in assets and $631 million in deposits as of Sept. 29.&lt;/blockquote&gt;    

I suspected that last weeks hiatus from closures was more than just a end of fiscal year turnover.  I suspect now I was right 
&lt;blockquote&gt;The FDIC is backed by the government, and deposits are guaranteed up to $250,000 per account. But the deposit insurance fund has fallen into the red. The FDIC board recently proposed to have U.S. banks prepay about $45 billion of their insurance premiums - three years&#039; worth.

That plan isn&#039;t a long-term remedy for the depleted fund. But it would spare ailing banks the immediate cost of an alternative idea: paying an emergency fee for the second time this year. And the FDIC still has billions in loss reserves apart from the insurance fund.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I call BS on that last line.  If they have billions in loss reserves then they are not in the red.  And would not have to put the touch on the remaining banks for this advance payment scheme.  

Like any thief or liar sooner or later the story simply does not add up.  The FDIC is getting sloppy with their lies.  This my friends is a real sign of our economic predicament.  When the regulators lies are so apparent the end is really closer than we care to think about.</description>
