    Laws, Upon Laws, Upon Laws

    After seeing the length of the final health care bill that just passed, it prompted me to do some quick research. This isn’t a debate about the healthcare bill that just passed Congress. That dead horse has been beaten already. What concerns me as much as what the bill says, is the length of the [...]

    White House attacks the Fox network

    Wow, this is a real eye-opener to say the least. The White House is attacking the Fox News channel because their commentators and news people criticize the president’s stance and actions. Funny thing is, the Fox News channel is more unbiased than any news channel on the TV today. Take a look yourself….you’ll see more [...]

    Do we HAVE to pay federal income tax?

    Actually, no…….no we do not. There is no law stating that we are obligated to pay as U.S. citizens. Instead, it’s based on voluntary participation.  However, the federal government would have you think otherwise when they threaten to throw you in jail for failing to file your income tax return. This movie is a must [...]

    Mirroring the 70′s or the Depression?

    I caught a program over the weekend on the History channel that compared our current economic condition to teh Gread Depression. The show made a case for the current government involvement in the economy (bailouts) by referencing the lack of government involvement in the early days of the Depression. I tend to disagree with this [...]

    National Debt in Perspective

    In these times of bailouts and economic woes, a money management site has put the national debt into terms the avarage family can understand. As the article states, “Mortgages aside,  43% of US households spend more than they earn in a year”. This is a scary stat in and of itself. However, the US government [...]

Gorelick earned an estimated $26 million serving as vice chair of Fannie Mae from 1998 to 2003. In 1998, according to the Washington Post , [...]
