Sarkozy lays into US health care in NYC

Source: www.watoday.com.au
    “Welcome to the club of states who don’t turn their back on the sick and
the poor….The very fact that there should have been such a violent
debate simply on the fact that the poorest of Americans should not be
left out in the streets without a cent to look after them … is
something astonishing to us.”

5th UPDATE: JPMorgan’s Dimon: Still Chance Of Double-Dip Recession – WSJ.com

Source: online.wsj.com
    “Greece itself would not be an issue for this company, nor would any
other country,” Dimon said. “We don’t really foresee the European Union
coming apart.”

California, however, could be another story. Given the size of the
state and its economy, “there could be contagion” if the state would run
into problems in servicing its debt, he said.

Ron Paul’s plan to fend off pirates – Yahoo! News

Source: news.yahoo.com
Ron Paul has the same idea as me: PRIVATE BOUNTY HUNTERS, the government hasn’t been able to capture Osama & today is the 8 year anniversary. I propose a $1 Billion bounty, privately funded by Insurance Companies of Wall Street. He’s calling on Congress to consider using letters of marque and reprisal, a power written into the Constitution allows the US to hire private citizens to keep international water safe.
