Obama Outlines Regulations Overhaul to Save Businesses About $10 Billion – Bloomberg

I’m a little miffed about this article.  No, not the fact that it was written nor what was written but that we’ve heard the same thing before from the “Hope and Change” President.  Then why this article from Bloomberg and why now?

This post may not make many friends with those I call ostiches but it’s an op-ed piece.  I don’t believe I can wake the dead anyhow.

Here is a good example of “bait and switch”.  This is how it works.

  1. Listen to the concerns of the opposing parties’ complaints.
  2. Offer a dog-and-pony show to show that you hear the complaints and that you are going to do something about it.
  3. Place blame on others as to how we got here.
  4. Vilify the action of anyone speaking out as to really say, “We will really listen, and then ignore you because you are just really parroting the villains in this situation.
  5. Do more of the same.
  6. Move on.  [.org?]  

Change we can believe in?

July 21, 2010

What I find is interesting is that the efforts of the big melt-up (upward trend without increasing volume) we saw in 2009 and the first half of 2010 is still being attempted even while things like in the article below are becoming more pronounced that we have discovered the new code words that begin another push to melt-up.

Scientific Proof… Puts Market Fairness Under Question | zero hedge

July 19, 2010

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the study referenced by Zero Hedge, Goldman Sachs settling their famous fraud case with the SEC, the way major legislation is passed in Congress these days, and many more little pieces of information we call news all combine into a very unsettling view of today’s financial markets. I’m focusing on just a few in this article because more could be a book.
