ATLANTA— I’m no Congressional historian, but I have to imagine the 111th Congress will ultimately be rated among the worst in our nation’s history. And what a way to finish! Hustling to shove through another highly controversial, 1,900 page bill just ahead of the holidays. Barely able to pull together enough votes to pass it. Same story- different year. [...]

This one piece of the compromise plan also explains why growth after next year is likely to be weaker, not higher, than the current optimistic predictions. The problem is the nature of that growth. In the past century both parties and the economists behind them have focused on the business cycle, their theory being that [...]
Hillary Clinton to Resign due to WikiLeaks Scandal!?
Posted in Current Events, Domestic Affairs, Economy, tagged Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton to Resign, Secretary of State, WikiLeaks on November 30, 2010 | 32 Comments »
ATLANTA– I am finding the fallout from the WikiLeaks document release to be utterly fascinating. While most of the revelations have not been all that surprising, the increasing indications that Hillary Clinton may have skirted the edges of international law truly are. Not three weeks ago, the media was openly discussing whether Hillary Clinton should challenge Barack [...]

ATLANTA— Martin Feldstein wrote a great column that was published over the weekend in the Washington Post about how Barack Obama and Congress could reduce the budget deficit without technically raising taxes.

ATLANTA— The General Motors initial public offering was completed yesterday to much fanfare, with GM raising $15.8 billion, the second highest IPO in history (second only to VISA in 2008).

ATLANTA— I really couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome of last week’s elections, but I view 2011 with some trepidation as well.
