BlackRock, a Little-Known Firm, Becomes a Titan
Goldman Sachs forecasts big increase in heating oil prices“They have access to information when the Federal Reserve will try to sell securities, and what price they will accept. And they have intricate financial relations with people across the globe,” Senator Charles E. Grassley, Republican of Iowa, said. “The potential for a conflict of interest is great and it is just very difficult to police.”
Without naming BlackRock, federal auditors have warned that any private parties that purchase distressed assets on the government’s behalf could use generous federal subsidies to overpay, artificially pushing up the price of similar assets that they manage for their own portfolios.
“In other words, the conflict results in an enormous profit for the fund manager at the expense of the taxpayer,” Neil M. Barofsky, the special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, wrote in a report last month.

Obama Would Sign Credit-Card Bill With Gun Amendment
How these two were originally connected I have no idea, but I can guess why:
President Barack Obama would sign legislation to curb credit-card fees even if it contains a provision allowing visitors to U.S. national parks to carry guns, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said today.China Sez: Modern economics overlooks animal spirits and psychologyThe Senate passed the credit-card measure yesterday. The House of Representatives has begun debating the measure and is scheduled to hold a final vote today.
Obama’s acceptance of the gun amendment removes an obstacle to the credit-card legislation becoming law.
Unholy Idolatry, Batman. Start smashing.
Capitalism successfully reduces human life to an art of accumulation, and no where is the art so perfected as in the United States.For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. ~ Ephesians 6But even in that paradise for economic exercise where consumption is king and hypersensitized to credit, the sudden economic slowdown makes some wonder what's wrong with the economics.
"Animal Spirits: How Human Psychology Drives the Economy, and Why It Matters for Global Capitalism" by George A. Akerlof and Robert J. Shiller attempts to explain some of the inherent flaws in standard economic principles from the perspective of psychology.
John Maynard Keynes said long-term rational calculation could not account for such economic decisions as opening a mine, building a factory or constructing an office building.
Such decisions "can only be taken as a result of animal spirits."
