Meet America's 25 Richest Politicians
zero hedge - on a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero
Per the just released OpenSecrets list of top 25 wealthiest politicians in America, there are 12 republicans and 12 democrats (and Hillary, whatever she is). While we applaud the diversity among the country's richest "representatives", we can't help but wonder if these people actually "represent" the common man, or the man (such as themselves) having a minimal average net worth of $28 million...
Some further amusing commentary from Before Its News:
I believe it was Emma Goldman who said, "Voting is the opium of the masses." Pitting us regular folk against each other over petty ideologies is how the elite in Congress perpetuate the illusion that we have real choice between the Democrats and the Republicans. It was true in Emma Goldman's time; it's true in our time.
Comedian Chris Rock, when asked during the last presidential election if he was supporting Barack Obama because he is black, replied that he was supporting Obama because he was the only "one-millionaire" running for office. The other candidates were all multi-millionaires. While Obama probably appears further down the list, Rock's point is well-made.The best Americans can do now is vote for the poorest millionaire.
The Center for Responsive Politics has posted the estimated minimum and maximum possible net worth of every single member of Congress and the Administration (from 2008 data) at their website OpenSecrets.org. Here are the top 25. If you want to be shocked, look only at the "Minimum Net Worth" column. If you want to be appalled, look at the "Maximum Net Worth" column.
Full list of America's finest. The fact that Nancy Pelosi' minimum net worth has been disclosed at ($7) Million does not really surprise us: all that facial self-improvement does not come cheap.

Work for Illinois 5 Years, Pay in Zero, Get $130,000 Pension
22 minutes ago by directorblue
The current posse of statist Democrats must have missed math class -- for 80 years in a row.
Of course, this delightful stewardship of the taxpayers' hard-earned dollars probably has nothing to do with this:
Meredith Whitney: 50 to 100 counties and cities could default in 2011
I will make one prediction: if 'Helicopter' Ben Bernanke tries to monetize municipal debt, all hell is going to break loose.
Work for the State 5 Years, Pay in Zero, Get $130,000 Pension...
Work for Yourself 45 Years, Pay In $260,000 Get $28,000 Social Security
Anybody see a problem here?
This is what happens when you live in a state with no accountability, no transparency and massive political malfeasance. You and I are in effect tax slaves whose purpose in life is to work and pay exorbitant taxes so the elitist politically connected public employees can live in luxury when they retire - on our dime of course.
The person from the first line of the title is Dr. Renee Hartz, a thoracic surgeon hired by the University of Illinois to teach surgery. I am only guessing about what she actually did because records of her activity are very limited. In a Freedom of Information Act request I asked for her contract or offer letter outlining her job responsibilities plus pay and benefits included in her job offer. Despite pay totaling $567,479.10 per annum from 1991 to 1995 there were no records related to her hiring.
Of course, this delightful stewardship of the taxpayers' hard-earned dollars probably has nothing to do with this:
Meredith Whitney: 50 to 100 counties and cities could default in 2011
Financial analyst Meredith Whitney recently warned that a muni bond crisis "is the largest threat to the U.S. economy." She is noted for predicting the 2008 Wall Street meltdown months in advance....state and local tax revenues remain well below pre-recession levels, with some cities and counties flirting with bankruptcy. Emergency federal aid to the states runs out this spring. Public employee retiree costs are a fast-growing problem. And the federally subsidized Build America Bonds program expired Dec. 31, making munis a less attractive investment...
I will make one prediction: if 'Helicopter' Ben Bernanke tries to monetize municipal debt, all hell is going to break loose.

How The $1.4 Trillion In Bank "Phantom Income" Is Really An $84 Billion (0.5% Of GDP) Consumer "Phantom Stimulus"
zero hedge - on a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero
A few days ago Robert Lenzner of Forbes had a column discussing what he termed "phantom income" created by $1.4 trillion of delinquent mortgages, based on an analysis from TrimTabs' Madeline Schnapp. As usual, we decided to bypass the messenger and go straight to the source. Below is Madeline's clarification on the issue. As we expected, it is not so much an issue of bank mortgage fraud and cash flow deficiency (which by now everyone knows is pervasive, and everyone knows is being backstopped each and every quarter by the GSEs to the tune of tens of billions of dollars every three months like clockwork). Incidentally, a topic we are surprised nobody in the media has picked up on, is that indeed banker bonuses appear to be running well below last year's levels for many institutions. The reason: while accounting gimmickry allows banks to pad their bottom line, it does little to actually stimulate the cash flow statement. And since investment bankers prefer to be paid with cash and not out of accounts payable, the truth is that banks are actually hurting when it comes to actual cash retention: a big red flag to cut through all the FASB accounting fraud. But back to Schnapp's point: a far more important observation, and one which we have been claiming since 2009 is the primary reason for the consumer "renaissance", is that the "phantom stimulus" which allows consumers not to pay their mortgages (with the banks' and the GSEs' blessing) is equivalents to about $84 billion annually, or 0.5% of GDP. Add to that the $120 billion in payroll tax cuts and $60 billion in "Make Work Pay" tax credit, and one can easily see how that government's fiscal largess immediately accounts for more than half of the projected 2011 GDP growth, the other half being more than accounted for through (now years of) inventory restocking.
We asked Madeline to elaborate on her $1.4 trillion number. Here is what she said:
It was a number taken out of context.
Here is the context using back of the envelope calculations.
There are currently about 7 million delinquent mortgages in which homeowners are not making payments.
Average mortgage probably $200,000
That means there is somewhere in the neighborhood of $1.0 to $1.4 trillion in non-performing loans that exist somewhere in the system which need to be wrung out of the system if we are ever to get the housing market back as a healthy sector of the economy.
Phantom Stimulus coming from non-performing loans?
Since the average time to foreclose is 484 days and homeowners aren't making mortgage payments and instead are now pocketing their payments, there is a transfer going on from the mortgage servicers who would ordinarily be the recipients of the payments, to the pockets of consumers.
If we assume a mortgage payment is $1,000 per month or $12,000 per year, then conceivably you could be looking at $84 billion annually in extra income to consumers to spend or save.
To put that amount in context, it is greater than the $60 billion "Make Work Pay" tax credit, and is about 2/3rds of the $120 billion extra money that is supposed to come from the 2% payroll tax cut. Or in GDP terms, its in the neighborhood of 0.5% of GDP which is a lot considering Q3 GDP was only 2.7%.
In our view, that's an interesting way of stimulating an economy.

White House: we were shocked that Tucson memorial crowd hooted and hollered throughout because our APPLAUSE signs were actually quite discrete
Doug Ross @ Journal
I don't know what you thought while watching the memorial service in Tucson, but the raucous crowd's cheers, shrieks and crowing struck me as wildly inappropriate and -- at worst -- borderline disrespectful. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said he was surprised at the crowd's behavior as well.I will say that I read the speech several times and thought that there wouldn't be a lot of applause if any. I think many of us thought that. But I think there was a celebration, again, of the lives of those who had been impacted. Not just at that grocery store but throughout the country. And I think that, if that is part of the healing process, then that's a good thing.
Really?
I, for one, feel certain that the White House had no earthly idea the quad Jumbotrons were telling the audience to applaud every six or seven words.Hat tips: Gateway Pundit and Larwyn.

THE CONUNDRUM OF CENTRAL BANKERS
2 hours ago by Annaly Capital
An interesting recent piece by Reuven Glick and Kevin J. Lansing of the San Francisco Fed looks to explain changes in the savings rate over time. On an aggregate level, the authors point out that the savings rate is mostly a function of:
1. Wealth – if I'm already wealthy, I don't need to save as much
2. Credit availability – if I can borrow to spend, I don't need to save as much
First, they compare wealth, measured by household net worth as a percentage of disposable income, and the personal savings rate.
You can see very clearly the two asset booms on the right side of the graph, first equities and then housing. Both of these were clearly bubbles in retrospect, and therefore not repeatable. This also tells us that the corresponding savings rate in the 2%-4% range isn't sustainable.
Second, they look at credit availability as measured by household debt to disposable income.
What's the right level of debt? As we've said before, we don't know, but it appears that 130% in 2007 was too high. This also tells us, again, that the corresponding 2-4% savings rate was likely too low. In the short run, a rising savings rate reduces GDP because personal consumption is still 70% of GDP. The rise in the household savings rate from below 2% in 2007 to above 6% recently coincided with a painful reduction in consumer spending and economic activity. Much of the stimulus, including 0% interest rates from the Fed and a slew of spending incentives from the fiscal authorities (Cash for Clunkers and the homebuyer tax credits), was aimed at stimulating spending at the expense of savings, to break the paradox of thrift endangering the economy.
The real paradox of the savings rate is touched on by John Hussman in his most recent weekly commentary, entitled "Illusory Prosperity – Ludwig Von Mises on Monetary Policy." Hussman discusses the relationship between savings and investment: "The amount of real physical investment in the economy is, and must be, precisely equal to the amount of output not allocated to consumption but instead to savings."
The conundrum of central bankers: savings is needed to fund investment. Lower savings may boost current economic growth, but at the expense of longer term economic well being.

Figures: Man who shot AZ Congresswoman in the head is a left-wing lunatic
UPDATE #3: That was fast: Detroit Free Press links Sarah Palin to Arizona Shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ)
****************************************
Why post that the guy who shot Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona? Isn't that just scoring political points off a tragedy? Let just ask this question: what would the establishment MSM be doing if this guy was instead a Tea Partier? Full. Spin. Mode. They wouldn't be labeling this guy a lone wacko, which he probably is. He wouldn't be insane or simply a disturbed person. He would have instead been painted as the very picture of the tea party. As it is, he's no tea partier. He's instead from the left fringe of the Democrat Party - that fringe that we call true communists. Via Instapundit:
William Jacobson updates that post with this: "This tweet takes on special significance in light of the crude attempts by left-wing bloggers to blame Sarah Palin and the Tea Parties for the shooting of Congresswoman Gabriell Giffords by a mentally deranged shooter." Meanwhile, Daily Kos is scrubbing its website. From Jammie Wearing Fool:
I blame such eliminationist rhetoric from the left for today's violence. and that brings me to our community organizer-in-chief who said this in the past (and especially the third one):

Such a horrible tragedy, and this guys is really unhinged. I don't even think it's his (clearly) leftist beliefs that led to this, he seems to be truly insane.
Guess folks have forgotten the liberal rabble-rousing rhetoric from last week: Piven Rings in The New Year By Calling for Violent Revolution ...
Dec 31, 2010 ... Andrew Cloward and his wife Frances Fox Piven. ... Language she and her late husband Richard Cloward made popular in the 60s. .... The Left Calls for CIVIL UNREST!
Let's Not forget when Obama said "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun"? (WSJ 6/14/2008)
When it comes to the hypocrisy of the Regressives in this matter, two words say it all:
Bill Ayers.
One of his HS friends mentioned Anti-Flag as one of his favorite bands. I doubt that they are a tea-party favorite being a left wing punk band and all.
It is not just "left-wing bloggers" who are pointing to Sarah Palin and the Tea Party. I just listened to WCBS Newsradio 880 - AM from New York City and their 8:00 am report on the crime ALSO mentioned Palin and the Tea Party. This is the CBS flagship news radio station, news - sports -weather 24 hours a day, 7 days a week ... and its signal reaches me in Rhode Island. It's not just NYC!
Sen McCaskill - "...pitchforks..."
Obama - "...punch back twice as hard..."
Baldwin - [something like] "kill...Hyde"
Daley - "...SKS up your butt..."
