Government restructures AIG bailout package
Schwarzenegger tells backers of gay marriage: Don't give up: The governor expresses hope that Proposition 8 would be overturned as protesters continued to march outside churches across California.
To state the obvious: the job of judges it to keep governments within the limits of a constitution; Prop. 8 is now part of the California constitution; so California judges do not have the authority to overturn Prop. 8. Not that something like the rule of law will stop them.
UK's Brown: Now is the time to build global society
Obama set to push ‘big bang’ reform package
"Sunday’s comments also reinforce the impression that Mr Obama’s transition economic advisory board – which includes leading lights of the Clinton era, such as Lawrence Summers and Robert Rubin – is tilting heavily towards a “big bang” approach that would combine a short-term stimulus with large public investments to raise the longer-term US growth rate."
To help an economy recover, a government needs to cut spending, reduce taxes, and pay off debt (as the the federal government did in the early 1920s and in previous economic downturns). Obama's plan will lead to long-term economic disaster.

Obama Calls for Stimulus Package
President-elect Obama explains the first part of his plan to create another Great Depression:
"He said it was an “urgent priority” to extend unemployment insurance benefits for workers who could not find jobs in the bleak economy. He also said he would give aid to states, create new jobs and move forward with his tax-cut plans for middle-class families."
This will guarantee that:
1. People have less incentive to find work.
2. Scarce resources are directed away from productive businesses that provide jobs.
3. We increase the amount of public debt.
U.S. Government Debt: The Mother of All Adjustable-Rate Mortgages
Imperialism, Immigration, Insolvency
"The U.S. federal government's current method of accounting makes that of former Enron Corporation look almost pristine. The long-term imbalances in the nation's entitlement programs, including Social Security and Medicare, are not integrated with the rest of the budget, although in the private sector, ignoring retiree health and pension programs would be illegal. If the federal government properly accounted for its explicit and promised liabilities, it would record a national debt of $63.7 trillion in 2006 and a national deficit of $2.4 trillion. [...]"
