Double a No one is agreeing with my saying america has gone fascist. We now have to adjust to this new way of life. Best and most stable jobs will be working for government agencies. Private schools, & public State police Sheriff Wal-Marts as other retailers go under. Lots of street cleaners. Lots of gated communities. a different stock market. No freedom of rights for the poor. No need to vote in 12 years. I could go on and on,but best we think of Italy in the 30s and it will relate with America in 12 years completely Greed and corruption destroyed the greatest democracy that was ever known. I die with a sad heart I was the power of #1,and all the others rolled over and played died,because they had fear in their hearts. Democracy has to be fought for at times to keep it alive,and that takes people with brave hearts. In reality the Mafia had the most money and stronger will. They had a plan,and carried it out to the end. I could realize what they were up to,but had few listeners. Bert

Oracle is in the process of buying California- based Sun, but the deal is being held up by European regulators. In earlier cuts, Sun laid off 48 at its Hillsboro sites. The company once employed 600 at in its Oregon supercomputing operations, which are descended from onetime Oregon technology star Floating Point Systems.

NY attorney general files antitrust suit against Intel!
"New York's attorney general hit Intel Corp. with an antitrust lawsuit Wednesday, claiming the company used "illegal threats and collusion" to dominate the market for computer microprocessors. Following a similar case in Europe, Attorney General Andrew Cuomo claimed that the world's biggest computer chip maker paid billions of dollars in kickbacks to computer manufacturers and retaliated against those that did too much business with Intel's competitors, namely Advanced Micro Devices Inc. Intel used its market prowess to "rule with an iron fist," Cuomo said. "Rather than compete fairly, Intel used bribery and coercion to maintain a stranglehold on the market," Cuomo said in a written statement. "Intel's actions not only unfairly restricted potential competitors, but also hurt average consumers who were robbed of better products and lower prices." Intel has 15,000 Oregon workers, more than any other business in the state."

"U.S. unemployment rate tops 10%, 26-year high: There's no way to sugar coat the Labor Department report this morning that the U.S. economy shed 190,000 jobs in October and the unemployment rate jumped from 9.8 percent in September to 10.2 percent in October, a 26-year high. The New York Times reports the biggest losses came in the construction, manufacturing and retailing sectors. Dean Baker, a director for the Center for Economic and Policy Research, told the Times the report was "a pretty bad story" and said he did not expect to see declining unemployment rates until next spring. "We may be looking at very high levels," Mr. Baker said, "barring a policy response, for several years into the future." Calculated Risk reports that the current recession is the worst since WWII in percentage terms, and second worst in terms of the unemployment rate. Only the early 1980s recession with a peak of 10.8 percent was worse."

Nelson farm files for bankruptcy!
A 2,000-plus acre farm in Nelson County ('VA) valued at $15.5 million filed for bankruptcy on Wednesday, a day before it was scheduled to go up for public auction on the steps of the Lovingston courthouse. Black Eagle Farm was being foreclosed on because of failure to pay on a $5.29 million loan from a Charlottesville bank. It also owes about $56,000 in local taxes. The bankruptcy documents filed Wednesday halted the foreclosure auction. In the filing, farm officials said the farm incurred expenses to expand in 2008 and has suffered lower profits since then due to the recession, and it is trying to refinance its debt.

I heard most every word, and even believed most of them.
If you walked around your block or throughout your surrounding community, how many would sign up for agreeing with you?
Even the worse Mafia types hire locals, as outsiders for accomplishing those everyday chores. Perhaps you could become one of their drivers, or how about one of their local revenue collectors? How about getting paid a bounty or commission for collecting from those pesky deadbeats like yourself that can't afford that yucky but spendy water, or collecting on behalf of all that toxic coal produced energy that's also as spendy as anywhere on Earth.
I had a client that became a multi-millionaire and major landlord, all from running those mostly cash-cash sorts of easy to skim and privately hoard some portion of that unmarked loot away from those pay- parking lots. The funny thing is, he really didn't seem to know how to go about spending it without raising multiple red flags, and the only friends he had were those on his payroll or as having been contracted. His home was nothing to brag about (plus having lousy/ cranky neighbors), and his $10+ million dollar yacht wasn't worth $2M on the day it was launched, and never had an uneventful cruise because of multiple complications that could have been easily avoided (I'm fairly certain he's got more than $12M invested plus at least having another million in insurance loot pored into that silly and terribly inefficient boat, plus his moorage, major deductible insurance and various operating cost of at least another $250K/year, that which probably in a very good sellers market could not return $1.3M on that original investment, or at best ten cents on the dollar). The good news about all this is, the other 90 cents on the dollar went extensively into the local economy, so perhaps the dumb and dumber the Mafia, the more gets spent.

Failure to Get Health Insurance Could Bring Fine, Jail Time...!
(Jeff has been warning us about this!)
"Failure to get health insurance could bring fines, possible jail
Phoenix Business Journal - by Mike Sunnucks
Failure to get health insurance could bring fines and possible jail time under a health care reform bill being considered by the U.S. House of Representatives.
The reform bill being pushed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., mandates some kind of health insurance similar to state mandates for car insurance.
Republicans opposed to the bill on the House Ways and Mean Committee said they received confirmation from the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation Friday that the Pelosi/House Democratic bill would penalize Americans who don’t get insurance either from private providers or the government.
“The JCT letter makes clear that Americans who do not maintain “acceptable health insurance coverage” and who choose not to pay the bill’s new individual mandate tax (generally 2.5% of income), are subject to numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years,” House Republicans said in a statement Friday.
The Democratic bill looks to create a public health insurance system to help covered the uninsured. Various bills being considered in Congress have coverage mandates.
Ironically, both advocates of government-run health systems and some private insurance companies back mandated coverage. They say that will help reduce costs by cutting into uninsured patients showing up a emergency rooms.
But mandates for federal plans or private insurance worry civil libertarians worried about the dictums helping expand government power and insulate for-profit providers from competition.
“Individual mandates are a form of corporate welfare, forcing people to buy what they do not need or want and often can’t afford. The push for individual mandates does not emanate from concern over people who are uninsured, but from a desire to create a new funding pool to subsidize health care for others. To the extent it taxes marginal earners, it is Robin Hood in reverse,”Clint Bolick, Goldwater Institute litigation director. The Phoenix-based group favors limited government."

Freddie Mac has to cut its losses (6.3 billion in losses!). Homes sitting empty are no use to it. First priority is to keep up those executive bonuses so the brass can afford to maintain those seaside mansions they own in the Bahamas! Everyone else can rent!
Double A Fascist American system allows big money right out of the treasury to make the rich richer. Banks just have to claim,and cook their books to show they lost say 50 billion and the same week they get this 50 billion as a gift.(no strings attached) M&M can't get a mere 2M. I can't seem to get food stamps. I get busy signal ,but banks get the bucks. Big money people that are known white collar crooks retire on Boca Grande,and get good old boy protection from Florida state police. The republicans here know how to take care of their Mafia lieutenants Its harder to cross the bridge going over to Boca Grande than getting into another country Here in Poinciana we have a gated(armed guard) community called Solavita,and its all Severn Trent Avatar retired Mafia people. They do not denial this fact. Actually they seem very proud of it. Well its their America Bert

Had I a mortgage I would be #7 on my street on the street. Reality is right now living in a Severn trent avatar Mafia village I could only get 10% of what my house is excess for(cash money). Go figure I live for the day I am parked on Huntington beach looking at the valley girl's valleys. Love those tiny tight bikini and no tops necessary. Jeff do you think I am a dirty old man? Sure hope Darla does not read some of my sex fantasy stuff. Still she is clever and knows its a Freudian world. That sex is humankinds moving force. Bert
Jeff So you all are my virtual grandkids. Seems viagra is not covered by medicare,and at 13 bucks a pill it makes the pharmacists pimps. Do you think Obama's health plan will cover viagra? It would get him the elderly vote. Pee-Air would make sure he got our vote. He still has high hopes Bert

At any time it's going to turn around, mostly because there will be no remaining employees to lay off. So, perhaps the bottom of this Republican and Zionist Nazi contrived mess is in sight.

Isn't that a sad matter of fact. Just like so many Jews had been screwed by their own kind, here we get to sample the same treatment, and to think we're not even Jewish. Go figure.

That and the fact that as most out of work workers use up their one year plus extensions worth of unemployment benefits, they no longer show up in the government statistics! Ain't government math wonderful?
"The measure would give the government new power to prevent another financial system meltdown and protect consumers. Dodd's 1,100 page- draft would strip the Federal Reserve and other regulators of their powers to regulate banks and hand that job to a single agency. The bill also would take away the Fed's ability to monitor credit cards and mortgages and establish a new "Consumer Financial Protection Agency.""
(Taking powers away from existing agencies and giving it to new ones, what does that accomplish? Sounds like a grandstanding version of rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic to me!

Ambac Warns It May File For Bankruptcy >ABK
Ambac Financial Group Inc. (ABK) shares fell 12% Tuesday after the bond insurer said it may file for bankruptcy protection. Ambac said in a regulatory filing late Monday that it should have enough liquidity to satisfy its needs through the second quarter of 2011. But Ambac also warned that in the long term its main bond insurance unit, Ambac Assurance, may not be able to pay enough dividends to the holding company. That means the company may not have enough money to pay operating expenses and debt it owes, including a payment that's due in August 2011, the company explained in the filing.
(Are your grandmother's bonds insured by Ambac? Don't count your inheritance too soon!)
Third quarter mass layoff actions hit record!
"U.S. employers initiated 1,776 extended mass layoff actions in the third quarter this year, the highest third-quarter total since the Labor Department began its mass-layoff data series in 1995. The mass layoff actions separated 277,924 workers from their jobs. (Extended mass layoffs are defined as actions that lay off at least 50 employees from a single work place for at least 30 days.) One-third of the employers that reported mass layoffs in the quarter said they expected to recall at least some employees in the future. Manufacturing companies were responsible for 29 percent of the layoff actions, but the mass layoffs were spread over nine major industry sectors. About half of the employers cited business demand (or lack thereof) as the reason for the layoffs."

"The Portland area and Oregon are still doing better than the national average in mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures. But the troubles here are growing worse at a faster than the nation in the September report from First American CoreLogic. Portland's delinquency rate was 5.99 percent in September, Oregon's 4.97 percent and U.S. 7.27 percent. But since September 2008, the delinquency rate in Portland and Oregon has grown more than twice as fast as the nation's. The foreclosure rate growth shows a similar is slightly less dramatic spread."
Portland 33rd biggest price decline in Q3!
"Portland-area single-family home prices fell 12.2 percent in the third quarter compared to a year earlier, the 33rd biggest decline in the National Association of Realtors existing home prices report. The region's median price was $244,500 in the third quarter. Salem's prices were $180,400, down 9.8 percent, 42nd biggest decline. Eugene had the 48th biggest decline at 8.1 percent to $206,600. Seattle- Tacoma tied with Eugene with an 8.1 percent fall to $321,500. Just to compare, Seattle's price is 31 percent higher than Portland's.Here's the complete list."
Deutsche expects 32% peak-to-trough house price decline!
"HousingWire reports on some very interesting figures and projections from Deutsche Bank. The highlights: The U.S. housing market is on track to lose 32 percent of its values from peak-to-trough. The bank pegs the total U.S. housing market of 75.5 million home owners at $24 trillion at its peak in the second quarter of 2006. That value has fallen to $18 trillion as of the second quarter of 2009. The bank expects it will fall to $16.3 trillion in the second quarter of 2010, 32 percent below the peak. The "sand states," as HousingWire calls them, account for an unbelievable 66 percent of the losses in housing wealth. Those would be California, Florida, Arizona and Nevada. The take aways here: It will be well into 2010 and maybe 2011 before Oregon sees bottom in the housing market and we can all blame this on the sand states."
