Obama's disguised Stimulus II: Swindle of the year...............................................................................................................................
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER; THE WASHINGTON POST
Published: 12/12/1012:05 am WASHINGTON - Barack Obama won the great tax-cut showdown of 2010 - and House Democrats don't have a clue that he did. In the deal struck this week, the president
negotiated the biggest stimulus in American history, larger than his $814 billion 2009
stimulus package. It will pump a trillion borrowed Chinese dollars into the U.S. economy
over the next two years - which just happen to be the two years of the run-up to the next
presidential election. This is a defeat?

Speak UP
...............
The FCC held most discussions behind closed doors,
until this mornings debate and final approval of the regulations.
URGENT: The Federal Communications Commission approves a plan to step up policing of the Internet despite warnings from critics that it could strangle industry investment and damage an economy that is still in the process of recovering. | Why You NEED to Care About Net Neutrality As online video has grown in popularity, thanks to sites like YouTube and Hulu.com, Internet service providers (ISPs) complain that each consumer is more of a burden to service -- that's you, me and your next-door neighbor, Phil.
Today, Comcast, Time Warner, or whomever you pay monthly charges you and Phil more or less the same amount. But Phil watches four hours of basketball online every night. Should he pay more for that? There's the neutrality part, the argument that you should pay one fee for access to the entire Internet, regardless of what type of content you watch or which sites you visit. .............................
