The business headline I want to see "Stocks drop to real value as government pulls back its welfare for Wall Street program."

Good, I hope every corporation buys all of their own stock back and then they can close down the rigged stock markets once and for all.

I think a reduction in world and US population over time would be a good thing. The whole world is already overpopulated. Anyone who was here in the 1960s when the US population was 200 million vs today's 320 million is acutely aware of the crowding and negative consequences of the added 120 million.

Here is a little jingle to illustrate the fed's folly. "Few will buy when prices are high." Or "Let prices drop because bernanke's...more

The only way to put some minutia of competition back into the energy markets is to break up the big oil companies into at least 50 smaller companies each.
