Stories from the Obama Economy
Despite President Obama's attempts to distract from his failed record, the American people remember. These are stories from the Obama economy.
President Obama on Creating an Economy Built to Last
Facebook it: my.barackobama.com Tweet it: my.barackobama.com Tumblr it: my.barackobama.com President Obama responds to questions during a press conference at the 2012 Chicago NATO Summit. President Obama: "Well, first of all I think Cory Booker is an outstanding mayor. He's doing great work in Newark and obviously helping to turn that city around. And I think it's important to recognize that this issue is not a, quote, distraction. This is part of the debate that we're going to be having in this election campaign about how do we create an economy where everybody from top to bottom, folks on Wall Street and folks on Main Street, have a shot at success, and if they're working hard and they're acting responsibly, that they're able to live out the American dream. Now, I think my view of private equity is that it is -- it is set up to maximize profits and that's a healthy part of the free market. That's - that's part of the role of a lot of business people. That's not unique to private equity, and as I think my representatives have said repeatedly, and I will say today, I think there are folks who do good work in that area, and there are times where they identify the capacity for the economy to create new jobs or new industries. But understand that their priority is to maximize profits. And that's not always going to be good for communities or businesses or workers. And the reason this is relevant to the campaign is because my opponent, Governor Romney, his main calling card ...

American economy deliberately allowed to fail?
The state of the American economy to some is no accident. There have been many key factors that have taken place to bring the American economy to where it is today.

Economy key for French voters
French voters are due to head to the polls to vote for their new president on Sunday. Socialist Francois Hollande is the favourite to win, but Nicolas Sarkozy, the incumbent, has staged a comeback in the last week. Sarkozy's widespread unpopularity in the run-up to the poll has largely been a result of poor economic prospects for French citizens. With unemployment high, and government budget cuts continuing, how the candidates deal with the economy has been central to determining who voters prefer. Al Jazeera's Jacky Rowland reports from Paris, France.
How Oil Prices Affect the Economy: Calling for a Third Industrial Revolution
Why are oil prices rising and costs going through the roof? Seems like every time the economy starts to get stronger, oil prices go way up, and then the economy crashes again. In his book The Third Industrial Revolution, Jeremy Rifkin reveals the truth about the tie between our economy's health and gas prices. Epipheo thought we'd help spread the word about why energy, power, and gasoline can cost so much money and be so expensive.

Steve Keen is Professor of Economics & Finance at the University of Western Sydney, and author of the popular book Debunking Economics. Steve predicted the financial crisis as long ago as December 2005, and warned that back in 1995 that a period of apparent stability could merely be "the calm before the storm". His leading role as one of the tiny minority of economists to both foresee the crisis and warn of it was recognized by his peers when he received the Revere Award from the Real World Economics Review for being the economist who most cogently warned of the crisis, and whose work is most likely to prevent future crises.

The Real "Truth About the Economy:" Have Wages Stagnated?
Students, get a full week of this at a summer seminar: lrnlbty.co Prof. Don Boudreaux responds to "The Truth About the Economy" (lrnlbty.co a recent video featuring former Labor Secretary Robert Reich. In the video, one of Reich's key points is that most people's wages have barely increased since 1980. However, when Reich's numbers are examined in greater detail, his claim does not hold up. If you care about this issue, there are three things to consider: 1. How inflation is calculated 2. Benefits workers receive other than wages 3. The distinction between statistics and individuals Adjusting for inflation, especially over long periods of time, is as much an art as it is a science. In an attempt to measure inflation, economists have developed several indexes. All of these indexes are considered legitimate, but all of them yield different results. In "The Truth About the Economy" video, Robert Reich uses the consumer price index (CPI) to calculate the average hourly wage, and he finds that wages haven't risen much over the past 30 years. However, when using other methods of adjusting for inflation, which are no less respected, the average hourly wage rate rises as much at 18% over the same 30 year period. Index differences aside, everyone agrees that all forms of compensation must be considered to accurately calculate worker's compensation. This includes not only wages and salaries, but also benefits like health insurance, retirement benefits, vacation days, sick pay, and ...

Gerald Celente: Economy is going to get much worse
A recent report reveals that the US created zero new jobs last month. The last time this happened was in 1945. The unemployment rate is still at 9.1% and projected numbers for the next year show the average unemployment rate at about 9%. With these numbers, many Americans question if President Obama's jobs creation plan, due to be unveiled next week, will have any effect on the economy.

Does Government Spending Create Economic Growth?
If you knew a dollar invested in something would wind up losing more than a dollar, would you consider that a good investment? The government does just that when it starts spending taxpayer and borrowed money. Watch as Professor Antony Davies of Duquesne University explains the unseen costs of government spending and the best way to stimulate the economy: the private sector. "In the best case scenario what we see is still no relationship between government spending and economic growth. In the worst-case scenario, we actually see a negative relationship. That is, as the government spends more money, the economy actually contracts." --Antony Davies Check out www.economicfreedom.org to see the rest of our videos!
Economic Hit Man John Perkins on the New Banana Republic and USA, Inc.
Follow us @ twitter.com twitter.com Welcome to Capital Account. US President Barack Obama signed the JOBS act today, otherwise known as the jumpstart our business startups. Only this so called success rolls back securities laws for companies going public with up to a billion dollars in revenue and according to critics, what it really does is jumpstart frauds like wall street pump and dump schemes. Surprisingly, or maybe not so surprisingly, it has been touted as a bipartisan achievement. Is this simply just another commitment by the washington machine, politicians and subsidized corporations to get their "corporate welfare" fix? It's something that our guest, economic hitman John Perkins, has been writing about for a long time. His latest book "Hoodwinked," covers the power of corporations, and their ability to influence laws in such a way so that outcomes are delivered in their favor. And although banks, too, are corporations, they are a special kind and deserve special attention. After all, they are so special, that Ben Bernanke had, what appeared to be his semi-annual job evaluation last week. Fortune magazine reports on a private lunch between Bernanke, and the biggest bank CEO's and executives on wall street (and heads of other large financial services firms).

A New Global Economic Restructuring
James Martinez reads a statement from representatives of a new global currency that is being announced and slowly integrated into our consciousness as a way to end the tyranny of the current banking systems. A New Global Economic Restructuring: Conscious Media Network has been approached by a representative of global leaders and financiers from 130 nations to broadcast a statement about a new global economic restructuring arising in 2012. The statement will be delivered via a video-taped interview with a layperson on behalf of the consortium that has been working behind the scenes, on the problem of the unsustainable global economy for the past 8 years. The party who drafted this statement has stated, in response to conspiracy concerns, that "The usual suspects are not the suspects" and that the Global Elite also understand that the unsecured, digital money system has failed us all, including themselves. This announcement is to serve as the introduction of a New Global Economic Structure that will begin surfacing in 2012. Those involved in this plan are calling it the "greatest humanitarian effort" in modern history. It will be for each of us to determine over time if this is a truthful statement. CMN is serving as a neutral party for this broadcast and its claims as the economic consortium does not wish to break this news through mainstream media at this time. Please give this your serious attention, as it may be heralding a new way of conducting commerce on the planet ...

A Depressed World Economy is Here To Stay: Bob Chapman Reports 1/3
By decree, by the privately owned Federal Reserve, zero interest rates are here to stay. You do not get to borrow at those rates, only the member banks do. In the latest currency swap (loan) from the Fed to the ECB, European Central Bank, as we noted in previous issues over the last two months, that Europe has been forced to join the Anglo-American system. The system of zero interest rates and the continual creation of money and credit. Due to the Fed's ability to create endless supplies of money and credit it eventually took over the control of ECB and European monetary policy. These policies starkly point out the zero interest rates and monetary policy of endless money creation is the path to be taken probably by all in the system to lesser or greater degrees. That means no savings and that leaves speculation and the purchase of gold and silver related assets. Looking at monetary history we would categorize this policy as Neanderthal. The recession/depression that the Fed has been tying to neutralize via zero interest rates and quantitative easing hasn't worked and it won't work. What is worse is the Fed knows it won't work. Greenspan and Bernanke saw 21 years of such policy not work in Japan, yet they learned very little from living history. An example that zero interest rates do not work and render currency meaningless is the housing market. They cannot even lower bank home inventory with 3.8% loans. theinternationalforecaster.com www.infowars.com twitter.com
