Economic Glance
Attention Ron Paul supporters, and "End the Federal Reserve" activists...you finally may have some more politicians willing to stand up to the Federal Reserve! While they might not be going for the jugular, it appears that a few brave souls are trying to kick down the iron curtain hiding the money masters at the Federal Reserve.
Stimulus? U.S. to buy Chinese condoms, ending Alabama jobs
At a time when the federal government is spending billions of stimulus dollars to stem the tide of U.S. layoffs, should that same government put even more Americans out of work by buying cheaper foreign products?
That's the dilemma for the folks at the U.S. Agency for International Development, which has distributed an estimated 10 billion U.S.-made AIDS-preventing condoms in poor countries around the world.
Fed Planning 15-Fold Increase In US Monetary Base
This is a staggering devaluation of the US currency! It means that for every dollar in America in September 2008, the fed is going to created fourteen more of them!
Expanding the money supply is easy. All the fed has to do is print dollars and then use them to buy assets. There is no effective limit to how much the fed can print and spend.
TVNL Comment: They are killing us. They are taking our money and reducing its value to nothing.
A.I.G. Sues U.S. for Return of $306 Million in Tax Payments
While the American International Group comes under fire from Congress over executive bonuses, it is quietly fighting the federal government for the return of $306 million in tax payments, some related to deals that were conducted through offshore tax havens.
A.I.G. sued the government last month in a bid to force it to return the payments, which stemmed in large part from its use of aggressive tax deals, some involving entities controlled by the company’s financial products unit in the Cayman Islands, Ireland, the Dutch Antilles and other offshore havens.
Dollar slides after US Fed plan
The dollar fell by 3.8% against the euro and by 3.6% against the pound.
The US currency also declined against the yen, the Norwegian krone, the Australian dollar and Brazilian real.
The Fed's decision to buy debt means it is effectively creating new money, leading to concern from investors about the over-supply of dollars.
TVNL Comment: Mission accomplished. What you are watching is wealth un-distribution. The people who make (create out of nothing) the money are taking all our stuff. They will start all over and sell everything back to us. Just like after the Depression.

IMF poised to print billions of dollars in 'global quantitative easing'
The International Monetary Fund is poised to embark on what analysts have described as "global quantitative easing" by printing billions of dollars worth of a global "super-currency" in an unprecedented new effort to address the economic crisis.
Should the move, which is up for discussion by the summit of G20 finance ministers this weekend, be adopted, it will represent a global equivalent of the Bank of England's plan to pump extra cash into the UK economy.
TVNL Comment: Making money out of nothing while creating a currency for the pending one world government. Remember...America was started mostly to get out of the grip of the private Bank of England.
