I doubt that healthcare, or even social security, can create a bubble big enough to alleviate the damage of the last one bursting, though.

No way out, this time.

m'K. BBs, no "silver bullet."
$650B Health Reserve Fund is an awful lot o' feed-in to waste. The Health Insurance Exchange looks like guaranteed income to me. Here's a sample of the "Say What?" GSE prospectus.

Another way we can achieve savings is by reducing payments to hospitals for treating uninsured people. I know hospitals rely on these payments now, legitimately, because of the large number of uninsured patients that they treat. But if we put in a system where people have coverage and the number of uninsured people goes down with our reforms, the amount we pay hospitals to treat uninsured people should go down, as well. Reducing these payments gradually, as more and more people have coverage, will save us over $106 billion. And we'll make sure the difference goes to the hospitals that need it most.

Now, if the bank holding companies don't want Fed VC assistance to enter a newly "sterlized" insurance industry in a "modernized regulatory" framework...

There's alwaysssss carbon credit trading! The vultures are getting more sassy by the day. Can you believe this shit? Passive CO2 capture tied to RE value -- a nice investment opportunity, if you're not ground-floor at FuturGen Alliance.

Sandor Got Obama's Nod for Chicago-Style Climate Law

The carbon credits in question involve agricultural projects that reduce CO2 in the atmosphere by planting trees or not tilling cropland. Emissions avoided through such methods are represented by carbon credits that can be traded.

Oh, there's more to the article. Mr Dick "Swaps" Sandor is quite a character. I first read about Sandor hooked up with Pershing (1998), shopping Brazil forests (2000) and CCX (Gore et al). He's totally connected.

Obama sends country SOS, seems like to me.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
