Ben Bernanke speaks and puts the lie to everything that “The Community Organizer In Chief” has been spouting in this, the beginning of the fourth year of his reelection campaign. Wouldn’t it be great if we had a President that put the country’s needs above his own? Refreshing yes, but don’t count on it, because the establishment Republicans are doing everything that they can to [...]
Oil and gold are connected and the relationship is becoming more evident every day. One is an expression of power and expansion and the other is a store of wealth.
