...Arabia alone produces four times that much oil. Consider the leverage that the futures market allows - you can trade more than 10 times your money in oil - and suddenly every dollar you put into the futures market controls well over $300 worth of oil. We can put a price tag on the whole market: for a mere $4 billion, you can easily control the fate of the entire multitrillion-dollar industry. Goldman Sachs pays out more than that in annual bonuses. (Read "The Reasons Behind Big Oil Declining Iraq's Riches...

Every state is now flush with stimulus dollars - ranging from about $3 million (in Wyoming...
...Watching what happened to the HELP Committee, you could understand why the Finance Committee would decide to delay its own markup. After all, it had been warned by the CBO that an early draft of its bill would have an even larger price tag than the HELP Committee's - it would increase the deficit by more than $1.6 trillion over the next decade. So Finance Committee members will be spending the next few weeks trying to reduce the price tag. It is looking, for instance, for ways to make sure that people who now get coverage from their employers cannot...
