admin — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 07:14:32 +0000

The USA is the most effected country in the world from the current economical and financial crisis and its most of the industries are still suffering from the current bad economical situation and on the other hands some other countries like India, Canada and etc are recovering nicely. In the Canada the consumer confidence ticked higher but lower in the United States this month as worries about rising unemployment took hold. In the Conference Board of Canada, this tracks consumers’ sentiments on personal finance, major purchases and jobs, a rise of 2.5 percentage points to 90.9/100 for September, continuing a seven-month long upward streak – the longest since 2002. “The U.S.A consumer is still struggling to adjust after a very difficult period that has seen home prices collapse. Many are still in a very difficult financial situation even though a recovery is starting to get under way.” According to the U.S. Conference Board’s confidence index dropped to 53.1 from a revised 54.5 in August, the New York-based group reported Tuesday.

“The Canadian household experience is quite a bit different from what’s going on in the U.S.,” said Meny Grauman, senior economist at CIBC World Markets. Now, it’s time for the President Obama and his administration to observe more seriously that why other countries are recovering quickly as compared to his country as we know that the increase in the Canadian Index.

Obama Hailed The Pittsburgh Summit As Success!

admin — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 04:34:43 +0000

Mr. Obama hailed the outcome of the Pittsburgh summit as an outstanding success. The US President Barack Obama has said that, world leaders had signed up to significant steps to secure the continuing global economic recovery. The US economical situation is now getting better and this is just because of president Obama and his administration policies. Mr. Obama, who made the comments at the end of the G20 Summit in Pittsburgh last night, said it was important that the world did not slide into the economic cycle of boom followed by bust.

The US president Obama said that the G20 leaders had agreed to launch a new framework to generate strong sustainable and balanced global growth. The President added that ordinary people around the world would not tolerate going back to a boom and bust global economy. In answer to a question on Iran’s nuclear program, he said the Iranians were on notice to come clean on what exactly they were doing at their second, secret nuclear facility.

The US President Obama said about a military option that “he was not ruling anything in or out, but added his preferred solution was a diplomatic one”. So, these conferences and the agreement of balancing the world economical recovery is a positive sign for the world that these steps can save the world’s destabilized economical conditions.

Obama and the New Banking Policies

admin — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 04:29:21 +0000

US economical decline was started when the banks went in worst situation and announced the US worst banking sector got collapsed and then a chain of banks failure started. If a bank goes bad, its chartering institution turns it over to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. The FDIC follows an orderly process for putting the bank in receivership, then liquidating its assets or selling it off to a healthy institution. Deposits are guaranteed, and there’s no threat to the overall financial system.

The most important part of President Obama’s remarks on financial reform dealt with the need for a policy to deal with firms deemed “too big to fail” — enterprises so large and interconnected that a collapse would pose a threat to the entire system.

No similar process exists for a highly diverse financial supermarket like Citigroup or Bank of America, or Lehman Brothers, which collapsed a year ago and triggered the financial crisis. As Obama noted, proper resolution authority is needed to put an end to the notion of “too big to fail.” Officials shouldn’t face the stark choice of letting a large firm fail or bailing it out with public money.

The US Supreme Court Get Poised On Finance Campaign

admin — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 04:14:07 +0000

The situation of the US financial crisis made a very bad impact on different fields of life. Now, with the Supreme Court hearing arguments on campaign finance is one of the parts of it, and possibly on the threshold of clearing the way for corporations to be freed of all campaign restraints. The US Supreme Court appears poised to pare back campaign finance reform measures that sharply restrict corporate expenditures during federal campaigns. This thing will also open the way for the corporate sector as they are under the high pressure and already bearing the heavy financial loss.

At issue in a special hearing Wednesday was whether the court should strike down two legal precedents that bar corporations from spending their general treasury funds on political speech during campaign season. Although, it is difficult to predict how the high court may rule based solely on the questions the justices ask during oral argument, several analysts say five of the nine justices appear united in their skepticism over the two measures.

“We don’t put our First Amendment rights in the hands of FEC bureaucrats,” Chief Justice John Roberts said at one point, referring to staff members of the Federal Election Commission which enforces the campaign finance laws.

Three justices, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, and Clarence Thomas, are on record opposing the two provisions and this is very much interesting. After 80-minute oral argument, it appeared that Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito are prepared to vote with their colleagues on the court’s conservative wing. Conservative justices repeatedly raised questions about whether the campaign finance restrictions on corporations were too broad and all-encompassing to pass constitutional muster.

Now thing is to see and observe Supreme Court closely and see their other decisions to support the Judiciary and decisions to support the financial plans.

Hollywood Hates Capitalism

admin — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 03:58:42 +0000

The US is still facing financial crisis which is still not over said by the President Obama now this position is closely observed by the U.S and world’s no1 entertainment industry “Hollywood”. Hollywood appears to have a new foe: capitalism. This article is about the Oliver Stone’s new film, which portrays socialist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez as a “champion of the poor” who is “unfairly demonized by the US media.” And secondly we will discuss on Michael Moore’s latest “documentary,” where he concludes that “Capitalism is an evil, and you cannot regulate evil.” Both films premiered at the Venice film festival on this weekend. The first article focuses on Stone’s complaint that the US distributors are showing little interest in his film “South of the Border.” That’s probably not surprising, considering the US is not on very good terms with Chavez. Stone says that one of the central investigations of his film involves South American nations attempting to keep the US at an arm’s length.

Michael Moore is quite sure that his film will gain popularity because it’s on reality and focusing the current US economical and financial crisis. The major point in His film, “Capitalism: A Love Story,” takes a different route in endorsing socialism this film attempted to tear down US capitalism. His film responds to the financial crisis by portraying Wall Street and banks as gamblers whose negligence almost destroyed the nation. He also criticizes Washington’s closeness to big business. So, all these issues are showing that the US entertainment media is closely observing the US current financial position in the world.

Supreme Court and Financial Dilemma of the USA

admin — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 04:22:29 +0000

The USA is the one of the affected country which is facing this decade’s worst financial and economical crisis and still they are under the high tension. The situation of the US made a very bad impact on different fields of life now with the Supreme Court hearing arguments on campaign finance, and possibly on the threshold of clearing the way for corporations to be freed of all campaign restraints. It is more important than ever that the Justices consider the current economic, political and media context – into which their decisions actuate and serve to hamstring Congress and the people. This thing will also open the way for the corporate sector as they are under the high pressure and already bearing the heavy financial loss.

As we know that we have a capital city drowning in corporate money and their foundations and think tanks overwhelming any advocacy dedicated to the great mass of working Americans. Further, we do not have a National Initiative process by which the people might overrule “their” congress and the courts.

Now thing is to see and observe Supreme Court closely that how and when they made some other decisions to support the Judiciary and decisions to support the financial plans. The Supreme Court must now prove itself capable of protecting the interests of the people as whole and not simply corporate money to overwhelm democracy and the freedom of the people to define their own society.

Financial Crisis Ruining the life of People in the US

admin — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 05:16:25 +0000

We have to talk about the financial crisis in terms of what happens to people and what happens to other industries, It would be tragic to respond to a sub-prime crisis with sub-prime policies, When we ask the question that when the financial crisis will be finished then no nobody knows the answer another question rises which is very much important that have we learned nothing from the financial crisis of the past two years? Very little, it appears. Optimists say the markets are up and economic recovery is upon us. Bodies such as the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development are revising up their forecasts for world growth this year and next and assuming we are out of the woods. The investment bankers are out there making money again, popping the champagne corks and telling themselves how clever they are – after all, they have managed to pass a good proportion of their huge losses on to us, the taxpayers, and are sitting at the roulette table again.

There is a danger that in spite of all the talk among the G20 finance ministers at their weekend summit about the need to do something about bankers’ bonuses and banks’ capital ratios, the drive to reform could fade as the economic crisis recedes. This financial crisis is ruining the life of U.S people so, government have to take some quick steps for this and everyone is looking worried that when this situation will be gone off! We have to change the current system and make it work for us. Our policymakers seem too tired to do much about it. But failure to do so will leave the clock ticking down towards the next crisis.

US Financial Crisis and Mr. Bernanke’s To-Do List

admin — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 04:00:12 +0000

As we know that U.S is in the Decade’s worst financial and economical crunch and Obama is giving his 100 % to resolve all these issues. Mr. Obama is trying to shape Fed policy. He has already appointed one Fed governor, Daniel Tarullo, and has an opportunity to fill two more vacancies in the months ahead. The reappointment of Ben Bernanke is a very good decision made by the President Obama. Mr. Bernanke’s to-do list is developing rules to close big, failing financial institutions like Bear Stearns Cos. and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. outside of bankruptcy court. It has been nearly 18 months since the failure of Bear Stearns, and Congress hasn’t passed legislation giving the Fed and Treasury the authority they are seeking to deal with institutions other than banks that they deem too big to fail. Bernanke is doing a fantastic job so, In the two years since the onset of the global financial crisis, Mr. Bernanke’s Fed has cut short-term interest rates nearly to zero, has initiated a slew of ways to bypass banks to keep credit flowing in the economy, and is on course to purchase up to $1.25 trillion in mortgage-backed securities and $300 billion in long-term U.S. Treasury.

Mr. Geithner gave a proposal to Mr. Bernanke and he has opposed to strip the Fed of its power to oversee consumer-finance protections. Lawmakers, including Senate Banking Chairman Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, are wary of giving the Fed more power to oversee large financial institutions after some big banks, like Citigroup Inc., teetered under its oversight. Earlier this month, Mr. Geithner lashed out at other financial regulators in a private meeting for not taking a unified stance with the Treasury on overhauls. So, Ben Bernanke’s to do list is long where he has to settle down the Mortgage crisis, renomination elation, Wall Street crisis, banking sector collapse and countries other problem and we are hoping that he will be successful in the future!
