"Then, when the Fed's fire hoses started spraying an elephant soup of liquidity injections in every direction and its balance sheet grew by $1.3 trillion in just thirteen weeks compared to $850 billion during its first ninety-four years, I became convinced that the Fed was flying by the seat of its pants, making it up as it went along.

Under Ryan's plan taxpayers with income exceeding $1 million in 2014 would receive an average net tax decrease of over $200,000 that year even if they had to give up all of their tax expenditures. http://www.nhnewsviewsblues.org/ArnieArnesen/AAA_03212013_hour2.mp3Thu, 21 Mar 2013 09:54:07 -0500 Hour 1: *Hyper Local News with Associate Regional Editor of Patch.com (NH) Dan Tuohy *Matt Simon - Marijuana Policy Project on Medical Marijuana and Decrim.

Unless you're under 40. Stagnant wages, diminishing job opportunities, and lost home values may be painting a vastly different future for Gen X and Gen Y.

And we have high stock yields because the market has failed to do its job, which is to treat high corporate earnings as a fantastic opportunity to invest in the economy and build something even greater in the future. Just look at the amount of money which is flowing straight to corporations' bottom lines, and not being put to good, productive work.

The Koch brothers' political operation has increasingly come to resemble its own political party ....an ambitious expansion of the billionaire brothers' political operation that includes the recruitment of new donors and fundraisers into their network by a development team led by summit emcee Kevin Gentry, and their recent hiring of in-house political operative Marc Short to oversee the spending of funds raised at the summits. The expansion is also reflected in Charles and David Kochs' bid to take over the libertarian Cato Institute as well as their operations steering cash to groups that aren't commonly thought of as Koch affiliated. The 60 Plus Association, American Energy Alliance, American Future Fund, Americans for Limited Government and National Right to Life have all received funds through the Koch donor network. "They ask for support - and they get it because we all love our country and we have a different vision than do the liberals," said Stanley Hubbard, a Minnesota television station owner who has attended the Koch donor summits for years and plans to be in San Diego for this month's meeting. "I've gotten friends to be involved, and I think others have, too, so I would guess, yes, that's expanding." Yet, even as Koch World has increasingly flexed its muscles in conservative politics, its inner sanctum - comprised of the brothers and their longtime right-hand man Richard Fink - has remained all but impenetrable to even big GOP players who want a piece of the Koch action...." politico.com Fergus Cullen, Union Leader columnist and former chair of NH Republican Party :30pm: Poet Michael Cantor who appeared at Gibson's Bookstore.http://www.nhnewsviewsblues.org/ArnieArnesen/AAA_02212013_hour1.mp3Thu, 21 Feb 2013 00:00:00 -0500 "Best of" shows all this week.

The same party that shut down the federal government twice back in 1995 (only to suffer a massive public backlash, paving the way for a sweeping reelection victory for President Bill Clinton) is now openly suggesting that they'd walk that same plank again.

Statement by Senior Analyst for Tax and Budget Policy USPIRG's Phineas Baxandall on the potential tax subsidy banks will collect if allowed to write off as an ordinary business costs the billions in yesterday's announced mortgage settlements. Bank of America agreed to an $11.6 billion negotiated settlement to Fannie Mae to settle charges that its Countrywide Financial subsidiary sold the agency mortgages obtained with improper underwriting and other practices. Ten banks including Bank of America yesterday separately agreed to pay $8.5 billion in direct and other benefits to homeowners for knowingly violating regulatory procedures and wrongfully foreclosing on hundreds of thousands of homeowners who should have been allowed to stay in their homes. “Taxpayers should not be subsidizing, or in any way paying for, these corporations' wrongdoing. But that's exactly what will happen unless the IRS or other federal agencies prevent it. “Based on past experience, unless federal agencies expressly forbid it, these banks will write off the cost of these settlements as ordinary business payments and taxpayers will be forced to pick up a significant part of the tab. That could be the equivalent of giving a $4.06 billion tax subsidy to Bank of America and a $2.975 billion subsidy to the other banks that includes BoA. It's a total of about $7 billion that will need to be made up for in the form of public program cuts, higher taxes or more federal debt… 12:30pm: Rethink the Week with NH Business Review Editor Jeff Feingold (from Mint the Coin to Obama's nominee for Treasury to Jennifer Horn's tax problem to Hagel's Jewish Lobby problem.

Statement by Senior Analyst for Tax and Budget Policy USPIRG's Phineas Baxandall on the potential tax subsidy banks will collect if allowed to write off as an ordinary business costs the billions in yesterday's announced mortgage settlements. Bank of America agreed to an $11.6 billion negotiated settlement to Fannie Mae to settle charges that its Countrywide Financial subsidiary sold the agency mortgages obtained with improper underwriting and other practices. Ten banks including Bank of America yesterday separately agreed to pay $8.5 billion in direct and other benefits to homeowners for knowingly violating regulatory procedures and wrongfully foreclosing on hundreds of thousands of homeowners who should have been allowed to stay in their homes. “Taxpayers should not be subsidizing, or in any way paying for, these corporations' wrongdoing. But that's exactly what will happen unless the IRS or other federal agencies prevent it. “Based on past experience, unless federal agencies expressly forbid it, these banks will write off the cost of these settlements as ordinary business payments and taxpayers will be forced to pick up a significant part of the tab. That could be the equivalent of giving a $4.06 billion tax subsidy to Bank of America and a $2.975 billion subsidy to the other banks that includes BoA. It's a total of about $7 billion that will need to be made up for in the form of public program cuts, higher taxes or more federal debt… 12:30pm: Rethink the Week with NH Business Review Editor Jeff Feingold (from Mint the Coin to Obama's nominee for Treasury to Jennifer Horn's tax problem to Hagel's Jewish Lobby problem.

He reportedly showed it to one of his classmates during recess. Sixth grader Isabel Rios said, “At recess, he pointed a gun to my head and said he was going to kill me.” District officials said that they didn't know about the weapon until 3 p.m., however. “Once the teacher knew there was a weapon in the classroom, the student was apprehended in 30 to 45 seconds and immediately brought down to the office and the police were on site within five to 10 minutes,” said Granite School District spokesman Ben Horsley. Parents were notified around 5:30, though many had learned the news from their children before then. The student has been suspended and taken into a juvenile facility.

(ie "Jesus answered, 'If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.'"-Matthew 19:21 or "Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life."-1 Timothy 6:17-19) Letter: History lesson For the Concord Monitor Thursday, October 25, 2012 Being a public school teacher, social worker, fireman or police officer will not guarantee you will make a lot of money. Making a lot of money will not guarantee you happiness in this life or in any life that may or may not come hereafter. Did Jesus Christ ever complain about His salary, benefits and pension? No, He accepted His calling and our Father's will for Him. Did Jesus Christ “redistribute” loaves and fish? No, He was offered what was available and created more Himself. Did Jesus Christ teach about the rich and offer suggestions? Yes, on numerous occasions. Did Jesus Christ condemn the wealthy and mandate what they do with their abundance? No. So just what is social justice anyway? And who taught it? The answer is Marx, Lenin, Stalin, and Trotsky.

Kelly Ayotte: Let's be honest. When you decry the harm that the Obama administration is doing to small business, you paint a picture that reminds me of my husband and his father logging years ago. But I wonder if most people realize that, according to the Small Business Administration, "small business" refers to a company with less than 500 employees and in some cases can refer to companies with as many as 1,500 workers, not exactly the mom-and-pop-shop image you evoke of you and your husband shoveling snow. "Small business" is also a designation used legally for tax purposes by certain billionaires, George Soros and the Koch brothers among them. The middle class is suffering, and many of them are now the working poor. I have had friends and family who have lost jobs. I've seen small family-owned businesses close. But if we're going to use the term "small business," let's be honest. It's easy to paint a picture of Norman Rockwell America and blame the other side for the financial ruin of the middle class. Both parties do it. But it's a ruse; it allows you all to avoid talking about the disenfranchised, the desperately poor. It keeps us fighting among ourselves, Tea Partiers v. Occupiers, while you and your cohorts on both sides of the aisle keep the industrial war machine going and reward your big-business benefactors with tax breaks. a conversation with Letter Writer Nancy Brennan Weare, NHhttp://www.nhnewsviewsblues.org/ArnieArnesen/AAA_08312012_hour1.mp3Fri, 31 Aug 2012 12:27:29 -0500 Noon: ReThink the Week: ReThink Tampa: Prepare For Charlotte: How those primary races doin' in NH?

How many Jackie? former Gubernatorial candidate and State Senator Mark Fernald (interesting letter to the editor...does it matter to voters? Hassan doesn't live like the rest of us - from the Concord Monitor Aug. 12 John B. Andrews, Concord I've been seeing the television ad in which Democratic gubernatorial candidate Maggie Hassan says that she cares about the things our families care about. Is that really true? Let's see, property taxes: Hassan doesn't pay property taxes because her family has lived for years in Phillips Exeter Academy housing where her spouse is the principal. Heating oil and electricity costs: See above. Making ends meet: Her spouse makes over $300,000 per year. Quality of education: Her kids went for free to the sixth best private prep school in country, according to Forbes's Top 20 list of 2010, at cost of over $30,000 per year. Cost of gasoline: The school provides and maintains a car. Cost of health insurance: They have the choice of two paid health and two paid dental plans, including retirees. The retiree health plan was set up in 2008 with Massachusetts Blue Cross-Blue Shield when Hassan's spouse was appointed principal of PEA. According to PEA's 2008 IRS Form 990, there are also provisions for first-class air travel and companion (Hassan) travel and tax indemnification and gross-ups so the payer doesn't actually pay any taxes. Retirement: There is a generous non-contributory retirement plan. No, I'm pretty sure that Hassan doesn't go to sleep at night caring about the same things that the rest of New Hampshire voters care about.

He claimed it was because of his "pro-jobs" voting record, but it unquestionably had more to do with the 100 percent rating the U.S. Chamber gave him. The only New England congressman with 100 percent, he joined a tiny minority - 8 percent of U.S. house members (from mainly Southern and Western states) - with a perfect score as lackeys to Big Oil, Big Pharma and the other multi-nationals that the U.S. Chambers lobbies for. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is not like your local chamber. In New Hampshire, many major local chambers are not even members, including Dover, Manchester, Merrimack, Hudson, Nashua, and Souhegan Valley. In 2010 the vice president of the Greater Hudson Chamber, Jerry Mayotte, said, "I could not find one positive thing to say about being involved in the U.S. Chamber." The U.S. Chamber is a lobbying front for its big corporate donors, and its agenda harms middle-class Americans. In 2008 only 45 corporations donated almost half of its $140 million in contributions, and many of those contributions coincided with lobbying that endangers us all. For example, Dow Chemical's $1.7 million contribution included funding for the chamber's fight against legislation to protect chemical plants from attack. Congressman Guinta, I wouldn't boast about U.S. Chamber support. It's like being stamped "bought and paid for" by multi-national corporations. I can't wait to vote against this congressman who forgot his New Hampshire constituents. 11:30am: We actually all want the US to be more economically equal!

The Koch brothers' political operation has increasingly come to resemble its own political party ....an ambitious expansion of the billionaire brothers' political operation that includes the recruitment of new donors and fundraisers into their network by a development team led by summit emcee Kevin Gentry, and their recent hiring of in-house political operative Marc Short to oversee the spending of funds raised at the summits. The expansion is also reflected in Charles and David Kochs' bid to take over the libertarian Cato Institute as well as their operations steering cash to groups that aren't commonly thought of as Koch affiliated. The 60 Plus Association, American Energy Alliance, American Future Fund, Americans for Limited Government and National Right to Life have all received funds through the Koch donor network. "They ask for support - and they get it because we all love our country and we have a different vision than do the liberals," said Stanley Hubbard, a Minnesota television station owner who has attended the Koch donor summits for years and plans to be in San Diego for this month's meeting. "I've gotten friends to be involved, and I think others have, too, so I would guess, yes, that's expanding." Yet, even as Koch World has increasingly flexed its muscles in conservative politics, its inner sanctum - comprised of the brothers and their longtime right-hand man Richard Fink - has remained all but impenetrable to even big GOP players who want a piece of the Koch action...." politico.com Fergus Cullen, Union Leader columnist and former chair of NH Republican Party 12:30pm: Poet Michael Cantor...

For the next 49 years, Ginny joined me as I worked in the airline industry, went back to graduate school, and then embarked on a career in higher education that took us to North Carolina, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and Vermont. In December, 2006, we retired; Ginny after a distinguished 20 years as the Director of Tracy Library and I, as the Vice President for Finance and Administration at Vermont Law School.
