GOP, Congress on notice over American (People) Jobs Act, not the President
President Obama is for the people.
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
President Obama seems to be the only politician who cares and is doing something to get the American People back to work and yes, we the People have noticed that. Fair share tax talk is what have certain folks arms up in a panic, not the Jobs Act. I have never seen in modern times, a bigger group of people willing to take from the poor to preserve the rich than I have now. It is a shame. Help the president help the People, please. Those of us down at the bottom are who fuel this economy because we are here, stateside all of the time. We live where we work and we buy where we live and where we work. We, the American People complete this circle. This country needs to start producing again and we can all come up one step. How much profit is really needed to be wealthy and superwealthy? Who of your wealthy and superwealthy friends would notice any type of fall-off when you all rise and fall together? Oh, I see, your wealthy and superwealthy European, Asian, Turkish, Mediterranean Middle Eastern, African or Hispanic counterparts would notice. Personally, I think they would follow your example because American wealth is always center stage.
After a certain superwealthy earning point, you are only showing off your wealth and in these turbulent economic times isn’t conspicuous wealth a bit gauche? (Especially with the eyes of your constituency staring darts into your growing pocketbook!)
GOP, Congress, please help the president finance this American Jobs Act. Remember, people are a much friendlier when they have money and quick access to money. Fewer complaints, more votes and you guys can go back to whatever it was that you were doing up there on the Hill and we can go back to shopping at our favorite department stores and running up credit card debt, starting businesses, hiring people and the general act of buying and selling that makes my capitalist country great. If you don’t help, we the People will be sitting around broke, grouchy, monitoring the news, monitoring the Hill and reexamining how we cast our votes and for whom the votes are cast. Remember sweeties, perception is everything and you guys live in a translucent bubble!

Bank Capital Regime at Risk as Regulators Spar - Bloomberg
Bank Capital Regime at Risk as Regulators Spar - Bloomberg: - "Basel III requires banks to bolster capital and reduce reliance on borrowing. Now, as they put the standards into effect in their own countries, European Union lawmakers are revising definitions of capital, while the U.S. is struggling to reconcile the Basel mandates with financial reforms imposed by the Dodd-Frank Act. The realists in Europe realized that their banks cannot raise the capital they’d need to comply. U.S. banks have reversed course and are more assertively fighting against it. The future of Basel III looks less certain now than it did when it was agreed to.” The Basel committee revised its capital standards and outlined new rules on liquidity and leverage after the 2008 crisis exposed the vulnerability of the banking system..."

Why the rich will loose all their $ to keep the poor from having a few pennies
Congress ditches Obama on debt talks - Manu Raju - POLITICO.com: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"
"...Congress would make $1 trillion worth of spending cuts — mainly to domestic discretionary spending accounts, with no tax increases. The national debt limit would increase by about the same amount, allowing the borrowing limit to be extended until January 2012."
The world has never seen a group of people so greedy and proud and insensitive as they plan to take from the poor and give even to the rich. God does not like ugly.

Definition of a Corporate right robber barren. He cares not for the American People but only protects the interests of big business. Big business cannot seem to find a way to hire the American People because they don't care about the American People--they care about huge profits only. Who elected this person to the U.S. Senate? Couldn't have been the American People. That would be like shooting ourselves in the foot.

It was a low-down , no-good, godawful bailout. But it paid. - The Washington Post
It was a low-down , no-good, godawful bailout. But it paid. - The Washington Post: "a Fortune analysis shows that U.S. taxpayers are also coming out ahead on it — by at least $40 billion, and possibly by as much as $100 billion eventually. This is our count for the entire bailout, not just the 3 percent represented by the massively unpopular Troubled Assets Relief Program. Yes, that’s right — TARP is only 3 percent of the bailout, even though it gets 97 percent of the attention.

How the Debt Ceiling Issue Will Hit Ordinary Americans in the Wallet - DailyFinance
How the Debt Ceiling Issue Will Hit Ordinary Americans in the Wallet - DailyFinance: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"
It is our congressional leaders who are being "dicks." Debt ceiling issues usually get bipartisan support. Call your congressman or woman and tell them to raise the debt ceiling.
"It also matters because all the parts of our economy are intricately intertwined, like a woven basket where each reed relies upon the next for support. Say the government postpones payments to a contractor. That contractor may decide to hold off on that new ad campaign it had planned to launch. Now, people working in the advertising industry, and maybe the newspapers and television channels that rely on advertising dollars, start to feel the pinch, and so those people decide to start saving more and spending less, in case the economy takes a downturn. Because consumers are now spending less money, stores start seeing a decrease in sales, and respond by reducing employees' hours or even engaging in outright layoffs. And it spirals downward from there."

NYSE rejects takeover offer from Nasdaq and ICE - Apr. 10, 2011
NYSE rejects takeover offer from Nasdaq and ICE - Apr. 10, 2011
Rejects Unsolicited Proposal from Nasdaq and IntercontinentalExchange as Strategically Unattractive, With Unacceptable Execution Risk
| NYSE EURONEXT BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY REAFFIRMS STRONG COMMITMENT TO AGREED DEUTSCHE BOERSE COMBINATION |
NEW YORK, April 10, 2011 – NYSE Euronext (NYSE: NYX) announced today that its Board of Directors, consistent with its fiduciary duties and advised by its independent financial and legal advisors, has unanimously reaffirmed the previously announced combination agreement with Deutsche Boerse AG (XETRA:DB1) and rejected the unsolicited and highly conditional proposal by NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: NDAQ) and IntercontinentalExchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE) to break up NYSE Euronext.
The NYSE Euronext/Deutsche Boerse combination is consistent with the long-term strategy adopted by the NYSE Euronext Board of Directors in 2009, a strategy that the company has regularly reaffirmed and been successfully executing. The combination with Deutsche Boerse will position the combined company to be the leading global exchange operator and create substantially more long-term value for shareholders, and is significantly more likely to close.
Speaking on behalf of the Board, NYSE Euronext Chairman Jan-Michiel Hessels said:
“Breaking up NYSE Euronext, burdening the pieces with high levels of debt, and destroying its invaluable human capital, would be a strategic mistake in terms of where the global markets are going, and is clearly not in the best interests of our shareholders. The highly conditional break-up proposal from Nasdaq/ICE would also require shareholders to shoulder unacceptable execution risk.
“We are confident that the combination with Deutsche Boerse will create compelling value for our shareholders. With Deutsche Boerse, we are committed to creating the world’s premier exchange group – a geographically diverse business, with strengths in multiple asset classes across the spectrum of capital markets services. The new company will fundamentally change the global exchange industry, establishing a world leader in both derivatives and risk management and the premier global venue for capital-raising.“
As previously announced, the combination of NYSE Euronext and Deutsche Boerse will create:
- the world leader in derivatives and risk management, with more than 18 million contracts traded per day, and the only clearing house offering real-time position monitoring;
- the world’s leading cash exchange, including the world’s largest, most iconic capital-raising venue with a combined market capitalization of domestic listed issuers larger than the next four exchange groups combined;
- the leading exchange provider of technology services and information content, a high-growth technologies and market data services business and the globally renowned STOXX index franchise; and
- the global pioneer in international post-trade infrastructure and settlement with a broad international revenue base, and significant partnerships in Asia and Latin America .
Mr. Hessels continued: “The combination will be financially powerful, with a strong balance sheet, a world-class management team and an executable strategy -- one perfectly positioned for strategic expansion at a critical juncture in the industry’s global development. The scale and strength of the business will deliver substantial operational and capital savings for clients, along with product innovation and an enhanced range of technology services and market data solutions that will help clients succeed in the rapidly changing global marketplace.”
NYSE Euronext’s financial advisers are Perella Weinberg Partners, BNP Paribas, Goldman, Sachs and Co., and Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc. Its legal advisers are Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, Stibbe N.V. and Milbank, Tweed , Hadley & McCloy LLP.
