It never ceases to amaze me, how arrogant Politians can be.......the very thought that Obama would presume to address our School Children is abhorant. Where are you Americans that complain about everything.?? Get out and protest about this invastion of our Education System and our manipulation of the minds of our children. Are you all asleep? Druged, or drunk? Wake up...the alarm clock has been trying to get you out of your drugged sleep.... be aware of what is happening. The dumbing of Americans, socialism, and mind control. Do not live in HOPE, live in Faith that we can make our lives better///not with the Government nursing us, but with our own intelligence and hard work. Get up, get out, and get going!!!

There is nothing wrong with the President speaking to school children about current events. If I remember correctly, Bush was in a classroom in Miami when the twin towers were attacked. What is O K for the goose is O K for the gander.

Bush didn't use a propaganda film asking people to pledge allegiance to the president instead of the flag.

All the above are relevant to bond prices how? Though as long as Iriduim gets his "news" from Rush Limbaugh, we'll continue to see his baseless assertions. I'd always thought that "Faith, Hope, and Charity" went as a trio and you couldn't drop out any of them. Well, serves me right for sleeping through Sunday School.

More to point. Admittedly nothing lasts forever, but as long as the recovery is in it's initial stages and job losses continue, I'll bet & invest on the basis on low interest rates.

I think that if the Fed announces it will buy no more Treasury Bonds then prices will dive and interest rates will soar. The negative effect of higher rates on business and the markets will cause Bernanke to lose his nerve and go back to buying Treasuries (monetizing debt).

The release of IMF special drawing rights (SDR's) on September 9 will be the world telling the US that they will no longer support the dollar as the world reserve currency. Just this last week the Chinese bought $50 billion of these SDR's when the could have bought Treasuries.

Next week the Treasury will borrow over $125 billion, a new weekly record. The US Treasury is sucking up the liquidity in the world more than any other country. This lack of liquidity will guarantee a slower recovery worldwide.

When the FED buys Treasuries it's just a shell game as the FED prints the dollar, charges us through the IRS a fee and controlls all the money, credit, interest rates and the "Treasury" and "government". They are buying "Treasuries" because no-one else will. America is 100 TRILLION in the hole which is more money than the entire planet has ever seen-then we have to pay interest on that? A chart of the money supply shows they ran the printing presses overtime and flooded not the people but the banksters with trillions and the effect has not yet been felt. Once this paper floods out into the "system" you will experience inflation and the dollar will drop and interest rates will have to soar. Experienced this down in Brazil working at GM back in the late 80's. Currrency collapse(two of them). Big risk the dollar will become toilet paper with these idiots running the show-bankster gangsters. They are globalists who backed Communist China and India so this might be what they want, to bust this country down into their global financial sysytem and a new global currency. I like gold, silver, oil, copper, steel, real things even agriculture and water.

The fed should never have never bought these bonds in the first place.(WITH PRINTED MONEY FROM THIN AIR). China has stopped buying them and are now buying from the IMF. Why because china knows they are worthless and that the Us can not pay back the debt, they will default. They have also pulled all there GOLD from England banks into their own. The Chinese knows what is coming, yes the collapse of the dollar. They have also told their people to but GOLD. Russia, Brazil, India and other countries have followed suit.

why is it i can't figure out what branch of our goverment THE FEDERAL RESERVE belongs to?>>when was the last time our treasury pinted currency?>>what event happened shortly after the treasury started printing money?>>>why did the treasury stop printting currency?>>>what has the greater value 1 a federal reserve note or 2 a treasury note?

what would happen if we fired the federal reserve? it seems that china is owed big bucks not from america but a private bank called the federal reserve. in the end things will work out we can print our own dollars and send those worthles federal reserve notes to china lol

At 3.5 trillion, the interest on the national debt becomes self perpetuating...you pay interest and never pay down the principle. We are at what, 7 trillion heading for 11 trillion in debt? The country is broke, run by corrupt politicians who don't seem to understand rudimentary business principals. Am I missing something or are we screwed?

I'm curious what happens to the parents and children that don't attend school? Think about it, Schools will have attendance records for the no shows of children forever. Your thoughts and opinion of the President will no longer be private. This will affect everyone for a long time to come. The anti-Obamas, anti-Socialist and the anti-global warming parents will have nowhere to hide. The children will be targets for indoctrination in the short and long term, the money can be focused on those that resist government control. Think about it, you have 3 types of school children. First, those parents and children that support the government currently in power. Second type, are the parents and children that don't care about politics. Which is ok for the government, its like sheep being herded to the slaughter house. Or in this case, school house. 3rd type, Are parents and children that are informed, listen to AM talk radio, Fox news, tea party goers, patriots or a political activist. They will know you by name and persecute these people, the AM radio towers are come down already, look it up. They just started destroying the towers this weekend, Soon all communication towers will be destroyed. As we speak the age of information is near its end.

Where can I find the am radio towers are coming down
I have searched the net and can not find it can you help me thank you I know Acorn started buying up all the radio stations with the money that was allocated to it from our tax money from Obama???

The current congress will repeat history.

Hers is an idea ..End the Stinking FED !! these banksters and ther crones ned to go. I would be willing to cut my losses now for the better times to come later.

We will soon see stagflation where jobs are scarce and prices are high. These games the government plays with one agency, The Treasury. selling it's debt to another agency The Fed, of course cannot go on forever. Furthermore, when the Chinese start producing for their own markets and no longer need the American market they wil stop financing American debt then it's all over for the American economy; unless, of course, we bring those jobs back and start producing real things instead of paper products like the various financial instruments which reallly are not worth the paper they are printed on.

better times are ahead, with dingdongs on the right and lunies on the left the middle is growing, we now control who is elected, and soon we will have our own un stopable middle of the raod party. the fedreal reserve can be fired, which will happen. we will return to the good times where it only tales one wage earner in a family. minimum wage will be indexed to the enegy price, bringing the cost of goods down

please request bloggers to add their qualiifications like Harvard Yale Princeton etc.

FYI, you folks so outraged at Obama trying to encourage our students: Ronnie R, your hero, did the same thing. So do some homework before you judge, boys and girls.

This country is run by the private FED oil banksters who are desperate. Long headed by geezer gangsters who never worked a day in their spoiled elite lives like David Rockefeller who heads the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commision, Council of the America's, the Bilderburg Group, Rockefeller Foundation, etc. and had Cheney as former director at CFR and Obama's chief foreign policy advisor as co-founder of his Trilateral Commision. They want CONTROL and are desperately afraid of losing it and their money which IS the FED. Back in 1911 John D.Rockefeller's Standard Oil was broken up as he was the most hated man in America and a total gangster who operated a terror network to seize 90% of the oil business. In 1913 the robber barons having financed Wilson's campaign had him sign the FED/IRS scam which gave them complete control over all the money and through the IRS forced us to pay them a fee for it. Your Federal Taxes are collected by the IRS but the money goes into their private banks and bankers see human beings as a cost on their balance sheets-a liablity-that's you. JP Morgan realized he could control the media by simply buying into all the major papers to control their editorial staffs. Since then a small group of people have controlled the nation and played us with wars, taxes, booms and busts, and market manipulations also seizing the major corporations. They created the CIA from the OSS which ran right out of their offices in NYC. Set up the cold war, Vietnam, profited from both sides in WW11, and make money moving markets either up or down.(makes no difference to them as long as they move) Globalist banksters who backed Communist China's rise and have us as cannon fodder to control the Caspian and middle eastern oil fields. However they gave China and BP the best oil pool in Iraq and the Caspian gas will be piped to India's booming economy cutting out the Russians and Iran. Their ultimate goal is global domination and control and this involves breaking the United States down and I would assume the dollar although I don't know what their exact timetable is.(not sure they do either) As long as they can keep the majority from knowing about them and who they are they can operate and pull this off. 99.99% of the people on earth haven't a clue. Kennedy tried to stop them as he was a proud nationlist and American but they blew out his brains and his brother's and killed his son so it's hard to see how they could be stopped. Just gangsters and the 911 BS, anthrax, killing of Senator Paul Wellstone, Patriot Act, TSA, Homeland Security, NSA, CIA, FEMA, etc. are just to control the people while they bust us down and fleece us.(stole over 24 trillion in the last year) Most folks are just kept too busy trying to survive they never have time to think or figure them out. Trade technically following the trends up and down and the dollar has been backed by oil since 1971-Nixon. Gold, oil, commodities generally trade opposite and when the full effects of the massive printing of dollars to the banks hits the dollar will sink against them.
Oh, I have been all over the world, worked for NCS bought by Pearson Plc(operates in 64 countries), GM down in Brazil, Lockheed Martin, Adage, CGX, etc. and my father had David Rockefeller in a "class" at Colombia. We're screwed. NCS and Pearson set up the TSA under Homeland Security, No Child Left Behind, etc. and through Akin&Gump installed Bush/Cheney 2000 and their "program" that followed. Control is what they are all about.
