Obama wants all Americans to now report voluntarily to the government regarding any foreign travel. The program is currently voluntary, but the word on the Hill is there are those who are suggesting this should be mandatory to protect Americans of course.

Edward Snowden  is now trapped in transit limbo at a Moscow airport, where he finds himself with no alternative but to accept asylum in Russia. The arrangement is “temporary” but what this affair illustrates more is how government fails to distinguish itself from the nation. Government loves to pretend they are the divine hand of […]

Just as they say there is the calm before the storm, there is always the false move before the breakout. As we approach the midpoint on the Economic Confidence Model August 7th, which is curiously 31.4 days from the low, we should keep in mind that this is the midpoint and not the climax peak. […]
