and now the fcc is doing it and that is why we have a regulatory czar, he had a dream job and he is making his dreams come true and they will be our nightmare. also, president obama is losing ground on the bush tax cuts and if he cannot get this done, he will push the idea of a value-added tax. it has to be great because it had value in the title. and europe, which we have been watching for quite some time and warning before anything was perk percolating, and now it is a mess. europe is presented with a choice, this from the financial times, the fact is we are now near the point at last when europe s policymakers will be faced with either setting up a fiscal union or sitting back and watching as our banks implode around us. i thought they said this would not happen? if you had to pick today, is freedom marching or in retreat?
