How many millions of more jobs have to be outsourced before Washington wakes up? It makes you wonder if the recently released report by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is some sort of a cruel joke. It claims that U.S. trade agreements have…

The clever comedy tale that's being spun by Wall Street megabanks and their minions here in Washington is that they are paying back $700 billion our taxpayers bestowed on them in the fall of 2008. In fact, some spinmeisters say the bailout…

I think it's important to state that at the beginning of the financial crisis, these large institutions, the six of them that are the most culpable--JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, HSBC, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs--had one-third…
