States reported fifth consecutive drop in tax collections in Q4
In other news, "The Recovery" continues to rate a Solid B+.
I always thought that Obama was rather humble with his B+ rating. He brought us back from the brink you know...

The striking fact is that Papandreou's approval ratings continue to rise even as he announces tougher sacrifices.
One more factoid that undermines the general belief in governing circles that the bearer of bad news will be shot by the general public or that facts will somehow undermine confidence. Unless the object of confidence building measures is to further a lie.

Quote of the Day
The point of recognition will eventually arrive that our debt issues are cumulative; when that happens, the contagion will no longer be contained. --John Mauldin, Investor Insight
Excellent quote, +1.
Originally reported by John Carney over at the Business Insider website, Citigroup is sending the following information to customers along with their bank statements.
“Effective April 1, 2010, we reserve the right to require (7) days advance notice before permitting a withdrawal from all checking accounts. While we do not currently exercise this right and have not exercised it in the past, we are required by law to notify you of this change.”
An almost identical advisory to the one being sent out can be read on page 22 of Citbank’s Client Manual effective January 1, 2010, which can be read here from Citibank’s own website.
“We reserve the right to require seven (7) days advance notice before permitting a withdrawal from all checking, savings and money market accounts. We currently do not exercise this right and have not exercised it in the past,” states the manual.
