Sorry to repost but I thought it was important because this COULD turn into a wildfire.
Jesus,

The new law will get rid of the Fed's independence? They act independently of politics? Who is Cumberland Advisors kidding? While I don't agree with this new rule on the surface, its passing will merely solidify what has already been taking place between the Fed and the Treas, at least for the past 9 years. The Fed is politically motivated in its easy money policy and its contraction of the money supply at the behest of Congress/Goldman Sachs/Treasury.
On a side note, I am in the rears on my Federal icome theft and each check I write has "for the public support of Goldman" in the memo line. I don't know how to combat the assholes anymore, so I am left with empty word on my tribute payments to the Federal Reserve/Goldman.
Is ISM like Chicago PMI where it's released early to subscribers/others?
Taxpayer screwed again.
Nice little trick with the September construction spending data...

With regard to the column by Evans-Pritchard on Japan's problems that quoted CDS rates for defaults on the debt of various governments, I've always wondered who writes these contracts and how buyers can have any confidence that their counterparty will actually be able to pay off in the event of a debt default of a major country which would almost certainly cause an unpredictable chain reaction in the value of currencies and securities.
Does anybody know who writes these contracts and why buyers are confident they'll be able to pay off?
