U.S. Homeless Population Continues to Rise

Liling Tan reports on a worrying nationwide trend of the steadily increasing homeless population in the United States

The Great Recession was made so great not only by the biggest financial meltdown since 1929, but also it was severely exacerbation by policies placed by George W. Bush. Not only did needless expansions in medicare, social security, and defense spending (Iraq and Afghanistan wars) drastically undermine the federal government's ability to "bail out" our economy via Keynesian means, but also Bush's deregulation of the financial sector has accelerated the widening division between rich and poor.

The European Crisis Continues: No Solution on the Horizon (Václav Klaus)

As the European Crisis continues, with no solution in sight, it is becoming increasingly clear to many that the problems are deep and structural. Stagnant growth, persistent unemployment, and public dissatisfaction are threatening the very premises of the European project. Although some believe that "an ever-closer Europe" is the solution, others argue that the current crisis is no accident; it is the natural result of naïve and excessively optimistic expectations concerning the economic benefits of integration and centralization. Professor Václav Klaus, former Czech minister of finance and prime minister, and now distinguished senior fellow at the Cato Institute, will address these pressing questions during his first visit to Washington just days after stepping down from his second term as president.

Cyprus Bank Reopens but Depositors to Loose up to 80 Percent ~ Mike Rivero

Cypriots expressed fury and frustration – but confounded predictions of chaos and even violence – as they formed orderly queues on Thursday to enter the country’s banks, which reopened after being closed for nearly two weeks by a financial crisis that has shaken the foundations of the European Union and its common currency. There had been fears that branches would be besieged by angry customers in the wake of a 10 billion euro ($13 billion) bailout deal agreed to with Brussels in which one Cypriot bank will fold, another will be restructured, and depositors will be hit with heavy losses. The banks reopened only after the Cypriot government rushed through draconian capital control measures on Wednesday night, limiting cash withdrawals to just 300 euros ($384) per person per day and imposing harsh restrictions on credit payments and the transfer of money abroad.
