With Loan Guarantees, Obama Looks to Nuclear Energy for Jobs
This is the VOA Special English Economics Report, from http://voaspecialenglish.com
One year ago, President Obama signed the economic recovery bill aimed at pulling the country out of recession. The bill promised jobs — including many in the nuclear energy industry.
In February, the president announced plans for the government to guarantee more than eight billion dollars in loans for two new nuclear energy centers in the state of Georgia. The Southern Company plans to build the nuclear power centers. The first would start operations in twenty sixteen.
Mister Obama announced the plan at a job training center in Lanham, Maryland. The message was that nuclear energy projects will create jobs. President Obama said: It is a plant that will create thousands of construction jobs in the next few years, and some eight hundred permanent jobs — well paying permanent jobs — in the years to come.
In February, the Federal Reserve predicted that unemployment will remain near current levels through the year. The present rate is nine point seven percent. The central bank said unemployment could remain high for the next two years.
President Obama has received sharp criticism from Republicans over the lack of progress in job creation.
The seven hundred eighty-seven billion dollar American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is also unpopular because of its cost. Critics said the money is being spent too slowly with less than sixty percent being spent so far. But the administration said the measure has saved or created two million jobs.
By supporting nuclear energy, the president may be seeking common ground with Republicans who have called for building as many as one hundred new nuclear power centers.
Mister Obama has linked clean energy with economic growth. He also warned that the United States is falling behind in developing nuclear energy. He said: There are fifty-six nuclear reactors under construction in the world: twenty-one in China alone; six in South Korea and five in India.
The United States has not built a new nuclear power plant in nearly thirty years. American public opinion about nuclear energy has been mixed. In recent years, public opinion studies show more than half of Americans approve of nuclear energy. About one-fifth of the nations electricity is generated by nuclear power.
And that’s the VOA Special English Economics Report.

FED using foreign banks to monetize debt behind closed doors
Bob Chapman talks about the dirty tricks pulled by Ben Bernanke for the federal reserve to manipulate the dollar

Pressure (Countdown) Toward Breakdown
http://www.kitco.com/ind/willie/aug132009.html
By Jim Willie CB
My best sources of information report that some unexpected deep shocks are coming from USGovt creditor nations. They are simply fed up, frustrated, and astonished at the manner of lost control, spiraling debts, and blatant monetization amidst lies in denial of that same monetization.
The USTreasury auctions now have domestic hidden elements, and global hidden monetization elements. The USFed is purchasing through Permanent Open Market Operations the bonds grabbed by the primary dealers. Some of the auctions are actually underbid, and fortunately for the statistics, the bid/cover ratio includes obligated dealer bids.
The USFed liberally uses its USDollar Swap Facility to enable strong bids by foreign central banks, except that they are highly likely coming from USFed accounts on foreign soil, or else from money lent by the USFed itself. Warning after warning have come not to monetize, not to debauch the USDollar currency, not to permit skyrocketing deficits.
Yet they continue, and worse, little if any reform or actual stimulus has occurred. Mainly what we witness is more channeled funds to the big banks, more coverage of credit derivative fires, and more announcements of bond support. See the $1.25 trillion support for Fannie Mae bonds, aka USAgency Mortgage Bonds.
The Green Shoots have now been dismissed as a marketing ploy. The Stress Tests have now been dismissed as a marketing ploy. The Stimulus Plan has now been dismissed as a marketing ploy. The only USEconomic recovery will be a statistical recovery. A Jobless Recovery is a recovery for stocks and a redemption for the bankers. Main Street continues to be discarded.
As a last footnote, never overlook the continued urgent Chinese initiative to spend their USTBonds quickly, for useful tangible purposes, before any damaging sequence of events occurs. Simon Black (aka the International Man) wrote, I have been spending a lot of time this week talking to my sources in China, one of whom is inside one of the countrys sovereign wealth funds (SWF). He also indicated that the SWF analysts were working around the clock trying to put deals together.
For China it is a race against the clock for how fast they can convert their $2 trillion in USDollar holdings into strategic assets, namely oil and gold. At todays deflated prices, putting together a really good billion dollar deal is a difficult thing to do. Putting together 2000 of them is impossible. Doing it before the dollar collapses? Not a Chinamans chance. And they know it.

Lyrics
You gotta help me out
It`s all a blur last night
We need a taxi `cause you`re hung-over and I`m broke
I lost my fake id but you lost the motel key
Spare me your freakin` dirty looks
Now don`t play me
You want to cash out and get the out of town
CHORUS:
Don`t be a baby
Remember what you told me
Shut up and put your money where your mouth is
That`s what you get for waking up in Vegas
Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes, now
That`s what you get for waking up in Vegas
Why are these lights so bright
Oh, did we get hitched last night, dressed up like Elvis,
And why, why am I wearing your class ring?
Don`t call your mother
`Cause now we`re partners in crime
CHORUS:
Don`t be a baby
Remember what you told me
Shut up and put your money where your mouth is
That`s what you get for waking up in Vegas
Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes, now
That`s what you get for waking up in Vegas
You got me into this
Information overload, situation lost control
Send out an S.O.S.
And get some cash out
We`re gonna tear up the town
Don`t be a baby
Remember what you told me (x3)
Told me, you told me, you told me
Shut up and put your money where your mouth is
That`s what you get for waking up in Vegas
Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes, now
That`s what you get for waking up in Vegas
Shake the glitter, shake, shake, shake the glitter, c`mon!
Give me some cash out baby
Give me some cash out, honey.

Health, Money and Fear
Produced by an emergency physician (Paul Hochfeld), “Health, money and Fear” answers three questions about our broken health care non-system. Why does is cost so much? What does it say about us? What can we do about it? While Congress is more focused on the symptom, lack of Universal Coverage, they are ignoring the underlying problem. COST. Unless they address the perverse incentives that drive up cost, the “reform” we are going to get will be more government subsidies so the insurance industry can continue to thrive being central to a dysfunctional health care system that is better at producing profits than health. The elements of the solution must address the elements of the problem: technology, the fear of liability, mass marketing of prescription drugs, the profit motive, chaos in medical records, unrealistic expectatiions, and the multitude of insurance companies that add substantially to cost without contributing anything to health.

The 3 best Dave Ramsey – Credit Card/Debt Collectors are SCUM
My hero, Dave Ramsey, tells of abusive practices and the violation of Federal law incorporated by debt collectors – particularly credit card debt collectors. Most people do not know that they have rights guaranteed to them by the Fair debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and debt collectors knowingly and habitually break these laws in order to frighten them into paying.
IT IS NOT AGAINST THE LAW TO OWE MONEY!
Do not allow yourself to be lied to (example: “You’re going to go to jail if you don’t pay this” is one of their favorites!) or treated without the dignity you deserve.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE FDCPA:
Collectors can NOT call you before 8 am or after 9 pm
Collectors can NOT threaten to have you arrested or charged with a crime if you dont pay
Collectors can NOT continue to call after you have indicated you want them to stop (record your conversation with them, tell them you ARE recording it, write the date and time down in a journal, and follow up with a certified letter stating they may no longer call.)
Collectors can NOT call friends, family members or colleagues repeatedly in order to get you to pay (they may call your acquaintances ONCE in order to track you down and may NOT mention that you owe money or give ANY information that would lead someone to believe that they are attempting to collect a debt.)
For more information on your rights under the FDCPA, please visit my website at www.myarrp.com (click on the “Help With Credit” link at the top.)
To the scum debt collectors reading this: We’re mad as and we’re not going to take this any more! We the People are being educated as to your tactics, garnering strength and numbers, and proposing legislation. We’ll be in touch with you…

Johnny Cash – Help me (with Lyrics)
One of the best Songs, it is so beautiful.
Oh, lord, help me walk
Another mile, just one more mile;
I’m tired of walkin’ all alone.
And lord, help me to smile
Another smile, just one more smile;
Don’t think I can do things on my own.
I never thought I needed help before;
Thought that I could get by – by myself.
But now I know I just can’t take it any more.
And with a humble heart, on bended knee,
I’m beggin’ You please for help
Oh come down from Your golden throne to me, to lowly me;
I need to feel the touch of Your tender hand.
Release the chains of darkness
Let me see, Lord let me see;
Just where I fit into your master plan.
I never thought I needed help before;
Thought that I could get by – by myself.
Now I know I just can’t take it any more.
And with a humble heart, on bended knee,
I’m beggin’ You please for help
With a humble heart, on bended knee,
I’m beggin’ You please for help
