Fed Budgetary Experts Demolish CBO Health Cost Model, the Lynchpin of Budget Hysteria « naked capitalism

Fed Budgetary Experts Demolish CBO Health Cost Model, the Lynchpin of Budget Hysteria « naked capitalism:

 "This paper, although written in typically anodyne economese, is devastating in the range and nature of its criticisms. And the reason this assessment should be taken seriously, independent of the importance of the issues it raises, is that the authors are uniquely qualified to make this critique. Follette is chief of the Fed’s fiscal analysis section. Sheiner, a fellow member of that group, has worked for both the Treasury and the Council of Economic Advisers previously. In other words, the sort of analysis they have made here is the core of what they do on a daily basis."

The protesters slogan, 'We are the 99 percent,' calls attention to the fact that marchers are not part of the 1 percent of Americans who hold a vast portion of the nation's wealth.

Occupy Wall Street Activists Buy-Up Debt to Abolish It | The Nation:

 "The idea might have been elegant, but it didn’t work in practice, because the banks wouldn’t play ball: they (and Freddie Mac) simply hated the idea of a homeowner being able to stay in their house after a short sale, and often asked for an affidavit from the buyer saying that the former owner would certainly be kicked out. "
