Federal Reserve to get More Power

The “Federal” Reserve is to get more power under the Obama administration’s new regulatory overhaul. They are to have “sweeping authority to regulate any company who’s failure could endager the US economy” according to the Washington Post.

Isn’t this like letting the fox gaurd the hen house? There is nothing “Federal” about the Federal Reserve except it’s name. Again, it is simply a cartel of the banking industries most influintial and wealthiest interests watching out for their own and letting you and I bail them out when they are deemed “too large to fail.”

In other words, now the system will be able to be used to manipulate big business interests and bail out more of them with tax payer dollars providing more fat cats with golden parachutes on the backs of working class Americans.

Conway in the US Open

There is a guy named Conway playing in the US Open this week. Stephen Conway that is from UCLA. I guess it is good to see the name Conway on the leader board. He was even through the first few holes so his name was on page two. He made it in open qualifying in 2004 as well. I wish him well.

That gives me an idea for a fantasy golf game. People with the same last names as players on tour take those players as their own in some type of contest. Maybe they also play a golf tournament themselves and add the scores together. I could see how this could be popular in team formats of foursomes as well.

I can see my team now.  Bucky Woods, Ryan Scott. Crap, I don’t know anyone name Villegas or Weir. Maybe I can come up with someone named Perry. That would be easier.
