White House calls Gingrich a liar on gas prices

LOL. The most deceptive administration in history calls someone a liar? Gas was well below Gingrich’s proposed $2.50 a gallon when Obama took office. Obama chose an energy secretary who is infamous for stating that we need to have gas prices as high as those in Europe. When we see the natural results of that energy department and Obama gets called on it they get testy and start calling presidential candidates liars? Too funny except that we all feel the pain of higher energy costs which Obama said would “necessarily skyrocket” under his plan.

The Fed’s Newest Trick

It has failed on all four fronts. Bank lending for industrial and commercial purposes is still at 2007 levels. Housing price pressure is still pushing downward, there’s no end in sight to the foreclosure fiasco and Fed is the proud owner of as much as a trillion dollars in mortgage-backed securities. The unemployment picture is grim: Jobless claims are up, and labor force participation is at 1980 levels!
