Congress to Vote on Lifting Obama Ban on Deep-Water Drilling

Any company who can't afford the liability shouldn't be in the business anyway. They are putting their workers and the rest of the nation at risk.

Comcast Pledges Good-Faith Talks With TV Affiliates

I'm still against this as an anti-trust issue. We do NOT need the largest cable company taking over one of the four "broadcast" networks, or movie studios, or anything else.

Where are the anti-trust laws....I love that quote....buy the company because we can profit more from the higher electric rates in that area of the country......not what they can do to LOWER electric rates for everyone.

Apple IPad Components May Cost as Little as $260, ISuppli Says

Too bad this same company hasn't done similar reports on the new Intel chips for their "cost" vs. their retail market price. i5 at TigerDirect $199.99, i7 $279.99 or any of the other electronics out there.

Stanley Works to Buy Black & Decker in All-Stock Deal

Where's the anti-trust here? B&D has already bought out DeWalt in the past. Now Stanley is buying out them? I suppose this deal will go through because Stanley hasn't been into power tools that much yet.

Inventories May Take Over From Consumers as U.S. Growth Engine

The question is how much of that inventory replacement will be from US factories vs foreign sources. We need to DRASTICALLY slow down our overseas sources and rebuild our American products.

GM, Toyota Fuel-Cell Plans Clash With U.S. Battery Car Push

Just as they did with home fueling stations for NG vehicles, Honda is already working on home fueling stations for hydrogen. They are way ahead of all of the other auto manufacturers in technology for the fueling side of fuel-cell technology.

Microsoft Says Ford, Continental Moving to Windows 7

Of course they are switching to Windows 7. VISTA was a total disaster and it has been nearly impossible to buy a PC with anything other than VISTA for the past 3 years. IF you try to change the operating system, the computer manufacturer will VOID YOUR WARRANTEE.

Illegal aliens for Medicaid?

Sounds like another case of the complaints about government care for illegal aliens and their US born children, that we the taxpayers end up paying for. The story doesn't say that they are illegal, but the way it is worded, the reader can easily assume that.

Bair Urges Limits on Bank Size, Seeks New Resolution Authority

I agree.....whatever happened to the Anti-Trust laws? Don't they apply to financial institutions???? It sure seems to me that most of these big banks violated the AT in buying up so many smaller banks.

Obama Orders Government to Buy 17,600 New Cars by June 1

hmmmm, American-made or American Big Three....which may not actually be truly American made?? Remember many Honda and Toyota models are now truly American-made. Just look at the cars rolling off the Honda assembly lines in Ohio.

Pulte to Buy Centex for $1.3 Billion in Survival Bid

GM Said to Speed Bankruptcy Plans as Board Crafts Savings Goals

maybe the unions should get ready to make an offer to buy the assets in bankruptcy and run their own company, or buy up closed plants and start their own manufacturing system. Then they will soon find out just what their high wages and benefits have cost them in lost jobs.
