Keith Messina Here is a news story flying under the radar. As we listen to our politicians talk about another green stimulus, which is about as good as Cash for Clunkers, we see a story about fraud in Hadley Climate Center emails.

Keith Messina If anyone wants to read the actual report from the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program feel free to visit the link below. The report itself is long, but offers a good executive summary at the beginnig of what the TARP program is.

Keith Messina Apparently those troubled assets that the government took care of with TARP weren't the trouble at all. This new finding almost makes it look like the House Financial Services Committee's new regulations might be misguided.

The Wall Street Journal writes that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has undercut the case for his own derivatives and systemic risk legislation. Mr. Geithner told the TARP inspector general that bailouts were not driven by AIG's credit-default-swap counterparties after all.
Keith Messina Is the TARP program really helping the economy recover quickly? How about the fact that it let the government become a controlling interest in pay decisions that has lead to at least one large bank wondering who will be willing to endure this kind of scrutiny from the government in order to take the job of CEO.

Keith Messina In response to the question which was asked of me,"Do you support universal healthcare?" I support getting everyone covered through the use of free-market initiatives, rather than mandatory enrollment and the type of federal government intervention, which are both unconstitutional. I do believe however that the McCarra...n–Ferguson Act which exempts insurance from federal antitrust regulation should be repealed as well.
Keith Messina In response to the question which was asked of me,"Do you support gay rights?" I support the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act, as it is unconstitutional because the federal government isn't afforded the power by The Constitution to make that decision. I also believe that same-sex couples should enjoy the same bene...fits as opposite-sex couples that are gauranteed under The Constitution.

Keith Messina This video shows the problem with having the government as an interest in private businesses. In this video, near the end, Steve Rattner, the former Car Czar, talks about how the administration nearly decided to let Chrysler go under for the mere fact that it was a competitor against the company that the government was... a shareholder in, GM. By letting Chrysler fail, the argument was made, GM would be made more powerful in the market. What about conflict of interest?
