Judd Gregg gets his pay-off
I didn’t see this diaried anywhere here, so just so you know that Judd Gregg won’t be going hungry now he’s out of the Senate, he’s been given a job by Goldman Sachs. If you missed the announcement late last week that Goldman Sachs hired former Republican Sen. Judd Gregg to be an international advisor, [...]
Huntsman Loses Gregg Endorsement
Comedy gold from John Huntsman (who apparently enjoys the royal “we”) in Hanover: “Let me just say, we’ve been asked occasionally, ‘well, you served President Obama.’ I did serve President Obama, I served my president, my president asked me to serve, in a time of war, in a time of economic difficulty in this country,” [...]

Something has to give. The mortgage foreclosure fiasco is turning into an inter-agency donnybrook, with the bank-friendly Fed resisting efforts by the FDIC to crack down on illegal foreclosure actions by banks. These squabbles don’t hurt the political elite, they hurt actual homeowners by eliminating tools that they can use to fight the fraud. [...]
A Granite State, Bipartisan Plan to Save Social Security
The Hill: [Judd Gregg] also said that the one-year holiday on payroll taxes will affect [sic] exacerbate the problems with the Social Security Trust Fund. I’m under no illusions that Gregg would ever support a sane fix to SS’s modest revenue challenge – raising the cap. Nor do I think he really cares whether there [...]

If We Don’t cut Social Security Benefits Right Away
…Saddam will give all his WMDs to Osama! (This from the same Very Serious Fiscal Hawk who will throw a tantrum in front of Harry Reid for as long as it takes until all of his rich friends get to keep their deficit skyrocketing Bush tax giveaways.) I guess the one good thing about today [...]
The Stupid That Underlies the Suffering
When Judd Gregg opposed extending jobless benefits back in May, his reasons were rooted in intellectually lazy class stereotypes: Because you’re out of the recession, you’re starting to see growth and you’re clearly going to dampen the capacity of that growth if you basically keep an economy that encourages people to, rather than go out [...]

Each succeeeding Wikileaks docudump leaves me “meh.” I think I finally know why. We lied about why we invaded a country, ending over a hundred thousand lives before their time, wounding many more, displacing more still. Our chief executive at the time goes on book tours. Senators like Judd Gregg leave the stage with full [...]
