| Democratic Presidential Candidates Debate in South Carolina
Markets around the world are in a tailspin because of fears of a U.S. recession. So far this year, the Dow has lost nearly 9 percent. How much money would your stimulus plan put in the pockets of the average South Carolinian? CLINTON: Well, Joe, I'm glad you started with the economy, because that is the number-one issue. What's been happening in the markets, what's been happening with the home mortgage crisis, $100-a- barrel oil, so many of the issues that are really at the kitchen tables of Americans today and what they're talking to me about. We have to stimulate the economy. I began calling for some kind of economic action plan back at the beginning of December. I have a package of $110 billion; $70 billion of that would go towards dealing with the mortgage crisis, which, unfortunately, I don't think that President Bush has really taken seriously enough.
Your Comments : Ali's claim wrong: Nacewa
I think the big culprit here is Iloilo's wife. IF she really loved her husband, she wouldnt allow him to be exposed so much as to look like a power hungry man who just doesnt know when to let go. GULONG of Fiji (96 days and 23 hours ago) Shamima Ali, what really is your JD[job description],seems like you acting like a politician now,I hope you serving our women to their satisfaction otherwise SHAME on YOU. Myyta of Tokatoka (96 days and 23 hours ago) I dont mean to be rude but me think that the president is too tired especially with the current state of the economy and moreso from the international pressures directed at Fiji right now. Invariably, this must all be taking its toll on him. who could blame him?? Then again, I bet He must be having migraines 24/7 now since bai had returned from Tonga last week lol.

Q: When the stock market falls due to lots of selling, who's buying? - G.K., Elizabeth City, N.C.
A: Generally, for every seller, there's a buyer. The stock market is like an auction, where shares trade at prices that buyers are willing to pay and sellers are willing to take.
Republicans trade harsher charges as top Democrats wrangle over ...
Lincoln didn't give a rats behind about slaves, only saving the side he was on, and his quotes about men being equal, you can't even make an argument that this pertained to slaves. Slaves were not counted as whole people back then. Really bad article Jefferey, shame on you. .
Wisconsin only state left without a budget
And while the budget is pending, lawmakers and the governor are free to shake the trees for campaign donations.
"All the things that contribute to gridlock, we have," said Todd Berry, president of the nonpartisan Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance.As the two political parties become more polarized, it's harder for compromises to be reached, said Mike McCabe, director of the government watchdog group the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign."Instead of being pushed toward compromise, they're being pulled toward the extremes," McCabe said.Even though current spending is continuing during the impasse, Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle and others warn that not passing a budget soon will result in higher property taxes, cuts in health care services and a breakdown in public safety.Republicans are cheering the logjam.As they see it, not having a budget means none of the more than $1 billion in tax increases Democrats want will ever see the light of day.
Never a bad time talking to Salerno
Salerno probably could have worked anywhere at any level as a reporter. He stayed in Chicago and moved his family to Crystal Lake because that's the life he wanted.
"Everybody loved Randy and he could fit in any environment," Weir said. "But his sunlight and oxygen were his kids, his wife and Chicago. … I'm honored to have called him my friend. Just make sure you hammer how much he loved those kids."
Taking the air out: Days after WJMK-FM 104.3's Steve Dahl wisely backed out of an on-air "Win a Date With Drew Contest" suggested by Drew Peterson's lawyer, the blowback continues.
Peterson was doing a live interview Friday for Shepard Smith on Fox News Channel's "Studio B." The suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife around three months ago happily talked about how he went on Dahl's morning show to take the air out of Dahl, but then Smith started asking more substantial questions.
