  • Tax Trauma: "This is an Emergency."

    Published December 07, 2010

Goolsbee's comment about this being an emergency, came in response to my question as to whether anyone on either side of the aisle was talking about *how* to pay for these $900 billion in tax cuts. Now comes the question: can the President convine his own party members to vote for the

  • One Man TRULY Committed to Deficit Cuts

    Published December 02, 2010

    It's called a "balance" sheet for a reason. It has to be balanced...not a total mess. David Cote understands what it means to balance a budget. He runs a $40 billion dollar company called Honeywell. So imagine his surprise when, as a member of the Deficit Commission, he was surrounded by some who weren't willing to compromise when it came to cutting. I don't know about you but I'm thrilled a fiscally responsible businessman is on this commission.

    Published November 29, 2010

  • "The Taxpayer Will Make Money on GM"

    Published November 18, 2010

    Really? We can only hope that Diane Swonk, uber-economist at Mesirow Financial, is right. She made that very statement yesterday First on Fox Business on "Countdown to the Closing Bell." I nudged her to clarify because we're talking about $60 billion dollars of taxpayer money. Watch the clip below especially on the day when you're getting paid back at least some of the money used to prop up GM again. Let's be happy at least about THIS: General Motors was a great American icon that employed a lot of people.

What does Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary Schapiro think about that, considering how hard she pushed to make it a reality in the wake of the financial meltdown? Schapiro sat down with me today in a one-on-one interview for "Countdown to the Closing Bell" and flat-out said she'd be happy to meet with
