Memo to Congress: Show Us the M-O-N-E-Y! (Part 2 of 3) The financial crisis is still rattling Wall Street as calls for austerity grow. Meanwhile, federal, state and local governments are privatizing public infrastructure in order to fill budgetary shortfalls. Yet the CAFR reports reveal that all governmental entities can simultaneously have a budget shortfall AND a financial surplus which is often used to invest in the financial markets even as main street starves.

Memo to Congress: Show Us the M-O-N-E-Y! (Part 1 of 3) Because state and local economies continue to show signs of serious stress, Fed Chair Ben Bernancke took the bold and controversial step to expand quantitative easing through QE2 and beyond if need be. With QE1 still sloshing around in reserve accounts of major Wall Street banks, the Fed Chair is seeking ways to get the money-as-credit spigot flowing on Main Street. Can it work, and is there perhaps a better way?
