      In a written statement released from the White House this morning, Pres. Obama cited the Syrian people as the motivating factor in this decision, “The future of Syria must be determined by its people, but President Bashar al-Assad is standing in their way.”  Obama also said the U.S. would not intervene in any transition of power and asked other countries not to impose their will upon Syria.

      The President also declared sactions on the country, “My Administration is announcing unprecedented sanctions to deepen the financial isolation of the Assad regime.”   An Executive Order requiring the immediate freeze of all assets of the Government of Syria was signed by the President that prohibits ”U.S. persons from engaging in any transaction involving the Government of Syria.” More »

    Government’s Role in the Mortgage Market: The More Things Change…

    The Washington Post is reporting that President Obama has directed his staff to design a new set of government guarantees behind the U.S. mortgage market. Remarkably, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac may be retained, despite their role in driving the housing bubble. Comments Cato scholar Mark A. Calabria, “President Obama appears to be considering just putting the same failed system in place. Of course, we’ll be promised that it will all work better this time.”

    Why Warren Buffett Is Wrong

    In a New York Times op-ed, Warren Buffett asserts that the super-rich do not pay enough taxes. He suggests that any new budget deal should raise rates on the super-rich, especially on their “unearned” income from interest, dividends and capital gains. Cato scholar Jeffrey A. Miron responds, “Buffett is wrong. Bad government policies play a major role in generating inappropriately high incomes, but singling out the super-rich is misguided.”
