GlaxoSmithKline BU$TED!!!!​

"GlaxoSmithKline Plc agreed to plead guilty to misdemeanor criminal charges and pay $3 billion to settle what government officials on Monday described as the largest case of healthcare fraud in U.S. history.

The agreement, which still needs court approval, would resolve allegations that the British drugmaker broke U.S. laws in the marketing and development of pharmaceuticals.

GSK targeted the antidepressant Paxil to patients under age 18 when it was approved for adults only, and it pushed the drug Wellbutrin for uses it was not approved for, including weight loss and treatment of sexual dysfunction, according to an investigation led by the U.S. Justice Department.

The company went to extreme lengths to promote the drugs, such as distributing a misleading medical journal article and providing doctors with meals and spa treatments that amounted to illegal kickbacks, prosecutors said.

In a third instance, GSK failed to give the U.S. Food and Drug Administration safety data about its diabetes drug Avandia, in violation of U.S. law, prosecutors said."

Arizona: No Workers!!​

"There’s a whiff of 2005 in the Arizona air. While D.J. Hughes hunts for carpenters to join his team at a Phoenix-area house-framing company, competitors are tracking down his workers at building sites and offering them more money. “Everybody is trying to pull crews from everyone,” says Hughes, a project manager for J.L. Baugh Construction in Gold Canyon, Ariz., who admits to attempted talent raids on rivals. “I’ve been doing this for a quarter of a century, and this is the biggest shortage of skilled laborers I’ve ever seen.”

Downtimes of a few days at construction sites are becoming more common as builders wait for crews to finish other jobs before starting work, according to Reed Porter, chief executive officer of Trend Homes in Gilbert, Ariz. The average time to complete a house in the area is four months, twice as long as it took in February, says Jim Belfiore, president of market researcher Belfiore Real Estate Consulting in Phoenix. “A lot of builders were caught on their heels,” Belfiore says, surprised by “how rapidly the demand situation turned around.”

Boehner says Obama can't run on economic record | US National Headlines | Comcast

WASHINGTON — House Speaker John Boehner (BAY'-nur) says President Barack Obama can't run for re-election on his economic record so his campaign will "pull out every bogey man that they can."

The Ohio Republican tells CBS News that he and Obama were close to a deal to break the budget stalemate when Obama "lost his courage."Boehner says he agreed to raise revenue by overhauling the tax code and Obama initially accepted changes in entitlement programs. Instead, the speaker says, Obama ended up advocating higher tax rates for the wealthy.

Boehner says he believes former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney is well prepared for the general election "and will appeal to more than half of America." He predicts Obama "is going to make the election about anything other than his failed economic policies."

Was he saying that between sobs?

Looking at the dem economic record would bring tears to anyones eyes, with the exception of the useful idiots.

It's too bad they're so smug as they're humming about it, too ~~~

John Boehner (BO-ner) is an idiot, along with being a disgrace to Congress and manhood. He is probably the most ineffective Speaker in American history.

Yes we understand the low life of the left prefer their legislation be passed through gimmicks and bribes.

Hardware Is Hot
Again!!!​

"For decades, the accepted wisdom of the Valley was that the best way to get rich was to build software.

“They all thought they could get someone else to do the hard work,” says Hartmut Esslinger, founder of Frog Design, which helped create the first Apple (AAPL) Macintosh computer. The idea that a 20-month-long design and production process could be handled by assigning a couple of engineers to find a Chinese factory “was just too easy and seductive,” he says. “Now they’re realizing that their hardware partners don’t have the vision to create anything holistic. And meanwhile, Apple is eating their breakfast, lunch, and dinner.”

CFPB Scores; Over Capital One!​

"Before Elisabeth Warren became our fave-rave U.S. Senatorial candidate for Massachusetts, before Scott Brown bragged about his secret meetings with kings and queens, Ms. Warren was on the radar for helping to create a little something known as the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau."

Boehner says Obama can't run on economic record

And?

Given Boehner’s failure as Speaker, that’s in no way convincing; particularly since the House bears most of the responsibility for failing to take action to address jobs and the economy.

The House passes dozens of bill that go to the Senate and....................................

Can you deny that?

So if one leg on the three legged stool (Senate, House, President) of 'how a bill becomes law' can block another's, then the other should get a pass? Is that how it works?

I don't see Obama running on his record.

You Can Tell BU$HCO Is GONE​

"Adding to concerns are documents released by the New York Federal Reserve Bank this month that show bank regulators in the United States and England had some knowledge that bankers were submitting misleading Libor bids during the 2008 financial crisis to make their financial institutions appear stronger than they really were.

Among other details, the Fed documents included the transcript of an April 2008 phone call between a Barclays trader in New York and Fed official Fabiola Ravazzolo, in which the unidentified trader said: "So, we know that we're not posting um, an honest LIBOR."

U.S. prosecutors and European regulators are close to arresting individual traders and charging them with colluding to manipulate global benchmark interest rates, according to people familiar with a sweeping investigation into the rate-rigging scandal.

Beyond regulatory penalties and criminal charges, banks face a growing number of civil lawsuits from cities, companies and financial institutions claiming they were harmed by rate manipulation. Morgan Stanley recently estimated that the 11 global banks linked to the Libor scandal may face $14 billion in regulatory and legal settlement costs through 2014.

In the United States, the regulatory investigation is being led by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which has made the Libor probe one of its top priorities."

Health Care Reform;
WINNING!!!

"The non-partisan U.S. Congressional Budget Office said on Tuesday that the Supreme Court ruling that upheld President Barack Obama's healthcare law could save the government some $84 billion over 11 years.

The savings comes largely from a portion of the decision giving the states an escape hatch from the law's expanded program of healthcare coverage for the poor. That expansion is funded jointly by the federal and state governments through the Medicaid program, so that any state that drops out gets less federal money.

The CBO estimated that about 6 million fewer people than anticipated will be covered by Medicaid as a result of states that opt out, lowering the overall cost to the federal government.

The CBO also said that repealing Obama's healthcare law would increase the deficit over the next decade by $109 billion."​
