Articles on Bin Laden's assassination, US debt and unemployment, Greece and Spain, why economists are foolish, and the 41st Canadian Federal Election including Harper's bullying of the media and Jack's rise.

Articles on President Obama’s birth certificate coming out of the closet, another serious look at the myth of the benefits of debt supported university education, how Goldman Sachs created food inflation, how not following well thought out regulations created the Fukushima tragedy, a look at bubbles, and a useful test on whether your politics and economics adds up to you being Gandhi or Stalin.

Also Morgan Stanley’s take on inflation, how high energy prices can solve our energy problems, and what we learned about Michael Ignatieff.
