Amplify’d from techcrunch.com
While the economic climate in the United States remains uncertain, economists and pundits alike continue to define our recent fiscal crisis with words like recession, downturn and depression. But labeling America’s current financial woes should not be the focus for Americans as the overall economy struggles to free itself from its malaise. What really matters is how the current circumstances affect you and what they mean to your future.

McHenry takes chair of subcommittee overseeing bank bailouts
U.S. Rep. Patrick McHenry will take over as chairman of the congressional oversight subcommittee overseeing bank bailouts, a role in which he pledges to probe the Obama administration.
McHenry, a Cherryville Republican, will become chairman of the Subcommittee on TARP, Financial Services and Bailouts of Public and Private Programs. It will be part of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
“Over the past three years, our government has committed trillions of taxpayer dollars to bail out private institutions without proper oversight. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are at the core of this economic crisis, yet continue to have access to the taxpayers’ pocketbook,” said McHenry in a statement.
“This administration has taken unprecedented action in the financial and capital markets – now it’s time we hold them accountable. I look forward to leading this committee’s charge to bring transparency, openness, and solutions for the challenges facing our financial system.”
The incoming committee chairman, U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa of California, said McHenry will lead the committee’s relationship with the financial industry and make sure that government and private enterprises are held accountable with taxpayer dollars.

Brown to lead Senate commerce
Likely Senate leader Phil Berger continued his early roll-out of committee announcements, naming Sen. Harry Brown chairman of the chamber's Commerce Committee.
Brown, an auto dealer from Jacksonville, is also majority leader.
Committee announcements usually come the long session starts, but Republicans have made it clear that they don't intend to chew up time in the early weeks with a lot of administrative formalities.
“Sen. Brown has just the right combination of on-the-ground experience as a business owner and perspective as a veteran lawmaker to bring fresh eyes to the Commerce chairmanship," Berger said in a statement. "His commitment to improving North Carolina’s business climate makes him the ideal choice for this post.”

Japanese multiplication method. Try it.
Amplify’d from gizmodo.com
When I first saw this Japanese multiplication method, I just couldn't believe it. Then I tried it and it works perfectly, but still can't understand how it works—or how anyone found this method.
You just need to follow the instructions in the video, and you will be able to multiply any number by any number by just counting the dots in the grid.

Continuing N.C. Employment Woes Should Prompt Change on Corporate Welfare

Continuing N.C. Employment Woes Should Prompt Change on Corporate Welfare
RALEIGH — North Carolina’s ongoing struggle with sluggish employment growth provides more evidence that it’s time for the state to change course on economic policy. That’s the advice the John Locke Foundation‘s top budget expert offers after North Carolina registered the largest job loss of any state in November.
As Perdue and the new Republican-led General Assembly look for ways to fill a multibillion-dollar state budget hole, one place to start is abolishing corporate welfare, Coletti said. “As the John Locke Foundation explains in its recommendations for the new General Assembly’s First 100 Days, the focus of state policy should be on economic growth, not government-dictated economic development,” he said. “That means cutting taxes and reducing regulations for all businesses, not subsidizing a privileged few.”
The failure of policies based on corporate welfare should be clear by now, Coletti said. “First, we heard that these special handouts were designed to lure high-paying jobs to North Carolina,” he explained. “Then the corporate welfare targeted jobs — any jobs — regardless of the pay. Then the handouts targeted existing companies that were thinking about creating new jobs. Next, the General Assembly paid off companies to preserve operations in North Carolina even if those companies planned to cut jobs.”
