The financial crisis deepens with the nationalization of IndyMac and the likely bailout of Freddie Mac and Fannie May by the US taxpayer. The financial crisis has company as inflation, and in particular huge increases in global food and energy prices, enters the fray. The American economic model has been discredited and the American century has lasted but a few decades.

The latest salvo in Bush v. Chavez.
Globalization runs rampant on both sides of the Clinton family. California billionaire and Hillraiser Ron Burkle, a high-end supporter who has raised over $100,000 for Clinton, recently paid $20 million to Bill Clinton as a fair-market settlement for Mr. Clinton’s services and Clinton’s ownership stake in Burkle’s private investment firm, The Yucaipa Companies. Los Angeles-based Yucaipa, founded in 1986, until recently has invested largely in the U.S.
In September 2007 the Yucaipa company bought a large stake in Xinhua, the Chinese government-owned news organization. The same month that Burkle’s Yucaipa firm announced its purchase in Xinhua Finance Media, the Chinese financial news provider, Xinhua News Agency demanded that financial news services including Bloomberg and Reuters in China sell information only through Xinhua.
