FNF Year in Review In case you were high as a kite, joined witness protection, got tied up at work or were caught with your pants down here's what you missed this year. The year started with the economy bordering on depression as President Bush handed over the White House to President Obama. Democrats passed the stimulus bill dispite opposition from the Republicans, leading to tea parties across the nation. President Obama pushed healthcare reform, town hall debates became heated with polls showing Americans were split on healthcare. After reports of cases of Swine flu in the Spring, the world geared up for a pandemic with President Obama getting his Flu shot and even Santa's demanding it. After Supreme Court Justice Souter hung up his robes, President Obama picked Sonia Sotomayor who kept her cool despite a grilling from the Senate. Alaska Governor Palin shocked everyone with her resignation and later kicked off a huge book tour. Gay marriage was approved by Vice President Cheney and recognised by California Governor Schwarzenegger and briefly Maine whilst Miss California's gay marriage stance led to Donald Trump stripping her of her title . There was Death Panels, Cash for Clunkers, Balloon Boy, Susan Boyle stole Simon Cowell's heart, a low flying Airforce One caused panic in New York , a new generation of Trekkies were born and Captain Sulley Sullenberger was the hero of the year for his Hudson river landing.

Health Care Endgame: What Will Reform Cost You?

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 16:25:01 GMT

For more info visit www.newsinfusion.com Everyone has a right to affordable health care. On this, we all agree. But, after months of committee hearings, backdoor meetings and debate, debate, debate, the long-awaited Senate vote is fast approaching and as poll numbers show, many of us are still asking, “will health reform end up costing us more?" In fact, according to a Washington Post poll out last Wednesday, few Americans actually believe that government action is needed to control health-care costs and expand coverage to those without insurance. More than half of those polled, 53 percent, see higher costs for themselves as a result of health reform measures, than if the current system remains intact. And they are right. The Senate bill contains many provisions that could indeed cause sticker shock for most of us.

Enabling Small Lenders To Keep Economy Moving

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 14:25:03 GMT

President Obama says small banks were not the cause of the financial collapse, and need help in getting loans out to businesses that can make money. He also says he will remain in Washington until the Senate completes its work on the health care bill on Christmas eve. Transcript: THE PRESIDENT: All right, everybody. Well, it's good to see all of you. I just concluded a meeting with 12 regional community banks to have the same conversation that I had with some of the larger banks last week and that I've been having with CEOs of companies across the country over the last year, and that is how do we continue to consolidate the gains we've made over the course of this year in terms of economic recovery, but most importantly, how we move forward over the next year so that businesses are getting the capital that they need and that we are starting to see people hired again, people able to finance their homes, finance college educations and so forth. Community banks serve a vital function all across the country. They are folks who know their customers, don't just lend them money but also provide them advice if they're entrepreneurs and getting started. They are intimately woven into the fabric of the community. I think it's fair to say that most of these community banks were not engaged in some of the hugely risky activities that helped to precipitate the financial crisis. At the same time, they continue to try to do their best in their local and regional markets to make sure that businesses who are now being affected by the overall recession are able to pick themselves back up. What I did was to go around the room and to hear from each of them. Not all these communities are the same -- we've got everything from Kalamazoo to Harlem to small communities in Arkansas that focus mostly on farm loans. There were some general themes that were out there -- one, that there are businesses that are looking for loans out there that are

Senate Health Care Vote "Big Victory For American People"

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 15:41:00 GMT

Transcript: THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody. Good morning. Before I begin, I want to say a brief word about the historic vote which took place early this morning. The United States Senate knocked down a filibuster aimed at blocking a final vote on health care reform, and scored a big victory for the American people. By standing up to the special interests -- who've prevented reform for decades and who are furiously lobbying against it now -- the Senate has moved us closer to reform that makes a tremendous difference for families, for seniors, for businesses, and for the country as a whole.

AMA Endorses Senate Health Care Bill

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 21:52:02 GMT

The American Medical Association (AMA) threw its support behind the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” Monday. The AMA’s endorsement comes as somewhat of a surprise given the fact that the Senate bill, unlike a separate piece of legislation passed weeks ago in the House, does not address cuts to Medicare reimbursement rates.
