"America" is an American political advertisement released by the 2016 presidential campaign of Bernie Sanders. It premiered on January 21, 2016 via YouTube, and to air on television in Iowa and New Hampshire shortly before the Democratic Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary.
The advertisement features "America," a song recorded by Simon & Garfunkel for their album Bookends (1968).
The ad starts with scenes of everyday American life over soft humming and gentle guitar strumming. As the line, "let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together" plays in the background, a middle-aged couple dances at a small Bernie Sanders for President rally. Then Sanders is seen speaking to a few people in a backyard. As the ad continues, the crowds grow larger and more enthusiastic. A montage of many Sanders supporters appear, as the words "They've all come to look for America" flash on the screen. Sanders is then seen addressing a large outdoor gathering, interacting one-on-one with supporters, appearing before more energetic crowds, finally ending in a large auditorium filled to capacity with cheering people.

Puerto Rico (English /ˌpɔːrtə ˈriːkoʊ/ or /ˌpwɛərtə ˈriːkoʊ/;Spanish: [ˈpweɾto ˈriko], locally also [ˈpwelto ˈχiko; ˈʀ̥iko]), officially the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (Spanish: Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico, literally the "Free Associated State of Puerto Rico"), is a United States territory located in the northeastern Caribbean. Puerto Rico is an archipelago that includes the main island of Puerto Rico and a number of smaller islands. The capital and largest city is San Juan. The territory does not observe daylight saving time, and its official languages are Spanish, which is predominant, and English. The island's population is approximately 3.4 million.
Puerto Rico's rich history, tropical climate, diverse natural scenery, renowned traditional cuisine and attractive tax incentives make it a popular destination for visitors from around the world. Its location in the Caribbean, combined with centuries of colonization and subsequent migration, has made Puerto Rican culture a distinct melting pot of Amerindian, Spanish, African, and North American influences.
China, officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is a sovereign state in East Asia. It is the world's most populous country, with a population of over 1.35 billion. The PRC is a one-party state governed by the Communist Party, with its seat of government in the capital city of Beijing. It exercises jurisdiction over 22 provinces; five autonomous regions; four direct-controlled municipalities (Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Chongqing); two mostly self-governing special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau); and claims sovereignty over Taiwan.
Covering approximately 9.6 million square kilometers, China is the world's second-largest country by land area, and either the third or fourth-largest by total area, depending on the method of measurement. China's landscape is vast and diverse, ranging from forest steppes and the Gobi and Taklamakan deserts in the arid north to subtropical forests in the wetter south. The Himalaya, Karakoram, Pamir and Tian Shan mountain ranges separate China from South and Central Asia. The Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, the third- and sixth-longest in the world, run from the Tibetan Plateau to the densely populated eastern seaboard. China's coastline along the Pacific Ocean is 14,500 kilometres (9,000 mi) long, and is bounded by the Bohai, Yellow, East and South China Seas.
New York is a state in the Northeastern United States and is the United States' 27th-most extensive, fourth-most populous, and seventh-most densely populated state. New York is bordered by New Jersey and Pennsylvania to the south and Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont to the east. The state has a maritime border in the Atlantic Ocean with Rhode Island, east of Long Island, as well as an international border with the Canadian provinces of Quebec to the north and Ontario to the west and north. The state of New York, with an estimated 19.8 million residents in 2015, is often referred to as New York State to distinguish it from New York City, the state's most populous city and its economic hub.
With an estimated population of nearly 8.5 million in 2014, New York City is the most populous city in the United States and the premier gateway for legal immigration to the United States. The New York City Metropolitan Area is one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world. New York City is a global city, exerting a significant impact upon commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment, its fast pace defining the term New York minute. The home of the United Nations Headquarters, New York City is an important center for international diplomacy and has been described as the cultural and financial capital of the world, as well as the world's most economically powerful city. New York City makes up over 40% of the population of New York State. Two-thirds of the state's population lives in the New York City Metropolitan Area, and nearly 40% live on Long Island. Both the state and New York City were named for the 17th century Duke of York, future King James II of England. The next four most populous cities in the state are Buffalo, Rochester, Yonkers, and Syracuse, while the state capital is Albany.

China owes the United States nearly ONE TRILLION DOLLARS from bonds they sold to U.S. citizens and banks, decades ago! It's time for the President and Congress to demand for a settlement with China the same way the British did years ago. Sovereign debt is never forgiven despite a shift in politics or governments. Please forward this to friends and family. A U.S. stimulus would occur in taxes and with new capital that leads to a wonderful 'multiplier effect.'
China has a dirty little secret they don't want anyone to know about. It's this: China owes the United States more money than we owe them. But for political reasons, both governments are ignoring the 100 ton elephant in the room--or shall we say dragon in the room? Most people are aware of China recently surpassing the United States as the world's largest economy, owning a major portion of the US national debt, and the trade surplus it enjoys with America. But what most people don’t know is China owes Americans hundreds of billions of dollars in bond payments! Some brief history: It was American citizens and the US government who made possible China’s recent rise to power with its growing economic and military influence, by buying Chinese government-issued bonds to develop China’s infra...

Economist Dan Mitchell joins Jeff Deist to discuss what might be the biggest threat of all to American prosperity: the shocking and unconscionable US government debt. What does $20 trillion in Treasury IOUs really mean for the private economy? Will the US government ever default and force bond holders to take a well-deserved haircut—or will the Fed continue to bail out Congress with low interest rates? Can this go on indefinitely, especially since other governments often have even worse fiscal and monetary policies? This is a sobering discussion of a reality politicians don't want to face.
July 28 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Treasury will give priority to making interest payments to holders of government bonds when due if lawmakers fail to reach an agreement to raise the debt ceiling, according to an administration official. Bloomberg's Peter Cook reports. Cook speaks with Carol Massar and Matt Miller on Bloomberg Television's "Street Smart." (Source: Bloomberg)
A huge batch of fake US Treasury bonds worth some $6 trillion -- more than a third of the US national debt -- has been seized by Italian police. Eight Italians have been arrested and accused of a large-scale international fraud. The fake bonds and other securities were seized from a Swiss trust company during a joint operation by Italian, Swiss, and US authorities. The fake certificates signed "Chicago, Illinois, Federal Reserve Bank" were stored in trunks stamped with "Federal Reserve System, Treaty of Versailles" marks. The bonds were carrying the false date of issue of 1934. The forgers were planning to use the fake certificates as collateral to secure loans in a number of Swiss banks, prosecutor of the southern Italian city of Potenza said as cited by Reuters. The investigation began o...

http://www.NewWaveSlave.com - Meredith Whitney discusses her now famous call on municipal defaults in 2011. Whitney expects 50-100 municipal defaults and says there is a total of $3trillion in total Muni debt. The end of "Buy America Bonds" & stimulus money will force municipalities to collapse/merge in order to protect the state. Meredith Whitney states that it isn't the severity, but the frequency of defaults which will lead to indiscriminate selling. Favorite quote: politicians will have to answer the question of whether to default to bond holders or their constituents. (great question!) Enjoy the video! NewWaveSlave.com

Mike Mayo raises fresh questions about a critical $8.5 billion mortgage settlement. NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Bank of America (BAC) is somewhere between $16 and $22 billion short on its reserves for mortgage backed securities (MBS) litigation, according to legal and accounting experts hosted on a recent conference call by CLSA analyst Mike Mayo. At issue is a proposed $8.5 billion settlement between the bank and 22 institutions, including Goldman Sachs (GS), BlackRock (BLK) and PIMCO over claims on $108 billion in mortgage backed securities. The eight-cents-on-the-dollar deal faces objections from AIG (AIG), three Federal Home Loan Banks and States Attorneys General of New York and Delaware. The $8.5 billion figure is the work of RRMS, a three-person consulting firm in Midtown Man...

BACKGROUND:Action Alerts From 1900 to 1940, the Chinese Government issued millions of dollars in sovereign debt -- most notably, a large tranche of £25,000,000 issued at 5% in 1913 set to mature in 1960. This massive bond funded the modernization of China's infrastructure and was widely acquired at the time by governments, banks, and investors across the globe.

Another day and we are all faced with yet another headline covering the US debt crisis and its latest drama between the Robin Hood-like Democrats and the Mr. Burns-like Republicans. And while the default clock keeps ticking, one wonders, whether US leaders actually want to avoid a default? Seemingly not! But why would anyone in their right mind voluntarily choose to bear the pains of bankruptcy? Maybe, the near 1.5 million US citizens that yearly file for personal bankruptcy could share some of their post-bankrupt experience with their leaders. The official excuse for them having gone belly up has been the rising jobless rate and level of consumer debt. Not looking too bright for the US with Great Depression 2.0 lurking around the corner. The only three options discussed by US le...

Follow us @ http://twitter.com/laurenlyster http://twitter.com/coveringdelta Welcome to Capital Account. US unemployment, which remains unchanged at 8.3 percent, is being touted as "sturdy" by the mainstream media. Yet more than half of those jobs are deemed "low paying work" by analysts, and more than half of professional services jobs added are "temporary." Analyst david Ader of CRT quoted by ZeroHedge notes that about 160 thousand of those private sector jobs are low paying work. And per the BLS, of the 82,000 professional and business services jobs added, more than half - 45,000 - were temporary. Is this so--called recovery built on McDonald's big mac's and piecemeal work?

This podcast episode was originally posted on August 15, 2014. The original show notes follow. In this episode, James Caton discusses the classical and inter-war gold standards. James is an economics PhD student at George Mason University. Gold has many qualities that make it an ideal money: It is valuable, scarce, divisible, and easy to transport. It is also easy to verify the value of a given amount of gold: The Old Testament references weights and scales being used to measure gold. Ancient people could verify the purity of the gold by observing its water displacement. Before 1870, only Great Britain was on a gold standard, while gold, silver, and other metals would circulate freely alongside one another throughout the rest of Europe. The classical gold standard began in the wake of t...

During the 1990s, Argentina had been the poster child for Neoliberal policies—they adopted virtually the whole of the so-called “Washington Consensus” agenda lock-stock-and-barrel. They even adopted a currency board. And unlike Euroland (which also adopted something like a currency board as each member adopted a foreign currency—the euro), Argentina would have consistently met the tight Maastricht criteria on budget deficits and debts over that period. The main purpose of the austere budgets and currency board constraints was to kill high inflation. It worked. But, over that period unemployment grew and GDP growth was moderate. And because the peg was sold to the Argentinean public as “inviolable” it created great incentives to accumulate a lot of foreign debt, particularly dollar denomin...

Recording of the online seminar held on the 25th of January 2017, organised by the Florence School of Banking and Finance. Speakers: Mitu Gulati (Professor of Law at Duke University) Jeromin Zettelmeyer (Senior Fellow at the Peterson Institute of International Economics) Moderator: Pierre Schlosser (Florence School of Banking and Finance) An age-old question in international finance and law, dating back at least to the days of the Czar is: what happens when a country leadership chooses to favor the interests of foreign bondholders over those of its local population, using despotic means? Does the local population, after the leadership has been removed, have to continue paying these “odious” debts? Today, the question is being posed to the international community, front and center, in th...
