Health Bill Passes Key Test in the Senate With 60 Votes -- The roll was called shortly after 1 a.m., with Washington still snowbound after a weekend blizzard, and the Senate voted on party lines to cut off a Republican filibuster of a package of changes to the health care bill by the majority leader, Harry Reid of Nevada. The vote was 60 to 40 — a tally that is expected to be repeated four times as further procedural hurdles are cleared in the days ahead, and then once more in a dramatic, if predictable, finale tentatively scheduled for 7 p.m. on Christmas Eve.

China's Dumping Of The Dollar Has Begun -- For years the People's Republic has bought U.S. Treasuries, eventually becoming the largest holder of U.S. debt ($799 BILLION to be exact!).

'Gold at $ 2,000 becoming acceptable to investors' -- And yet more evidence of exploding investment demand for gold comes from the US Mint: it has periodically suspended the sale of 1 ounce Gold Eagles and the 1 ounce Silver Eagle as production cannot keep up with demand. The impact of mainstream money on gold will be profound, because the size of the gold and silver industry is so small. The total value of all the gold ever mined is estimated at just $ 5 trillion. Total 2008 gold production was valued at $ 73 billion. The market capitalization of all the world's gold producers is just equal to Wal-Mart and is less than Microsoft. The oil and gas industry is 12 times larger.
