In the wake of a stunning political result in Massachusetts, it’s time to assess the future Scott Brown dictates for health care, the market, the Democrats, and the country. It’s the third week of January 2010, and here’s the latest

For the past year, Francis Cianfrocca and Ben Domenech sat down every weekday morning to chat about politics, economics and the shifting global marketplace. For 2010, we’ll shift to recording once a week. We hope you don’t mind, and we’ll

Muscling through a rough cold, Francis shares his thoughts on an interesting piece on the Too Big to Fail concept in the latest issue of National Affairs on today’s edition of Coffee and Markets, a daily podcast from The New

Ben Bernanke is Time’s person of the year, Howard Dean takes up arms against the Senate health care bill, and Megan McArdle says we all have a moral obligation to pay our mortgages, whether it makes financial sense or not.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the past few years, it’s that we should never doubt the abilities of Joe Lieberman to get what he wants, and the willingness of Harry Reid to cave in the clutch. We’ll discuss

President Obama says he’s going to have a “serious talk” with bankers today to pressure them to provide more credit. Why? Well, because if you’re upside down on your house and want to take advantage of low rates, your bank

So let’s say you’re stuck in a house that the bank says is worth half a million, but the market says it’s worth only a quarter of that. What if it turned out you could walk away from it and

So before jetting off to accept his Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, President Obama went on a sales run for his jobs package idea — and he came back empty handed. Why do the left and the right both hate

President Obama wants to expand TARP to cover stimulus spending, handing out cash to small businesses to offset the egregious economic policies he’s adopted (and in the case of health care, plans to adopt) damaging their ability to hire anyone.

As the Senate considers a health care bill that amounts to the largest entitlement expansion in American history, we sit down today with health care and budget policy expert James Capretta to discuss the prospects in the Senate and the

So the President holds a jobs summit, but doesn’t invite the biggest actual producers of jobs — instead stacking the deck with people who believe there just hasn’t been enough government reallocation of taxpayer money. We’ll talk about the summit

So he came in as a great recruiter, a great builder, a new innovator, already with the rings on his finger, the prizes around his neck, and he was going to make everything better — but then he started losing

What if a future President wants to go to war or ship more troops overseas to protect American interests, but can’t because China won’t let him? Could this actually happen? We’ll discuss the dangerous foreign policy ramifications of America’s current

So, how was Black Friday for you? For retailers, it was a time to go looking for small reasons for optimism, but the comparison to 2008 is essentially flat. How will the markets react, and what’s the deal with Dubai?

News from Dubai is rocking and rolling world markets today, as an $80 billion default could spawn a broad wave of activity and expose the tenuous status of the banking system. We’re talking global markets on the Black Friday edition

How much do we really owe to China? Will America’s exploding debt hamper the US economy for decades to come? Is there any path out of this? We discuss all this and more on today’s Coffee and Markets, a daily

Black Friday predictions run from pessimistic to disastrous, negative interest rates worry the markets, and the New York Times makes ridiculous claims about the success of the stimulus. We discuss all this and more on today’s Coffee and Markets, a

Negative interest rates finally materialize, Tim Geithner falls on his face at Congress, and the House moves forward with their policy of gutting the authority of the Federal Reserve. That’s three big stories to talk about on today’s Coffee and
