Washingtonâ??s Blog strives to provide real-time, well-researched and actionable information.

We at Washingtonâ??s Blog have an insatiable curiosity for new discoveries, new information and new insights.

Despite our passion for whatâ??s new, there are themes that we keep reporting on year after year, as they reflect a bigger picture which remains fairly constant, or the root causes of our problems which have still not been addressed, or potentially powerful solutions which have still never been tried.

For example, we note again and again that government leaders are doing all of the wrong things for the economy, and that the economy cannot fundamentally stabilize â?? and we cannot regain prosperity â?? unless:

• The widespread fraud as a business model by the biggest Wall Street players is prosecuted
• The giant but insolvent banks are broken up
• Government policies stop making the rich richer and everyone else poorer
• Government stops encouraging insane levels of leverage
• Governments stop trying to prop up unsustainable levels of debt to protect bondholders, and start forcing a debt â??jubileeâ?
• The endless wars are stopped (contrary to  widespread myth, war greatly weakens our economy)
