House Republicans released their budget, known as The Ryan Plan. And it is a disaster for the middle class !

Just this morning, House Republicans released their budget, known as The Ryan Plan. And it is a disaster.

Named after House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, the GOP's "1%-First" budget attacks the federal workforce with cuts to pensions, pay freezes, and job cuts. In fact, it targets the entire middle class: It would destroy Medicare as we know it, ship jobs overseas, and force the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Homeland Security, and other agencies to slash the services that families rely on... all in order to provide tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.

Now here's the good news: Some pundits are already declaring this budget a major political error for the GOP. They're right. Americans hated last year's budget, and they'll hate this far more radical and anti-middle class sequel that much more. But it's up to us to prove it before the House marches forward.

Phones ringing off the hook will show the House GOP that the backlash has already started – can you help? Call your Representative at 1-866-220-0044 right now and tell them you reject the GOP budget.

Don't stay silent if you've got a Democratic representative, either. The big-bailout banks and deep-pocket donors on Wall Street will be twisting arms. Every single member of Congress needs to hear from you. Here's how:

* Call the Congressional Switchboard at 1-866-220-0044.
* Ask for your Representative in the House.
* Tell the staffer who answers that the Ryan Plan is budget anarchy that doesn't represent your values as an American and, as a constituent, you won't support anyone who votes for it.

The Ryan Budget proposes an unprecedented $368 billion in federal workforce cuts, including extending the current pay freeze for three more years, cutting federal pensions by $78 billion, and eliminating 10% of the federal workforce from agencies like the Social Security Administration and Environmental Protection Agency. And it will make the wealthy even more so by eliminating the Alternative Minimum Tax and lowering the corporate tax rate to 25% from 35%, half that of Reagan-era rates.

This budget is not who we are as a country. It's bad politics and even worse government. Americans care about our veterans, our children, and our elderly. We want our food and water to be clean, and our communities safe. The Ryan Plan ignores all of these values in order to deliver 10% tax breaks to the Wall Street millionaires and billionaires who line the pockets of Republican leaders.

It was only released today, so there's no better time to make sure your voice is heard. We've had some important victories this year, but this may turn out to be the most important fight yet.

In solidarity,

John Gage
AFGE National President

P.S. If you call and the phone lines are busy, call back. If you get this when your representative's office has already closed for the day, leave a message – then call back the next morning. This is the moment to pour the pressure on.

If history doesn’t repeat, but rather rhymes, as Mark Twain said... then we recognize some doggerel this morning in the latest news from the Persian Gulf.

“Iran has been systematically plundering large amounts of oil from southern Iraq for years,” according to a UPI story that cites a report from Stratfor, the U.S.-based private intelligence outfit.

Through a “complex oil smuggling network,” the Islamic Republic is able to pull in $20 million per day in oil revenue that short-circuits Western sanctions, the report claims.

If there’s something about this that sounds familiar, recall one of Saddam Hussein’s justifications for Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990 was Kuwait was stealing Iraq’s oil. The Kuwaitis, he said, resorted to “slant drilling,” whereby its wells entered the earth on Kuwaiti territory, but crossed the border underground.

“There’s an element of Iraqi propaganda here,” observes our Byron King — who takes note of every development that hinges on his New War scenario — “but I don’t doubt that Iran is somehow sucking Iraqi oil into is pipeline system.”

“I just saw another report,” says Vancouver favorite Doug Casey, “proclaiming that Iran is likely to attack the U.S., which is about as absurd as the allegations Bush made about Iraq bombing the U.S., when he fomented that invasion.”

Hmmm... Another rhyme.

“It’s starting to look rather serious at this point,” Mr. Casey continues, “so I do think the odds favor actual fighting in the not-too-distant future. We’re dealing with criminal personalities on both sides, and criminals are basically very stupid — meaning they have an unwitting tendency to self-destruction.”

Doug’s investment guidance for this scenario is similar to his guidance for other man-made disasters: gold and silver to safeguard your wealth, gold stocks if you’re feeling speculative. “And diversify your holdings internationally. You can never tell when the government of your home country will have a psychotic break.”

Aside from spelling out a war scenario, Byron King’s New War report also presents an investment strategy to help you protect and grow your portfolio during the tumult — starting with three market moves you can make right away. Here’s where to get started.

It's Not Too Late to Get Into This Huge 2012 Trade in Resource Stocks

By Matt Badiali, editor, S&A Resource Report Wednesday, February 8, 2012

It's not too late… but if you want to get on-board one of biggest money-making trades of 2012, you need to act soon. If you don't take action, you could miss out on 50%-100% gains this year. Over the past three months or so, my colleague Steve Sjuggerud and I have been writing about the "bad to less bad" opportunity setting up in natural resource stocks… the companies that mine things like copper, fertilizer, gold, silver, coal, and iron ore. Regular DailyWealth readers know this sector of the market is capable of experiencing huge booms and busts. Stay out of the busts, get in early on the booms, and you can easily make 50%-100% in a year with these companies. As I highlighted last month, resource stocks busted in 2011. They had enjoyed a big run higher in 2010. But when folks got scared of holding stocks and commodities last year (due to fears of the European debt crisis and the ripple effects it would have on the rest of the world), they dumped resource stocks… Major "trophy" stocks like Freeport-McMoRan (copper) and Vale (iron ore) lost 30%-50% of their values in just months. Smaller resource stocks lost even more. As Steve and I expected, resource stocks have put in a bottom… and have staged a big rally. For example, Freeport is up 26% since Steve ran this essay. While resource stocks are likely to take a short-term breather after this big surge, there's good reason to expect them to keep rising over the course of 2012. As my colleague Porter Stansberry recently noted, Europe is now printing money in order to stave off its debt crisis. The U.S. Federal Reserve has an ultra-stimulative interest rate policy in place right now. These efforts should "goose" the economy… which will drive up the prices of natural resources. That's a big tailwind for companies like Freeport. Since Freeport and its sector colleagues have climbed so much in such a short time, it's only reasonable to expect a small correction. That's just how the market works. When that correction arrives, use it as a buying opportunity… and let the coming natural resource "boom" do the rest. Good investing, Matt Badiali

Further Reading:

In addition to Freeport and Vale, Matt believes two other resource stocks are headed higher. "These are among the world's greatest 'boom and bust' sectors," he writes. And shares "have the potential to rally 50% or 100% in the coming year." Read more here: How to Risk a Little and Potentially Win A LOT in the Resource Market.

Gingrich under fire from conservative media

by Beth Fouhy

NEW YORK — Forget the so-called liberal media. Right now Newt Gingrich's most ardent critics are conservative pundits and columnists, many of whom have launched aggressive campaigns to discredit him and trip up his run for the Republican nomination.

This crew has largely been lukewarm about Gingrich's chief rival, Mitt Romney, considering him too moderate. But their open criticism of Gingrich is evidence that for all their misgivings about the former Massachusetts governor, they see him as a much stronger contender against President Barack Obama.
To hear columnists Ann Coulter and Charles Krauthammer and the conservative media aggregator Matt Drudge tell it, Gingrich is an inconsistent conservative who didn't fully support President Ronald Reagan and whose undisciplined nature mirrored that of President Bill Clinton, who was Gingrich's Democratic adversary in the 1990s.
The conservative media hits against Gingrich have come with force just as the GOP establishment seems to be rallying around Romney in earnest, perhaps out of fear that Gingrich may end up winning the nomination.
On Thursday, Romney's campaign released a scathing open letter from the 1996 Republican presidential nominee, Bob Dole, who served as Senate Republican leader when Gingrich presided over the House. In the letter, Dole glowingly endorses Romney and repudiates Gingrich.
"If Gingrich is the nominee it will have an adverse impact on Republican candidates running for county, state, and federal offices," Dole wrote. "Hardly anyone who served with Newt in Congress has endorsed him and that fact speaks for itself. He was a one-man-band who rarely took advice. It was his way or the highway."
Jacob Heilbrunn, in the conservative-leaning magazine The National Interest, mused that Gingrich "is essentially bragging that his prime credential to become president is that he's willing to debate for hours and bring a knuckle-duster. This is evidence of his sober judgment? This is supposed to induce swing voters to back him?"
Conservative radio titan Rush Limbaugh also weighed in, seemingly to defend Gingrich from some of the attacks. But, in doing so, he also vividly outlined many of the critiques against Gingrich from other conservatives.
Conservatives "are raising questions here about Newt and his mendacity, his forthrightness — it's incredible," Limbaugh marveled on his show Thursday.
Gingrich stormed to a decisive win over Romney in the South Carolina primary last week fueled in part by two well-timed attacks on the news media. Both came during nationally televised debates, guaranteeing maximum exposure.
In a CNN debate, Gingrich pushed back at anchor John King when King questioned him about an interview Gingrich's second wife, Marianne, had given ABC News. In the interview, Marianne Gingrich suggested her husband had asked her for an open marriage so he could carry on with a mistress, Callista Bisek, now his third wife.
"I think the destructive, vicious, negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country, harder to attract decent people to run for public office. And I am appalled that you would begin a presidential debate on a topic like that," Gingrich said. "I am tired of the elite media protecting Barack Obama by attacking Republicans."
The audience rose in a standing ovation.
Gingrich also told King that his campaign had given ABC News the names of friends who would vouch for him but that the network had rejected the offer. On Wednesday, a Gingrich spokesman acknowledged that the claim was a mistake and that the campaign had offered only Gingrich's two adult daughters to defend him.
Gingrich drew raves at another Fox News debate before the South Carolina primary when asked about his oft-stated assertion that Obama is a "food stamp president." He angrily denied the statement had anything to do with race.
Mark Jurkowitz of the Pew Center for Excellence in Journalism said Gingrich had tapped into longstanding resentment of many conservatives against mainstream news outlets.
"Running against the elite media — we've seen now for a good 30 years — certainly has resonance among Republican base voters. In conservative circles, there's been the perception that the media are tilted against them," Jurkowitz said.
Brent Bozell, founder of the conservative Media Research Center, announced Thursday that his group was set to spend $5 million on an advertising campaign to expose media bias in the 2012 election.
"You have a left-leaning media that's out of control. You've got to corral them," Bozell said in a news briefing, promising radio ads, billboards and an "unprecedented" effort in social media outlets like Twitter and Facebook.
Gingrich, for his part, promised in his South Carolina victory speech to keep up his attacks on the media. But the hits he took this week while campaigning in Florida came from other conservatives.
By Thursday, Gingrich was disparaging the Commission on Presidential Debates, suggesting he might not participate in debates the commission organizes if he becomes the Republican nominee.
"We've had enough of newsmen deciding what the topics would be," Gingrich told supporters in Jacksonville, many of whom waved "Don't Believe the Liberal Media" signs.
Later, Gingrich was asked about the attacks from conservative pundits, particularly from the American Spectator's Emmett Tyrell, who wrote that Gingrich has had "private encounters with the fair sex that doubtless will come out."
Gingrich tried to turn such criticisms to his advantage, suggesting they represent "establishment" thinking.
"Tyrrell has to write whatever Tyrrell wants to write," Gingrich said. "There's the Washington establishment sitting around in a frenzy, having coffee, lunch and cocktail hour talking about, `How do we stop Gingrich?'"
While Gingrich relishes bashing the media "elite" in public, he is friendly with the reporters who cover his campaign and makes himself available for media questions daily on the campaign trail. He seems to relish the back-and-forth with journalists, sometimes labeling questions he dislikes "bizarre."
At a campaign stop in South Carolina, he wished a reporter covering his campaign a happy birthday, and he typically stops by to chat with reporters at dinner after a day of campaigning.
