printmoneyalot asked: King: could you comment on what David Stockman is saying about the capital gains rate in this article. It sounds like it entourages too much speculation and buyouts and not enough investment. Thanks.

What questions would you ask Bernanke? #kbrs
So what would you ask him? I would ask, how about a do-over for Bear Stearns? Want one?
From NARNfan: You have taken credit for pumping the stock market up. Why not take some credit for global commodity price increases?
From NARNfan: Why should anything be Too Big To Fail?

On the show today
#kbrs We had to tape today because I had to go to a veterans welcome home event this morning. We talk about the economy this week and whether the Japan natural disaster will have any lasting effects on the world economy. And a brief detour to Radiohead. All that starting at 9am this morning on Business 1570.

First up today on #kbrs
…downward revisions to Q4 GDP, a bad durable goods report and single family home sales down too. What’s happening here? Where did our recovery go?
After that, a reader question about debt limits and the hi-jinx in DC. That should get us going. Shorter show today, so tune in on Business1570 right away beginning in 15 minutes!

This week on #kbrs
We will first take on the data this week, which has an interesting story to tell as we come to grips with the fact that unemployment rate two weeks ago looks more and more like the exception. Since our listeners care about macro policy, we’ll take this article apart. More as I find it. Please call us at 651-289-4477, and of course listen to the live stream of Business1570 KYCR.

Tomorrow on #KBRS...
We read my favorite labor report, discuss the Obama Administration’s plan to shutter Fannie and Freddie, another Bernanke testimony, and Jeff Jacoby channels my show from two weeks ago. We’ll touch on Egypt and how we might have guessed it coming, recalling my discussion earlier of how these things tip quickly once a spark is struck.

John Mauldin writes a weekly newsletter you can get for free, and I strongly recommend it. He is always interesting. This week among other things he points us to a speech from Wednesday by Dallas Fed president Richard Fisher. He says

#kbrs David Rosenberg, who was one of the analysts out in front of the recession in 2007 and has been fairly bearish medium-term, is asking what it would take for him to become bullish on America. Click the title for his ideas. There is a lot to this list — and it will be a topic for next week’s show. Comments are turned on for this post, so you can add things here about this topic,...

Tomorrow on the show
It was a fairly light week for economic news, so we’ll tidy that up quickly before moving on to other items, including bizarre taxes, and why has job growth been so anemic this decade? Why can migrants find jobs in a down economy? Listen in on Business 1570 at 9-11am Saturdays!
