barbara g. fleischman. and by our sole corporate sponsor, mutual of america, designing customized individual and group retirement products. that's why we're your retirement company. >> welcome. my guest, martin wolf, says the us debt ceiling is the legislative equivalent of a nuclear bomb that america has aimed at itself. and because congress refused to permanently defuse it this week, the threat remains and could still detonate early next year. take this flashing red alert seriously, because it comes from a man who has been called "the premier financial and economics writer in the world." martin wolf is the chief economics commentator for the influential financial times, and he is read by just about anyone who is someone in the stratosphere of high finance. but he plays no favorites, and confronts the private sector with its failures of principle and mission just as quickly as he does government. his opinions are known to make the mighty listen, and sometimes tremble. martin wolf, welcome. >> thank you ver

"uncle scam," the headline shouted. "u.s. robs bank of $13 billion." say what? that, my friends, is pure whitewash, and murdoch's minions know it. that $13 billion is the settlement the country's biggest bank is negotiating with the government to settle its own rip-off of american home owners and investors -- those shady practices that five years ago helped trigger the financial meltdown, including manipulating mortgages and sending millions of americans into bankruptcy or foreclosure. and this isn't the only s
