Obama Care Takes a Hit
President Obama's much-criticized healthcare plan was dealt a blow on Friday when the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court's ruling that the provision mandating all Americans buy health insurance is unconstitutional. The ruling sets up a likely showdown over the bill at the Supreme Court next year as Obama is immersed in a battle to win re-election.

Donald Trump Announces He Won't Run for
President
Donald Trump announced on Monday that he will not run for president in 2012 after generating a media frenzy several weeks ago when he indicated that he might. With typical Trump confidence, Trump maintained that he could have won the Republican primary and then defeated incumbent President Barack Obama, but decided that “running for public office cannot be done half-heartedly.”

Goldman Analyst Says GOP Budget Cuts Could Lead to
Double-Dip
Goldman Sachs economist Alec Phillips has warned that the Republican's plan to cut government spending by $61 billion in 2011 could lead to a slowdown in US economic growth in the second and third quarters. The comments were in a letter which Democrats are using to validate their argument in the ongoing budget battle that the GOP plan would do damage to the nation's fragile economy.

House Passes Spending Bill
By Mike Goldman
House Passes Spending Bill
The US House of Representatives passed a bill proposing a series of spending cuts through the first nine months of 2011 over the weekend, a bill that is likely to be shot down in the Democrat-controlled Senate. The Republican-sponsored bill is viewed as a challenge to President Obama to see how serious he is about reducing record-high budget deficits. The bill also brings in the possibility of a government shutdown if a compromise is not found by the time currently mandated funding legislation expires on March 4th.
