galleon Hedge Fund billionaire Raj Rajaratnam Found Guilty in Insider Trade Case
Raj Rajaratnam made a good amount of money in the stock game but further investigation showed that he was using inside information to gain his success.
This article makes you wonder if any one is free from the reprecussions of greed because according in attorney Preet Bharara he was a good man before he became a billionaire.
Ban Ki-moon calls for Libya cease-fire as NATO assault intesifies.

Obama Seeks to Reshape Debate Over Debt
Obama has thought of a 4 part plan to reduce the nations deficit. He plans to make a speech on his plan today the major points being that in the next 12 years we will make a 4 trillion reduction in the deficit.
Our nations debt problems have been an important issue for the politicians yet no one can agree on what to do about it. You can either raise taxes or cut a bunch of important things that other don't really think are important. It's a lose lose situation which I hope Obama has made headway in resolving.
