BusinessMoney Minute: French Fries,Google, MortgagesMoney Minute: French Fries,Google, MortgagesThe Associated PressMcDonald's says its french fries are now trans-fat-free in all its restaurants in the United States and Canada. AP's Mark Hamrick reports on that and the rest of Thursday's top business headlines. (May 22)AP Money Minute---------------------Google co-founder Larry Page said the Internet search leader opposed a Microsoft-Yahoo deal because it would monopolize the online communications market, stifle innovation and curb competition.But Page discounted the idea that a deal between Google and Yahoo - one the two companies are now exploring - would present any potential antitrust problems. Microsoft had sought to buy Yahoo for $47.5 billion as a way to counter Google's dominance in the search and advertising market. That deal is currently dead, but the companies are exploring other options.---------------------McDonald's says its french fries are now trans-fat-free in all its restaurants in the United States and Canada. McDonald's dragged its heels in switching to a zero-trans-fat cooking oil out of worries it would compromise the taste of its trademark fries. McDonald's has been under increasing pressure from consumer advocates and public officials to make the change. The company says it's on schedule to convert to the new oil by year's end for its remaining baked items, pies and cookies.---------------------Rates on 30-year mortgages have dipped below 6 percent, falling to their lowest level in five weeks. Rates on 15-year fixed-rate mortgages also fell, dropping to 5.55 percent. The five-year adjustable-rate mortgage edged up slightly to five point six percent (5.61). One-year ARMs rose slightly to five and a quarter percent. (5.24) Analysts say longer-term rates dropped in response to reports showing continued weakness in the economy.

Educational video explaining the Constitutional and legal history of the US Dollar. This video contains many high resolution images showing many examples of all the the money the United States has produced since the very beginning. This is the thinking of the people who support a return to the Gold Standard, and rightful Constitutional money. I used nothing but established historical facts, and clear images of the money itself. This is what Ron Paul is talking about, and this is WHY we have the crisis we have now. Regardless of partisan politics, or economic philosophy, gold and silver money is the law. It's vitally important all Americans understand what exactly a dollar IS.

What's next? I'll tell you what's next...The housing bill. The government has come up with a great idea to solve the mortgage crisis.Wanna know what it is?They are going to take money from YOU, the responsible citizen and give it to irresponsible companies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In order to make them more successful. In order to make them more money.They are going to take money from YOU the responsible citizen and give it to irresponsible citizens and some non-citizens. Who took out mortgages to buy house they KNEW they couldn't afford.Are you freaking kidding me?! What kind of logic is this? How do you explain this to a kid these days, if you're his father? or if you're his freaking teacher? Ah. Miss Crabtree, how do I become a responsible citizen these days? Well Johnny, you go to work. You make money. You pay your bills. and you live within your means.Meanwhile Johnny goes home and sees his neighbor sitting on his lawn at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, drinking beer out of a freaking wine bottle. He's got a brand new car in the driveway and a beautiful wife upstairs.Now, Johnny knows that his father is working 2 jobs and not only to pay for his mortgage. But for his freaking neighbors mortgage too! And you expect Johnny to be a responsible citizen? Are you freaking kidding me?!!They shouldn't call this a housing bill. They should call it a degenerate bill. They should call it a freaking scumbag bill. Because that's what they're teaching kids to do with this bill. To not be responsible. To not pay you're bills. To not worry about anything. And when the freaking world comes crashing in on you. Don't worry! The government will be there to pick up the pieces.How will they pick up the pieces? By using the money of the person who was responsible. The guy who did the right thing. The guy who followed all the freaking rules!What a freaking country!!This is the way things have been going for the last 100 freaking years!I just have one question... When is it gonna freaking change?! When is it gonna change?!!!what's next! what's next!! what's next!!!
