The quarrel over the jobs bill gets under way…

Dees Stribling’s Economy Watch Podcast for the week ending on 9/9.

A look at the job market, housing prices and Hurricane Irene damage.

Is another recession a ‘coin toss’? Dees Stribling offers a look at economic news from the week ending 8/26, including: news about the Jackson Hole Symposium, the non-partisan congressional budget office, Fannie Mae and mortgage delinquencies.

What a long, strange week it’s been. For the week ending August 12, the Dow had four consecutive 400-point swings; the national median (existing) single-family home price was down 2.8 percent from the second quarter of 2010; and the government has proposed to sell thousands of foreclosed properties that Fannie, Freddie and the FHA now own, for conversion into rental properties.

For the week ending August 5, Congress managed to raise the debt ceiling at the last minute, while handing off tough budget decisions to a congressional bipartisan Super Committee; Wall Street goes into a free-falling panic, presumably over euro debt; and the jobs report isn’t as bad as expected.
