Mitt Romney's $10,000 Bet at GOP Debate (for 12/10/11)

Who has $10,000 that they could just casually throw away as if it were nothing? Apparently former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, the favorite for the GOP Presidential nomination, does. Romney did this by making a bet over his standing on his Massachusetts healthcare mandate with Rick Perry in the GOP Presidential debate in Iowa.

Mortgage Lender Ends Most Lending in Mass. After Lawsuit (for 12/3/11)

What happens when a bunch of mortgage lenders get sued by a State Attorney General? One of them ends lending in that state. That is what happened in Massachusetts when Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley sued five major banks for fraud and wrongful foreclosures. GMAC Mortgage, the nation's fifth biggest lender, ended most of its lending in Massachusetts as a result.
