The most transparent administration evah continues to be, well, as clear as mud.
Rep. Charles Rangel reportedly has struck a deal with the congressional panel investigating alleged ethics violations.

"We have the deepest and most liquid markets for risk-free assets in the world. We're committed to bring our fiscal deficits down over time to a sustainable level.
