You confirm my signature tag line.

Aye and you confirm my suspicions regarding your dubious mentality with every post

No one is, But you keep putting Bush and Obama in this... , Who's Right, Who's Left, Who Democrat, Who's Republican, Who's Liberal, Who's Conservative, Who's Christian, Who's Non Christian. Non of that Crap matters, I've shown you guys this pre election discussion and you keep coming back to same crap, over and over and over again....like a car stuck in the mud, you try first gear, if that doesn't work, then your try second, if not then you run through that same gauntlet again instead of get out of the car and seeking help. Our Political system is shot, there are no longer check and balances, because the check and balances lie in the people who are overwhelmed with BS everyday by an information system(The Media) that is owned and operated By the same people who own and operate YOU ( Foreign Bankers) Presidential powers are nothing in comparison to these Capitalistic Banks, the Banking System is a Global Regime. Their Method of operation is loan sharking, For every 1 dollar they have on the books, they are allowed to loan 9. Wall Street needs to be seized for Creating, Harboring and Abetting Domestic Terrorist.

But you know what, it's all Futile , because we live in houses we can't afford, we drives cars we can't afford(which loose about 20 percent it's value the first day you take ownership what a great investment) we live off of other peoples money(credit) I hope the capitalist don't see that, they might call that a socialistic statement, living off of other peoples money. We live to please others, " Neighbor, my Son went to YALE and we ate Biscuits and drank water to get him there, But the funny thing is, after all that time and money spend he still can't get a job, But hey he's a Yale grad. We need the realize we are all in this together, when one fail we all fail.

You are talking about the Melliniam generation. Instant gratification is all that matters. The older generation (baby boomers) have worked very hard for the money they earned just to see it wiped out because of these politically correct a-holes. I am fed up with all the crap that is being spewed by politicians regardless of what party affiliations they fall under. They all lie and say what ever is required to get elected. I feel the federal government should be abolished as I think we would all be better off with out it.

And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, and PARSIN. This is the interpretation of the matter: MENE, God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end; TEKEL, you have been weighed on the scales and found wanting; PERES, your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians

See all those years of Republican fiscal policy finally took hold and resulted in a surplus while Clinton was in office. Then his disastrous policies caused a huge loss and decline that we are still trying to dig out of today.

We'll be seeing the Bush uptick pretty soon, which Obama will ride out until he leaves office and things go to he!! when the next Republican comes into office and has to cope with the damage that Obama will do squandering away the Bush surplus.

See, it's a cyclic thing.

Interesting graph. Let's see. Congress controls the budget. Liberals controlled Congress for the past 50 years or so with one exception: the 104th and 105th Congress of 1994 through 2000. Where does that fit in that graph? What is the trend during those years? Hmmmm..........

Bill: What's wrong? You are proving my point that fiscal conservatism is good for the country. Are you feeling OK? Are you shaking off that mental disorder?

your a boater, you should know better, WAKE: 1. The visible track of turbulence left by something moving through water.

2. A track, course, or condition left behind something that has passed

I suggest the falling DOW is more of a BOW WAVE. If you've ever near a REAL boat that is in displacement mode, you definitely now what THAT is!

My Solution, Bring all the troops home from abroad, give Guantanamo back to Cuba, Lock down our boarders, kick all the non documented out and the documented and illegal criminals out( we have enough of our own citizen criminals), all the non working illegals out, fortify or Nukes and say F the world take care of your own sh**! Remove all politicians, ALL leave non standing... and start anew.

Reviving this Old Thread

With a newer topic.

Seems the (Very Left-Wing) New York Times predicted the Fannie Mae fallout back in 1999. Seems like the Clinton Administration was pushing them to make subprime loans available to those who couldn't afford them.

"One of the methods used by statists to destroy capitalism consists in establishing controls that tie a given industry hand and foot, making it unable to solve its problems, then declaring that freedom has failed and stronger controls are necessary."
—Ayn Rand, 1975

These words were written more than 30 years ago, but they apply exactly to today’s financial crisis. Today’s problems are the result of a government-controlled financial and housing system that rewarded irrational behavior and punished responsible behavior. Yet they are being blamed on “the free market”—with more controls offered as the solution.

When I was in college back in the late 70's my economics professor could not stress enough that there is "no free lunch". Everything comes at a cost ... the only variables are WHO pays and WHEN.

[Dr. Jet]

... the only variables are WHO pays and WHEN.

Well, it looks like WHO is going to be you and I; and WHEN is going to be now.

Dr. Jet it has always been you and I ... the silent majority. The politicians are immune, the corporations have lobbyists, the rich have tax shelters, and the welfare folks just sit back and collect. We the hard working middle class pay for all the malarkey that these folks initiate.

I'm tired of being silent! Let's dress up as Indians and start throwing that tea overboard.

When I went to Wales, all they talked about was racism in America, all the time the Scotts, Welsh and Britts were all talking trash behind each others back. It was funny to listen to.

Mexico is re-taking over America, that's the real news.

Mexicans taking over America? actually the Mexicans once had claim to America as Indians and then before them Eskimos then before them as Asians (actually Mongolian and Russian Asians, because India is also in Asia) before them all via the Bering Straits. Seems like it's coming full circle to me.
