Thats logical but in reality, by the time you finished saying to yourself "what the fu--? is going on" you would have hit something

Actually if we're talking about loonie-tunes, you'd have to be one to think any kind of tax that actually makes sense will replace the current code (not you personally).

what an idiot, the code section was written by Congress, yet he crashes into an IRS building. Stupidity of the public indeed.

Its a great idea but like you said, almost impossible to implement here...its easier to spread the pain across the entire population, than just the group who doesn't belong in college to begin with. Also, I'm not big on regulations, but these schools shouldn't even allowed to offer half of...

No, its not a conspiracy, because it is creating a problem that could eventually be strong enough to overthrow the government....You think people will complain less when their standard of living drops due to low wages and high debt? Its simple. Government offers too many loans to whoever...

If more Obama supporters were literate and could afford to operate a computer, this group would be much, much larger.

Does it matter though? Serious question. If the market rallies on bad unemployment with little chance of improvement, would black friday sales- which are hard to quantify to begin with, make a difference? I'm sure theres some BS reason for a rally, or no reason such as excess liquidity...
