    Presidential Inaguration, a waste of money

    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081206050617AAcUNdK The inauguration is mostly paid for by private donors, the Committee to Elect the President, etc. Taxpayers do foot the bill for the cost of security from the Secret Service and so on. -v

    The circular firing squad starting early

    Did you not say something around the time of the bailout that it was a relatively cheap protection for banks that were inadequately protected under FDIC? (edit- this is what I mean) http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=137818&pagenumber=1 -v

    Official Debate Thread

    I thought Obama did very well as usual. One question he didn't quite answer to my satisfaction. He said his only connection with ACORN was when he represented them. What about the 800k contribution to an organization connected with them? His campaign initially said it was for lighting...

    fed is in a box

    It amazes me that Greenie and Bernanke are not themselves considered inflators, and that bond yields remain so low in spite of inflation in prices of food, energy, healthcare, etc. If the usual answer is given about China, etc buying so many bonds, has that decoupled inflation from bond...
