What I'd call "pathological" is a Canadian who makes thousands of posts on a trading message board on the subject of American politics. Of course he uses the tired old saw that as a Canadian he has a self interest in America because our economies are linked and that America wags the dog etc...

Here's some other results from Pew: "Several of them stand out: Married people are happier than unmarrieds. People who worship frequently are happier than those who don't. Republicans are happier than Democrats. Rich people are happier than poor people. Whites and Hispanics are happier than...

What kind of "reform" are you talking about? Then, show us the legislation and the breakdown on votes.

You and I are probably the only 2 people on Earth who think he's an idiot. The scary part of this story isn't GOP Congressmen being uninformed-and if they are one can only imagine how out to lunch the stupid black and Hispanic Democrat's are-but it's troubling if those Republican's think they...

It's not a matter if I or you will become wealthy, it's a matter of respecting other peoples things.. There's laws prohibiting certain behaviors and there are taxes. If someone jumped through those hurdles-despite how undeserving they may be-well they won the lottery and I didn't. So be it. And...

I know NBA players living in 5 million dollar homes with a million in cars. Are they rich? And even if by your definition they are, why should I care? The team of assembly workers building their Escalade shouldn't have the work? The guys putting in their marble bath, cleaning their pool or...

The vast, vast majority of ultra rich are only rich on paper, vis a vis the stock market capitalization of corporations they control. Google by itself has produced 3 of the 40 wealthiest Americans. Until a shareholder sells his shares, the Treasury sees nada. That's why statist, socialists are...

I'm not saying any of this activity is clandestine. But I am saying it's manipulative. And I will look up the thread you're speaking of. Don't misconstrue; I think you're a brilliant guy and one of only a dozen or so participants here worth listening to.

Pretty convincing evidence. http://seekingalpha.com/article/156904-the-fed-already-buys-back-last-week-s-treasury-notes And then there's this admission by then Chairman Greenspan on Nov. 13, 2003: "There is an implication in the notion (of fighting deflation risks) that we are restricted...

The government manipulates a myriad of markets. Obviously FX and Treasuries for starters, gold and oil via management of their own inventories and possibly from time to time index futures. One only need witness the Fed's shameless manipulation of auctions including the one last August when they...

I realize you're an idiot-one only need peruse your spelling, grammar and editorial content for clues-but the Leaf will be built here in America. Also, Nissan North America pays corporate U.S. income taxes on product sold in the States, no different than GM or Ford.

As wild as it seems, 1 out of 4 living people born in Mexico now reside in the U.S. Undoubtedly we needed their labor and undoubtedly they work jobs deemed "not good enough" for entitlement minded whites and blacks. And white, yuppie America consumes labor with gusto. Lawn men, valets...

When the economy was far more in doubt, Obama's approval was 20 points higher than now.

What are you extrapolating? I'm merely saying that among white, Gallop polled respondents, it appears that Bush and Obama have similar approval ratings. edit: I'd say Obama is 5 over bush.

It's funny you mention truth. I've seen very little substantive debate from leftists on this thread. I'd remind all of you of how far your view is becoming out of the mainstream. After a quick pop on Health's passage, Obama's daily Gallop numbers are on all-time lows (46%). Excluding...

David Frum is a tool, Nik. Is there a public option in the bill? Are illegal immigrants covered? Did Obama not need to sign an executive order banning Federal funding for abortions? Who held the majorities feet to fire on those issues? Martians? Even STILL 15% of DEMOCRATS voted against it...

TraderZones is more right than wrong. Opening an account as an LLC is increasingly difficult. Particularly if the account is small and if it's obvious to the clearing firm that the LLC exists SOLELY as an instrument to limit your personal liability to trading losses. Can you lie about whether...

What problem? That costs are rising? Are they rising any faster than the prices of oil, tuition, rents, property and auto insurance, or movie tickets (Dragon is 14 bucks)? If medical costs are indeed rising inordinately, then why? Don't insurance companies-slaves to profits-have a self...

The Obama administration has fewer Cabinet members with private sector experience-including the President himself-than any administration in history.

The House of Representatives is ground zero for the budget. Why don't you compute those figures by who controlled the House? In eight years under Reagan the Federal deficits only widened a bit more than JUST THIS YEAR under Pelosi/Obama. And Obama has had less of an interest rate burden...
