America must WAKE UP: Both the Republicans and the Democrats have inflicted great harm on our country. Our founding fathers are rolling over in their graves. Both parties should be ashamed. Either McCain or Obama will continue the problem and make it worse. The pathetic question...

FDR instituted the most socialist legislation, most of which still plagues us today.

Yes, I do. FDR is the worst president in US history. He is the poster boy for term limits.

ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet Says U.S. Must Pass Plan to Rescue 'Global Finance' Fuck you Jean-Claude. If this isn't a sign to vote No on the bill, I don't know what is. Why should US tax payers, our children, grand children, and great grand children, bail out foreign entities who...

All the fear mongering and the S&P 500 is only down 9% today. Having said that, ES could touch 950 in the weeks ahead. My hope is that we dive into this recession, resolute, without significant government intervention and that we get it over in 12 months -- or longer if the government...

Which spineless representatives changed ("corrected") their vote, from Aye to No or vice versa, once they saw the outcome ? I throw the "not voting" Weller into this category. I have even more contempt for an Aye vote changed to No than I do for an unchanged Aye.

truth hurts man, truth hurts. maybe post some of the PMs here for entertainment value.

Ironfist, great post.

ft, I don't believe your statement is correct. You may be thinking of the following stat: Roughly 90% of the gold above ground has been mined since the start of the California gold rush in 1848. Un-mined gold appears on the books of mining companies as ‘reserves’ (to the extent it is...

Peil, that puts it in an interesting perspective. My math comes out pretty close to yours for purposes of a big picture discussion. World official gold holdings (includes IMF, et al.): 29,784 tonnes 1 tonne = 1 metric ton = 1,000 kg Convert 29,784 tonnes to troy ounces: 957,577,836...

Gringo, is this the stage in the dialog where you admit your claimed accomplishments are fabricated...or are we in the "always be right" stage?

I believe the translation is something about sticking your finger up a person's bum, so, yes, Gringo, looks like it is indeed self-fulfilling. The good news: You have verified that you can communicate in Portuguese! I have to say, living in Brazil one would hope. Anyway, that’s 2...

Yep, nail on head. One cannot have a productive argument with a person who has taken himself so far down a mental rabbit hole. Total waste of one's time…but not theirs. When you wrestle with pigs you get dirty...and they like it. How can one argue with a person so deluded that he...
