Mav88 - I understand your concern, let me address that: Federal Income tax dollars are just that. Federal. Not Social Security, not Medicare, not unemployment... When a president discusses raising or lowering taxes - what is he referring to? The Fed Income tax - the same tax I refer to in my...

Buffet is more than an investor, he basically takes over companies. Anyway, these market movements are not that spectacular if you look at a weekly chart over the last 10 years. No doubt the rally will be until some real economic growth can occur, and not fancy slicing and dicing of financial...

About 50% of US federal tax dollars go to defense related expenditures. Misthos, how dumb are you? are you on crack? A simple 2 minute search on the internet and you can get your facts straight. You need your voting privledges revoked.

Missile defence costs a fraction of an invasion, it would be the best defense along with the promise of returning the favor of nukes. N. Kotrea can be handled and so can Chavez easily. But that's beside the point, the $60T socialist overhang is the real killer. Without rolling back medical...

We are on our way to insolvency, it's practically guaranteed as it is the current plan of the current administration- but hey, it will BE FAIR and we'll FEEL GOOD. Now BuyLo if you would just shut up and be a good little multicultural liberal, the image master is too busy to bother with your...

Do all fat people wait this long into summer?

We in the West have been Serfs to the system for many a long year (US included). We have barely blinked when Govts handed out welfare to enterprise but get into something of a lather when Joe gets a state handout. so you don't think that $60T in unfunded welfare liabilities is anything to...

I once tried to get in an order so fast that I accidentally put in a market order for a very illiquid outer month. I was raped to the tune of $4K just off the shitty fill. $4K gone instantly because I could not type and click a mouse, there, does that make you feel better?

But there were alternatives then like the auto industry. Now there is nothing done in the US that can't be done cheaper overseas. People keep saying retrain, however the foreigners keep training as well and keep outcompeting for jobs. There is nothing special about the education and talents...

Another apocalypse thread. We'll all be broke and in debt while the only remaining traders: hershey and pureprick fight over selling in on the the last downtick of the market to Dow 0 while stock trad3r of course takes the other side of that bet.

Public schools do not teach critical thinking, they train obedient little worker bees. Someone will teach their new PC version of their interpretation of the constitution. Example, I bet they would teach that health care is a right.

when the democrats are done, there won't be much left to save.

Invisible rigorously means immeasureable by any means. Wind: Physical movement of air, easy to measure, and you can actually image it using the right equipment. Love: Is not an entity, it is an emotional state. Physical existence is not a valid question unless you are talking about...

I think you're making way too much out of this. Youth service has been promoted by many administrations, Republican and Democratic alike. If they have to wear militant uniforms, recite loyalty pledges, and are armed, I'll then be in agreement with you. A bunch of kids from the inner city...

infant mortality isn't even defined the same between countries, meaningless comparison

You're the dumbass who is assuming industry knowledge because his trailer park mom got lucky and snatched up a wealthy old far who happens to be a doctor. Let me guess, is he a fat disgusting slob, hence why your white trash mom even had a chance? I bet you wonder what your real daddy thinks...

Even hag Pelosi couldn't back it, wow, we have found a bottom in congressional standards. Why what it even proposed is the question.

The professors I work with are underpaid workaholics who care about their students, who serve the community, and who produce quality scholarship. ok, maybe you are a nice guy so don't take this personally. In liberal arts, such as poli sci, it is impossible to define quality scholarship...
