The question is have americans learned anything and where do we go from here? Let's see, the current attitude is that too much debt was bad so let's go far deeper in debt to fix it. Does that sound like a long term answer? Seems like a desperate ploy to recapture the 'good ol' days'...

Seriously man...don't you have anything better to do than registering a new alias and then spending your days making almost 4.5 posts per day on an anyonmous board where no really gives a fuck? But you have been here since 2002 with over 3000 posts, think of what you could have accomplished...

It had nothing to do with CDOs, ok got it, blame Reagan. Everything was just fine before Reagan as well, why on earth would we change. Krugman is a hack, who cares what he thinks.

This crap started decades ago, the majority has been trained to think the government should take care of them. It's over, it will take another 15 years but there is no way to come back now without a serious change of political direction. The new game will be how to take advantage of the...

yeah but with no money in your account you can't make a dime off it moo mooomooooron

"We don't want to run the company, except we will make fundamental decisions". This morning it is still mind blowing to me. That not-even-subtle self contradiction shows just how far this guy thinks he can push. He is starting to believe the messiah complex himself. His balls are...

We are acting as reluctant shareholders, because that is the only way to help GM succeed," Obama said. "What we are not doing -- what I have no interest in doing -- is running GM." He vowed that the federal government would "refrain from exercising its rights as a shareholder in all but the most...

Mav, the stupid one is u U speak of natural selection as if it occurs within ur generation, or ur childrens, or their childrens. Our present form of society has not been around long enough to make an assertion on something so simple minded as a political construct. Quit listening to Rush...

Hmmm, I think we can all be glad that natural selection has been taken away. TRUE capitalism would be a scary thing indeed. one visit to an OB/GYN will change your mind

Actually it think that is already pretty much the case. Those groups that don't interbreed will eventually meet Mr. Darwin, and that is always a bad thing. What a stupid comment. Socialism has taken away natural selection so the weak and dumb can now breed all they want to. Darwinism is...

This may be a old news in here, but I think this is fascinating how one quants resulting equation could become so accepted and wreak so much havoc. My own quant understanding comes from something called econophysics and I was not aware that Li's result was so widely used. Li was apparently on...

I was opposed to the Paulson plan. I was opposed to Republican spending as being too high. At least it was plausible then that eventually budgets could eventually get back to realistic. My past magnitude of opposition is irrelevent, and so is everyone else's. From this point forward where...

The reason I don't feel sorry for obama is that he is using the 'mess' to further a leftist agenda that creates more of a mess. He isn't trying to fix it as much as use it, Herr Rahm even said it was window of opportunity. There is no excuse for increasing entitlements, or amnesty, right...

I do know the new president is quite stupid to identify so much with lincoln. Lincoln thought blacks were inferior and should be deported to central america, ol' dumbass though struts around as if he were lincoln's protege.

Bush's mess: Debt = 32% GDP to 40% GDP CBO Obama plan: 40% GDP to 80% GDP If Bush was a drunken moron, then what is Obama? All I see in defense of this are accustaions of racism or idealogy. Does anyone have any real justification for this plan other than it's Bush's fault?

Obama's Magical Health Savings (or in other words, bend over and welcome to democrat hell) http://meganmcardle.theatlantic.com/archives/2009/05/obamas_magical_mystery_tour_of.php This weekend, I was on a panel where the other economics journalist and I spent a great deal of time...

if you are talking about health care reform the answer is yes. most estimates project a 20% saving in healthcare costs by going to a single payer system. That's not the point, he wants expanded benefits for more people. More to the point, the CBO has done an assesment and even if all his...

sometimes when you rent your house to a drunk frat boy it takes a lot of money to clean up the mess he leaves behind. we are still spending 10 billon a month on bushs iraq war, the bank bailouts started under the bush watch. the car bailouts started under the bush watch. health care needed...

liberty is dying fast, the haters are winning, make plans for the brave new world

Now that the environment is right, asshole Schumer is ready to push through amnesty for the estimated 12-20 million illegals in the US,..err I mean 12-20 million democrat voters. It has been shown that most of these people are uneducated, and there are a net negative economically even...
