    Our $5T bet?

    http://seekingalpha.com/article/210704-the-5-trillion-bet I'm not sure if this guy is right, didn't fanny and freddie really have most of the risk anyway? Well now we seem to be bag holders for sure. Another $5T of shitty loans we could end up backing up. What the hell is happening in...

    World military spending in 2009 = $1.53 trillion. USA share = 43%

    On that topic this last week I had a great discussion with a government insider. There is this disease of the mind among government folk, they think that all that needs to be done is spend money on a problem and said problem is solved. They tend to be managers, politicians etc. For example I...

    World military spending in 2009 = $1.53 trillion. USA share = 43%

    While I can agree that Koreans should defend Korea, the liberal populist illusions are more rampant than ever. It's always the money thats in the military thats the difference maker which would turn society around. It doesn't matter that we have a department of energy that has poured countless...

    World military spending in 2009 = $1.53 trillion. USA share = 43%

    Of course they do, but it's not as important to them as it is minorities. Recent inquiries as to why combat units are disproportionally white concluded that white kids are there more for the adventure and patriotic feelings, minorities take the less dangerous support positions and tend to stick...

    World military spending in 2009 = $1.53 trillion. USA share = 43%

    I didn't say that, but in a way it is. Minorities use it as a jobs program.

    Obama to G20: USA to halve deficit by 2013

    no it wasn't, FY 2009 was more Obama than Bush. FY09 starts on 1 October 2008, so FY 2009 includes not only bailout but stimulus, which is 100% obama. The last all-bush was FY 2008, $455B deficit.

    World military spending in 2009 = $1.53 trillion. USA share = 43%

    typical liberal morons, always claim the military is taking money away from their out of control gov't social spending which never has enough money. The facts are also that most of the USA military spending goes towards the care and feeding of soldiers, their families, and retirees, also...

    World military spending in 2009 = $1.53 trillion. USA share = 43%

    As a percent of GDP, it's not really that big a deal, much lower than WWII or cold war levels.

    Is This Woman Too Hot To Be a Banker?

    Most of us give her 7/8, which means we would really like her to be our girlfriend/wife. I hear that hedge funds managers have kept women, so are they 9s? Can you buy a 8-9 with enough cash?

    More and more, I'm beginning to believe that a Right Wing mindset is a mental defect

    Education and changing minds? Gab posts an article where somebody hypothesizes that being very concerned with government debt, for instance, is a pathological disorder. That educated me all right, it reminds me again how assinine people can be.

    University study finds that self identified leftists don't understand basic economics

    Right, and do you think the democratic brain trust would care or understand? The representative in the video doesn't understand how government works, how's he supposed grasp something as complicated as return on investment?

    University study finds that self identified leftists don't understand basic economics

    All right, a heavy hitting theorist. UVA? Me- Rochester, nonlinear optics. No, they do not care, I just needed to clarify that I am a scientist. People seem to forget that science has been assaulted from the left as much as it has from the religious fundies. I'll never forget being invited...

    University study finds that self identified leftists don't understand basic economics

    We are talking economics here, it's not possible to define 'the right' based on everything else. The choice is between freedom and government enforced egalitarianism. No one is arguing for anarchy. The left certainly has had their share of junk science, we scientists have had to fight...

    University study finds that self identified leftists don't understand basic economics

    The study does not surprise me, you have to understand what drives liberal thinking. They are not about economic prosperity, they are all about what they call their social justice. It's an emotional based belief system that is underpinned by egalitarianism tinted with a hatred for anything...

    More and more, I'm beginning to believe that a Right Wing mindset is a mental defect

    It's not as if you can really call everyone who wants spending under control and less socialism a right wing wacko. I believe the author's intent was to talk about extreme social right wingers like the folks who live in compounds in Idaho (more like extreme communists), or the Bob Jones...

    More and more, I'm beginning to believe that a Right Wing mindset is a mental defect

    What is new is the methodology of extreme focus on the extraordinary items. What I think he is saying that the new method to report earnings growth more heavily emphasizes this when compared to the recent past. On that point I agree because revenue growth certainly can't explain 'explosive'...

    More and more, I'm beginning to believe that a Right Wing mindset is a mental defect

    I think the article says it well, liberals think like 10 year olds when it comes to defending their religion.
