I'm not sure 15% unemployment is not only possible, but likely, in the U.S. within a year or two. Where are jobs going to come from to replace those lost in manufacturing, finance, retail, and now, government and even health care. Joblessness is like a cancer that is metastizing.

Mvic, based on what Simon Johnson states, and I have little reason to doubt his expertise, the unstated cost of the recapitalization of the banking system to the U.S. taxpayer alone, will exceed 3 trillion dollars. If you include the costs of providing money to lend into the next 3-5 years...

Sorry that I missed your question until now. I don't believe it is. I believe that those tax brackets are only the income tax rates (brackets) that those living in the Province of Ontario, Canada, pay to their Federal Government. And, like others have stated, Canadians in Ontario and...

Sick. Apple better start getting its shit together, or G_d will strike it and its employees down with a vicious and swift blow.

If Americans ever awoke from their slumber, they would realize the Federal Reserve is an unconsitutional entity, void ab initio, exercising extreme powers and constraints over their ability to be free economically and otherwise, and they would burn it down to the ground, and take rightful...

Then we are no longer America, as set forth in our very own Constitution. I realize that is a dramatic statement, and I could spend the better part of 5,000 words or more stating an eloquent, and more importantly, factually astute and compelling case as to why the statement is absolutely...

Great links and articles. The Economist is the best magazine in the world.

Long and even intermediate terms, you will be vindicated as surely as there are laws of physics at play in the universe. Don't let the short term manipulation bother you, as you should know that more than 70% or even 90% of those doing the manipulation won't be able to sustain their models...

A non-marriage is a social contract. If you're okay breaking a social contract based on your own moral code, because it's not a de jure legal one, that's indicative of your principles. A marriage IS a legal contract, every bit as much as a business one is, and one of the requirements under...

I agree with you completely. But there is prose in both the Old and New Testament about Judgment being the province of G_d. I am not the most consistently moral person, although I try to catch myself, and maybe that's why I'm partial to 'those who live in glass houses should not throw...

Yes, I can. Technically, he wasn't a fed, but I understand what you're saying. I've made worse comments about others, even though they had been proven to have partaken in wrong doing, and didn't commit suicide (Samuel Israel faked his suicide). Even so, I shouldn't have then and shouldn't...
