I have it on very good authority that the Pentagon has quadrupled its orders for the Joint Strike Fighter. Now, I don't know if that means anything or not, but given how expensive that aircraft is, and given its capabilities, it should mean something.

I posted this article because it's one of the more thorough and analytical ones speaking to the credit crisis and consequent ramifications, as well as government intervention, that I've seen, ever. It's refreshing to see there are people on ET who appreciate such articles, data and points of...

I'm on top of the world there, chief. Tons of liquidity, getting to pick out assets for a song and a dance that I've wanted in the past, but was too disciplined to pay inflated prices for, and waiting for a time like the upcoming period to deploy twice or three times the purchase power for...

Hey there Vagina, did you blow up?

CONTINUED 3) Another Great Depression? The spectre of the Great Depression haunts us today, as people worry that the current crisis might develop into a full-blown depression. So, are we in another Great Depression now, or are we sliding into one? There is no official definition of what...

CONTINUED The customary theories assume that the ‘normal’ state of affairs is a market that operates without problems; the business cycle has ups and downs, but recessions are usually self-adjusting and manageable. According to this logic, a depression must be caused by factors outside...

CONTINUED The US downturn led Europe to decline further from its sluggish 1920s. In particular, the Smoot-Hawley tariff imposed by the US in 1930 would encourage beggar-thy-neighbour policies and the demise of trade relations, which ultimately hurt Europe more than the US. In 1931 a financial...

Not even close to this many - and not just on financial channels, but on weekends during the day on cable channels and major networks, too (NBC, ABC, CBS). There's one that' constantly being advertised during the day and at night on Fox and ABC which has Jimmy Johnson as a spokesman...

I'm one of the biggest critics of Obama's game plan on the economy - I think it's less an infrastructure building exercise than it is about 'golden' treatment of some banks that this and the previous administration show favoritism towards. I despise the way he's throwing meat to Goldman, JP...

More whining from jficquette, who starts 20 posts per day about Obama. I'd support giving jficquette his own Obama forum, to clear the clutter from P&R, and so his vagina heals and feels better.

Hey there, pal, but I think your ass buddy Dumbya did that. I'm not a fan of Obama's economic policy in the least, but if you want to blame anyone for the downfall of this nation (at a political level), your boy George did more than anyone to stray from conservative fiscal and foreign policy...

I find this thread and the post below to be very relevant and timely, and begs an intense issue that has many scratching their heads. RR, I think you're on to something; I think tax revenues will be reported to have absolutely cratered, and at a time when government spending as a % of GDP is...
