    What happened in Russian default? Or any sovereign default?

    Two entirely different aircraft. Both are stealth fighters, BTW. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_F-22_Raptor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_F-35_Lightning_II No. The F-22's flyaway cost is $150MM per copy. The F-35's flyaway is expected to range between...

    Uninterruptable power supply?

    Agreed, Murphy's Law and all that, which is why I'm logged into my account on the laptop. Disagree with expensive, long-term UPS, for the same reason. Why take the chance that "this" outage is not static, that it takes out the network infrastructure between you and your broker after you put...

    Nobel Prize-Winning Economist Joseph Stiglitz says:

    Of course you don't want to go back 6 cycles. If you did you'd see that the Democrats now do not have the lopsided support that the Republicans had in the past. As for profits, goggle what I mentioned and do some reading.

    Nobel Prize-Winning Economist Joseph Stiglitz says:

    Doctors? That's who you think the corporate power base is here? Try googling "who profits from medicare" Then take a look at the donation breakdowns between Dems and Repubs for the past 6 election cycles. Specifically, take a look at Healthcare Professionals and Insurance...

    Seriously? Is that the best come back you could muster in your lesser-of-two-evils argument? Pathetic...

    Nobel Prize-Winning Economist Joseph Stiglitz says:

    Guess again. 50% of total healthcare spending comes from public programs. Where do you think that money goes if not to the corporate power base? As far as SS/SI, it accounted for 40% of federal tax receipts last year. The Republicans have absolutely no intention of cutting off that...

    60% of net worth invested in silver

    Show me one economist, not just an Ivy, but of any stripe, that is responsible for any of the legislation that's committed over 55% of the GDP to mandatory spending.

    60% of net worth invested in silver

    You time on this ball of mud is also finite but, more importantly, how much time you have left is unknown. The problem with your finite precious metals is that their price can be manipulated by forces beyond your control. If that manipulation puts you underwater for longer than you can stay...

    Uninterruptable power supply?

    While I'm certain there are situations that need a power source that can supply 10 days of electricity, I really can't see how any day trader would need something like that. Worse, any event that would require being on a backup system for that length of time would have most likely taken out...

    Nobel Prize-Winning Economist Joseph Stiglitz says:

    Disagree. Democrats buy votes with promises of public entitlements while Republicans get theirs with legislative promises that benefit the corporate power base. Both paths lead to the same end, the working class taking it in the shorts; ergo, both parties suck equally bad.

    What's the Main Impediment to Getting a Job in US?

    No doubt there are opportunistic lawyers and misguided public officials that are doing everything in their power to screw things up. But, I think those are actually the minority. The barriers to entry that small businesses face have been established by the large corporate interests who...

    Nobel Prize-Winning Economist Joseph Stiglitz says:

    Democrats socialize gains while Republicans socialize losses. Neither of them socialize wealth and power. Both models suck.

    Nobel Prize-Winning Economist Joseph Stiglitz says:

    History also shows that it took over 200 years for the U.S. government to amass a $1TN debt. In less than 30 years since Reagan took office that debt is now 14 times larger. Cutting taxes before cutting spending is irresponsible.

    What's the Main Impediment to Getting a Job in US?

    From your previous post: "So the Jewish people set up their own banks, including Lehman Brothers." Like I said, go check your history. They didn't start out as a bank.

    What's the Main Impediment to Getting a Job in US?

    You might want to check into the history of Lehman Bros. The only part you got right was that they were Jewish.

    A true take on where America may end up

    You're posting a link to an article detailing the disparity of income while you live in, and promote, TexASS, with one of the worst income disparities in the U.S.? What a fuckin' laugh...

    Which Republican Candidate will be best for our economy?

    Every new administration says the exact same thing; they don't want to point fingers at the dearly departed, they just want to get "it" fixed. And the net result? "It," the national debt, has gone from $1TN to over $14TN in 30 years. Washington is broken largely because there's zero...

    LCD vs LED

    You're a little confused on your technologies. LCD in today's marketing use refers to the type of backlight used for the display panel. The previous technology was CCFL or cold cathode fluorescent light. The problem with CCFL was that it puts out less light as it ages and, especially in...

    Get ready for even less physical silver to be available.

    You're daft if you think that any person, fund or other non-government entity will still be holding physical silver, or gold for that matter, after a fiat collapse.
