If we touch 1500 and gas hits $5 and all the other bullshit fallout inflation from these scorched earth policies, many people will want to end it all.

It is essentially an invest at gunpoint policy. I think the equity rally has taken on absurd life of its own BUT that being said, if given a handful of options as to where to park money (outside of precious metals), it would make more sense to have ownership in a company like Exxon Mobil or...

Unfortunately, brokenmarkets, you don't have much of an audience here as there is a collective Stockholm Syndrome amongst the majority of participants on this site. There are no conspiracies, everything is explainable, there is no manipulation, it's all the so-called free market revaluing...

Fine, bail them out and then regulate the living hell out of them, if you want a compromise. Break up the largest banks into smaller less risk concentrated entities. Return to Glass-Steagall. ALL of these were possible resolutions that could have been incorporated with a bailout package...

It makes little difference if you support the left or the right...when it came to Obama's campaign pledges as a "progressive" and "reform oriented" candidate (remember the whole "change you can believe in" b.s.?), he has failed absolutely miserably on that front. Epic failure. The point is...

$120,000 maybe 8-10 years ago. Check out the tuition costs, room and board, books and misc living expenses nowadays at these out of control schools. Many, many private colleges and universities are in the $50k per year range x 4.

I honestly think that someone hacked your account. Since when did you start supporting Obama?

Couldn't agree more, as if the last decade of volatile commodity prices weren't enough of a headache for the restaurant industry, this will be the straw that breaks the camels back.

Well done, Pocket Change, I can't help but marvel at that list. It actually takes quite a bit of creativity to figure out how to extract as much money out of people as possible without actually raising the income tax (and potentially ending their political careers). Which gets me to my...

That pretty much sums things up, it's an old tactic that idiot politicians seem to trip over themselves time again. What really cracks me up are some of the more storied franchises, that would not in a million years, leave a large city, YET they still can pull this crap on the taxpayers. I...

His point is rather clear or are you back into your intentionally obtuse routine again?

For as much worthless shit you take from the peanut gallery here, you are right on target most of the time.

Take a look under the surface of this data. First off, our big government friends must be fawning over the fact that DC leads the nation in percentage increase. No surprise as the salary increases (even since Obama took office have been astronomical). Secondly, the chart omits peak...

That's an easy question to answer: the Unions voted him in..and when you look at the state of Illinois, it's a laundry list of government public sector workers, overpaid teachers and other Union hacks that are not only well paid during their working years, but live the life of luxury for another...

Just take a moment to think about how out of control this state tax has become. It's been widely reported that $771 million in tax refunds PAST DUE to businesses have not been paid (it goes back a number of years btw). So not only has the state not refunded money that is legally not theirs...

Show me the posts, Clouseau. You know they don't exist, that's why you continue on with your little tirades. The burden of proof is on you, imbecile, as you are the ones claiming I wrote something about Soros yesterday. With regards to your Koch brothers allegation, it would behoove you...

Hey loser, Find me those posts about George Soros.

+1000

It's cause they don't exist. Making up shit is all ya got.

I think QQQBall gave some very sound advice. Namely, that your best bet and MANY people's best bet is to leave this country and find a reasonably affordable "third world lite" type of place to call home. Once there, you'd probably have quite a few options as far as setting up business advising...
