    Obama Deficits To Be Much Higher Than Expected

    Why worry, when the American dollar goes the same way as the Zimbabwe Dollar, you could probably pay off the debt with a couple of hundred thousand Chinese Yuan. At today's exchange rate: 6,900,000,000,000 Zimbabwe Dollar (ZWD) = 184,212 US Dollar (USD)

    US financial trouble started in late 90's uner Clinton/Greenspan

    http://z.about.com/d/uspolitics/1/0/I/1/debt_percent_gdp.png This chart indicates to me that Clinton actually started to cure the American financial problems. Reagan was the one who started them. I always understood that Republicans are supposed to be fiscally conservative, when did they...

    Economy Is In Freefall, Rantings of People Like John Stossel Aside - Proof In Data

    I doubt that any government stimulus spending will help the economy. It will more likely harm the economy by increasing the size of government and competing with the private sector for borrowed money. If you have to resort to stimulus spending, there should be a legitimate payback. For...

    TFSA - Pay Commissions Out Of Cash Account?

    With most equity trades, the difference between bid and ask is probably double or more what the comission is. I don't know exactly who gets this difference between the bid and the ask, I don't think it's in the broker's interest to let you know that. The broker could probably sell you stocks...

    Outside buyers drawn to Detroit's foreclosed homes

    If you could buy a bunch of houses for $1, then get rid of the houses cheap, you'd have some relatively inexpensive farm land. What could you grow on the farm land without getting shot or getting your crops stolen?

    Pharmacists making six figures

    It looks like a lot of school for the wage. It's probably not a lot more school to become a doctor which to me would be a lot more interesting.

    What do u say when asked for Investment Advice?

    I tell them first, noone can predict the future, if I could, I'd be a billionare in a few weeks. Depending on who it is, I might discuss some of my investments and my reasoning for such but I aways warn about risks. I told my dentist how much money I made on a stock once without thinking...

    Geithner... "Must Reduce Deficit"

    You need to have business that can export to help with the balance of trade. Exports won't be subject to a consumption tax. If you don't build your export business America will hardly be able to pay the interest on debt owed to foreigners let alone any of the principal. Business that sell...

    Why A 10% Consumption Tax Is A Must

    They only get the 10% if and when you spend it, in the meantime, the money is yours to keep on earning more. If they don't get it in a consumption tax, they'll get it by taxing your capital gains or dividends. The initial cause of this depression was over consumption. If you have to increase...

    Mortgage Interest Deduction Phaseout?!

    Actually I think it's a very wise move. Housing is a consumer item that only returns something once to the economy. If the same money is put into investments there is a continuous return to the economy. Why do you think Canada didn't get into such big problems with inflated home prices and...

    Even with inflation in 1970. It only took 1 worker

    In 1970 we had one car, one television with only an antenna, one telephone, no air conditioning, ate out 3 times a year, vacation was to our aunt and uncle for a couple of weeks, no prepared foods etc. Everyone else lived like that too and we were all content with it. I'm sure you could still...

    Any good free screen capture programs?

    Why would you need more than that? It works on any computer I might use. You can edit the picture, add arrows etc in paint. If I get used to a program like snag it, I won't know what to do when I'm on another computer that doesn't have snag it.
