That's Fox and Limbaugh propaganda. The Dems do not control Congress. It takes 60 votes in the Senate to stop a filibuster, but the Dems only had 51 votes. That's why for the last two years virtually none of the Dem's bills got through. Therefore, no one can pin the collapse of the economy on...

You're leaving the part where the period from FDR to post-LBJ included the world's greatest expansion of GDP. Between 1933 and 1970 tax rates were much, much higher than today, proving that higher taxes are not necessarily anti-job and anti-growth. When all is said and done, economic history...

The majority probably have the right intuition on this. We just tried an 8-year experiment in supply side economics that failed, crashed and burned. The tax system tilted the playing field to infuse a huge amount of capital into big corporations and financial companies, on the theory they would...

David Gergen today: "The Republicans came into power in 2000 as Social Conservatives and they are now leaving as Conservative Socialists." I never thought the Republicans would beat the Democrats to the socialism punch, but they did. The $950 billion bailout and bank nationalization is the...

The U.S. still has the highest GDP in the world. Until we get knocked off that perch, financial market dominance stays in New York.

Depends: McCain wins -- more of the same, markets lower, deficits higher, credit problems worsen, more bailouts for the mega-corporations. Obama wins -- markets stabilize and build a base for the next bull market, deficits stabilize to moderately improve, no more bailouts and possibly...

When the markets take another dive as credit continues to dry up, the pain will continue to spread and increase on Main Street. Small businesses can't get loans. Students forced to drop out of college. Car loans disappear. 401k balances shrink. When the pain gets bad enough for Joe and Jane...

In theory yes, but in practice, no. In the real world high end graphics power means an exponential increase in energy waste. 7600FT = 51 watts full throttle, 24 watts at idle 8800 Ultra = 193 watts full throttle, 89 watts at idle ... and the kicker is, although the 8800 Ultra consumes...

McCain clearly wants to preserve the status quo, which is a back door redistribution of income from the middle to the top.

Francis Fukuyama in the L.A. Times makes these observations about the tension between Beijing and the provinces: "China's peculiar road toward modernization after 1978 was powered by "township and village enterprises" -- local government bodies given the freedom to establish businesses and...

Socialist nations allow private property. It's communism that requires all property to be held by the state. Geez, and you called me an idiot?

John McCain would be a very poor trader because he can't remember how many shares he owns.

Obama has shown why he will be a better President than McCain. When offshore drilling was a hot topic, Obama said he would be willing to soften his position against drilling as long as it is part of a comprehensive energy plan. That's what a good President does -- crafts real-world compromises...

The more McCain talks the more I'm convinced he is a state of mental decline due to aging. He rarely says anything of substance and seems to have trouble stringing together coherent thoughts. He's very good with clever little media sound bytes and weasel words, but still, his mental faculties...

Anybody who supports McCain is a "please take money away from the lower and middle classes to the upper elite... and just naively and foolishly hope that the upper elite will so kind as to let some trickle down back to me" Corporate Elitist. And as the upper elite corrupts the government and...

Only if the new computer uses the same Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) as the broken one. Windows NT based systems (Win2000/WinXP/Vista) are all very picky about having the right system files and registry entries. If not, the blue screen of death is a frequent occurrence on boot up. Sometimes...

IMHO roll your own. Get an external hard drive case and insert a hard drive of your choice into the case. Icy Dock "mobile usb" cases: http://www.icydock.com/usb.html Buy a major-brand (Seagate, Western Digital, Maxtor, etc.) hard drive and put it in the case. Your best HD's are marketed...

Confirmation in drug stocks. Many are moving up on good volume. AMGEN. This is the right side of a cup formation, let's see if the handle forms at around $57. CHARLES RIVER. That high base looks delicious and looks ready to launch a breakout. There are more, too many examples to...

You got that right. When Bush and the Neocons got into power they said let the free market do its magic, cut tax rates and prosperity will trickle down on the lower and middle classes. Wrong. What the last seven years showed us is that when you let the Big Corporations run the government, the...
