I really liked Ronald Reagan. I did quite a bit of research on him, and encourage others to do so for themselves. Unfortunately while he did reign in govt the first two years in office, it and the deficit expanded afterwards despite the rhetoric to the contrary. The expansion of govt seems to be...

Thanks for the post . . . but I thought this was common knowledge. Perhaps I was wrong. The market has been driven by smoke-n-mirrors. The Feds providing money to investment banks to speculate and run the market up even though companies are making no money and volume is declining. They want...

He supports controlling 'speculation' somehow, admits that zero interest rates are driving this, but says nothing about the source of it all - - - the Fed and other worldwide central banks ? I watch the guy because he's sharp, but anyone can predict a crash in the market. Hell, I think its...

Clinton, Bush, and now Obama. Seems like the truth meter has been disconnected for a very long time - - -

sigh - - - some of the last few posts are a perfect example of what I spoke about earlier. Unfortunately, the Dem 'versus' Rep illusion goes on. Perhaps too many peoples personal identities are invested in "I am a Dem." or "I am a Rep." If they cling to their prejudices they will be played...

Maybe there are a few in the press who will actually fill their true role in our democratic republic afterall. - - - Either that, or they saw that they could very well be next to be targeted.

The key to this battle is to fight peacefully with ideas. As Boetie wrote in "The Politics of Obedience: The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude" - - a tyrant can't physically impose his will on the people- - they have to go along with it. One man or small group of men can only accomplish...

No replies from the mindless followers of O ? (The same folks who leave their '08 election stickers on their cars & think Soviet 'art' style posters of "Mr. Hope & Change" are just terrific.) And what do they think of that Orwellian ad sponsored by the useful idiots that pledge personal...

OK all you stupid dolts out there. - - - You are being Played. DemoRepublican, - - - its all the Same. The real battle isn't the one on the surface between the so-called Republicans and Democrats. The real battle is between those business interests (especially certain bankers) and politicians to...

We can't afford it. Head of the bipartisan Congressional Budget Office testified that not only will this not decrease health care costs, it will actually increase them drastically. (Come on use some common sense - - which doesn't seem to be so common nowadays. Where is government efficient ...

How come (other than some form of political correctness in a Keynesian world) you "don't like them much" ? The Austrians IMO correctly pointed out the role of the expansion & contraction of fiat money by central banks as the source of excessive booms & busts. - - -

One thing your statement glaringly points out is how divorced macro-economics is from micro-economics today. Its likely the original poster is speaking about the 'uselessness' of macro-economics as generally practiced. I think they are wrong - - - but they have been looking for answers in the...

Yeah, Mickie Ds and Walmart are doing fine. - - A terrfic indicator of how wonderful the country is doing. Maybe even a chain of pawn shops will one day make it on the Dow. Happy Days Are Here Again !

Maybe people's blinders will start to fall off a little - - - we are in one big Plantation working as wage/tax/debt slaves for a small group of oligarchs - - - who make up the rules ('laws') which apply to us, but not to them. - - When things go to pot, they don't want too many of you slaves to...

IMO we often spend far too much time focused on what 'the government' will or will not do - - - without realizing that 'the government' is merely a concept. When we speak of 'the government' what are we really talking about ? Is it all the government employees - - including the thousands of...

But how about when 'the government' (which is actually a group of lawyer/liar politicians & bureaucrats with their own personal power agendas & who think the rules apply to the peons, but not themselves) - - - set up 'laws' so that you have no choice but to come to them for so-called health care...

Why morons would be so enthusiastic about a bureaucratic, politically motivated government monopoly for their health care is remarkable. Why would they suppose that employees who likely couldn't be fired (and whose inefficiencies would probably be covered up) will be any more efficient or...

Yes, it does just show that a lot of voters are absolute ignorant morons. Ron Paul and Obama come from philosphies that are as far apart as you can get. One is for Liberty & honors individual natural God given rights & self determination, and the other is for a 'benevolent' Socialism controlled...

I know what you mean. These followers are so blind and utterly ignorant of facts/science that sometimes you just throw up your hands in exasperation. The public schools and t.v. have created a nation of morons.

"Consumer protection" had nothing to do with the financial melt down at all. - - Geez, how stupid are people anyway? Just Google "Federal Reserve" "derivatives" "Community Reinvestment Act" at least as a start. (If youre too lazy to do your own homework, just go back to watching the boob tube.)...
