Hear Hear. Also, we are not talking about chump change neither. 700B divided by 150mil tax payer is $4666 per taxpayer.

2nd that.

If I paid person X to move dirt from A to B, then paid person Y to move dirt from B to A. That is job creation, but that is not investing in the future. Obama is under a lot of pressure from his own party to do just that and I praise him to able to resist that temptation so far. The devil...

Bush didn't do it. Obama sure will not do it. ======== Why? Because income is around 70% of gov's income. It will be higher with corporate profit way down this year.

Look no further than our own "mission accomplish" statement in 2003. It is just how governments operate everywhere.

* He provides entertainment in a brutal market. * He provides hope. Everyone needs hope to be alive, even those are probably false hope. * Being an optimist is the American way, even it is borderline disillusional. Bottomline, I like him and keep him around. Just don't follow any of...

So, this is where the TARP fund went into? For oil price speculation? Someone please shoot me. If they can do this, I guess the government can get its money back for something more useful.

Well, if this is true, someone is pocketing the money..:), so which company? Supermarkets? Kraft?

Frostie is right. You have to look at inflation against what. Not speaking inflation as a general sense. For example, if everything double, your salary, food price, etc...., the only loser are bond holders, cash holders. Anyone holding asset will still be fine.

Neke, Wish you the best of luck in 2009. I really want you to show those 20-20 pros and frauds like Madoff how to do it fair and square. Also, you will be doing this completely by yourself as an outsider of wallstreet..:)

Well, Ben is probably right to inflate. The problem is : "Heli Ben" give Paulson the heli and money bags and Paulson keeps his heli above CEO mansions only. What's with the no question asked bailout for citi, but not autos? I am against all sort of bailout but even an idiot can see that...

Everyone repeat after me...:) "We have a strong dollar policy!"

Let's face it. Fed want to get rid of the treasury market..:) IE, make it yield zero and inflate out of trillions of debt which both government and consumers hold. Once that is over, Volcker will give advice on how to restore order. Essentially, there will be one global currency left...

"straight create value". More like taking a commission by shifting shit to taxpayers.

At the minimum, I know mutual fund and 401k is a scam. 2% each year for something with a 50-50 chance beating index performance. Then, a retirement program where mutual fund has to pay to get listed as an option.

Got hammered by the Chinese government..

Double that for every taxpayer.

Guys, we are broke. When you are broke, socialism or not. We are broke. I am for tax increase if government spending will not increase and all extra revenue go straight to pay off the deficit. That's the ideal case during normal situation. Right now, in this deflation evironment...
