It really is amazing, isn't it that these COLLECTIVISTS hold to their ridiculous notion that 'the state' will make better decisions and run things better than people deciding what they want for themselves. The programs of the 60s that brought us the financial disasters of the Medicare and...

LOL thats freakin hilarious :D Here's an idea - - maybe people who own clunkers that don't run could trade their carbon credits to people with cars that do run. The secondary clunker market would explode. Damned ! Wish I could talk to Big Al about that; its another billion dollar idea ! I...

"AP - - A new bill is being drafted in the House that will require all Americans to replace their current vehicles with new General Motors cars within 3 years. Those who do not do so will be fined $ 3,000 and after 4 years could face up to 5 years of imprisonment. The purpose of the proposal...

Though I started the thread, I'd like to find out what others think. Its easy to get locked into your own mode of thinking - to form an opinion and then see only what supports that, and ignore what doesn't. I guess that's human nature. Last time I checked the VIX was in the low 20s - - not...

I hunt mainly with bow - mountain backcountry backpacking off trail and away from the roads. Usually making 'camp' out of a bivy sack. Elk & mule deer. I hunt black bear, but in my state baits aren't allowed so I call them in and use a handgun - - 454 or 45 Colt usually. - - Used to do a lot of...

Hello everyone - - Do you think the Economy is going to get better, worse, or pretty much stay the same ? I leave this open as to time frames. Please explain your thinking. - - Maybe youre on one side if this argument or the other; its always valuable to question your opinions - maybe they'll...

RangeBar - - o.k., fine. You think things are going to turn out one way - - - and I think they could very well turn out differently. Youre a middle aged post war boomer who has lived in a world of prosperity. Except possibly in the case of Vietnam, you don't have any experience of the...

I did a search here and nothing came up, so thought I'd post this interesting article. I liked these guys first book (though I 'didn't like' some of their conclusions on some issues - my personal hot buttons.) I found their writing excellent and well thought out however...

Thanks for the links. In the past, I've been reluctant to donate to out of state campaigns. My thought was that the candidates need to be fully supported by the people from within their own states. But given the lack of those in govt who actually support the Constitution and true free market...

I've never heard that term dualflation or biflation. But it is a good point that all prices don't move to the same degree. And some of the govt stats are quite useless when it comes to measuring the impact on people in their everyday lives (for example food & fuel prices being dropped from some...

The shit hasn't hit the fan yet. (Unless youre one of the 10.2% officially recognized, the 17% kinda recognized, or the more than 20% that would have been recognized as unemployed before they really starting screwing with the econ 'stats' 30 years ago.) Whats 'bad' is the move to completely...

Interesting post, thank you. - - I disagree with many of your points, but don't paint China as a 'victim'. I also don't see them as the root cause of our current economic problems either. As I see it the cause comes down to the Federal Reserve and their overly expansive 'money printing'. They...

F*^ing Hell ! Ever see a thread that you know is going to be so bad that you don't want to even open it up & start reading it ? (At least until your weekend is over.) - - Well, its Sat morning but I went ahead and started reading it anyway. - - - The situation given the details about the...

Yes, youre right of course - they hold trillions of dollar denominated assets, so are between a rock and a hard spot. Their move out of dollars and into hard assets will be slow and over the long term. They (like India & Russia) have been building their gold reserves. - -

Hi everyone - - given that people here likely have an interest in economics that is greater than most people, I am curious if you read books, articles, etc from those who hold an economic philosophy different than your own ? For example, I just picked up a book by a hardcore Keynesian and have...

You are either really dense or a natural politician (ala Jimmy Carter claiming he didnt say those opposing O's positions are racists, when the video is readily available showing him doing so. What Carter said was those opposing O. are doing so based on the fact that he is a black man. But Carter...

I know you 'believe' what you wrote - - it is a repetition of something you read or heard before. What youre missing is the overall cost of such public works projects - - - in taxes, fraud, inefficiency, crony politics, extortion of workers & voters, etc Even greater costs come from the...

Index piker - - yes, youre absolutely right on that point of course. Regards, - -

Ricter - - youre missing the point. 'Your side' should welcome this. . . hell, theyve instigated it. It is a course that Al Gore has just begun to take. Its purpose is to defend against increasing numbers of factual & evidence based attacks on the scam of 'man made global warming' by saying it...

Thank you for very kindly providing that link to the interview. - - You may be interested to know that these busts (created by bank fraud money printing) have been long standing in American history. They predate the Fed, and the Fed was created in order to extend the banksters ability to...
