Good question

The Fed is one socialistic component of our "modified capitalistic" economy. I personally think it has been better for us than it has been bad for us ( I'm sorry Ol' Hickory). I think it could possibly be enhanced some if it was de-politicized even further somehow. There is still the threat that...

Ouch! Is there a Nazi in our midst? Why do you Nazi's have a need to question other peoples patriotism because they use their freedom of thought and fredom of expression? In a liberal democratic society such as this, the finest expression of patriotism is critical thought regarding politics. If...

The most profitable trading I have ever done has been founded on establishing a good real time understanding of the business cycle. Sometimes I really get a good handle on it, other times I seem to be in sync with the predominant opinion whether it is right or wrong, and at other times I feel...

I appreciate that, and I also appreciate you and your friends service. I am not a peacenik by nature and am not opposed to fighting arabs in the least ( Big Israel supporter). However, i do feel like this particular war was ill conceived by "chickenhawks" with personal agendas. I think it is...

Touche'. "Lies" may have been a little stretch. He did , however, miscalculate what my college fund was going to be by $40,000. Accident? he also misrepresented several other components of my service. The re-enlistment NCO also tried to slip extension papers in a stack of forms "he needed" me to...

George Bush Sr. served nobly! But wait a minute. Didn't he prosecute a war with a clear objective? An entrance and exit strategy? With as minimal cost to American Lives as possible? Ha! But then the "chicken hawk" bunch left him high and dry for doing the right thing to address the sea of Red...

As I reflect back on the lies my recruiter told me, and watch as they are coming into the High School to "recruit" ( Con?) my son and the many boys I coached through little league the hair is standing up on my neck. A retired special forces friend of mine and I have actually half-jokingly...

He bailed because he doesnt want to have the no win situation that is coming to be on his watch.

Exactly! We don't need less support for Israel, we need more. One of my favorite ideas is to create a Joint Middle Eastern Command among western allies and place an Israeli general in charge. It is time to quit pussy footing around with these lunatics and draw some lines. I say when the chips...

I agree with an earlier post that deflationary pressures have eased a great deal in the last few years. However, I believe that they can and probably will re-emerge very easily. This latest expansion is too dependent upon homebuilding driven by minimum equity lending AND defense spending which...

With the conservatives actually believing that the Fed is the only one that has any responsibility moderating growth and containing inflation, will (has) the economy evolve to a point where even a bulldozer pushing the string will be ineffective?

Free floating currency? That is a novel idea maybe we should try it! With major countries enjoying behemoth current account surpluses by fixing their exchange rates and being allowed to compound the problem by using slave labor, AND by tying the worlds largest commodity to the currency of a net...

Am i the only one that feels like the Bush Administration has intentionally not tried to defend the dollar? Is this their way of mitigating the cost of petroleum in other countries and minimize the outrage over the war in Iraq? On every front it seems as if the Bush Administration is pursuing...

I am curious about something. Who did this poll? I find it hard to imagine that people who think lying about a BJ is worthy of impeachment, while giving their support to a president who lies in order to support his decision to get a bunch of our kids killed, would be happier than people who...

Is a shame that it seems so many people on this board are here for nothing other than to refute the validity of other peoples questions and/or beliefs. There is no question that underlying economic influences govern the markets so the question is not whether or not it is a valid pursuit to try...
