I think you are missing the real big picture. All of what you talk about is PAST tense leading up to TODAY. The past 20 years we experienced the biggest credit bubble in history. As they say a rising tide lifts all boats. Much of what could be accomplished in so far as leveraging debt to...

The Mexicans do the work, but they have become Public Enemy No. 1 in the blame game for all of societies ills. Meanwhile blacks commit the most crime and draw the largest amount of social welfare by a country mile.

All a part of another mass propaganda campaign anyway. Obama announces his re-election is kicking off and on cue the bottom feeders in the employment game announce mass hirings. Only problem is that his power base of myopic support already lives better with free housing, free food, free...

Exactly. They save and then the savings are taxed 100% with ZIRP running indefinitely while the value of said dollars are inflated away.

He has all the sincerily and psuedo gravitas of a newsreporter reading his lines off of the teleprompter. Think Lester Holt or someone similar.

C'mon, he is easily the most financially illiterate President we've had in recent memory. Unless it is written for him on the teleprompter, he's not about to dive into the details of high finance. And who exactly is going to let the cat out of the bag with regards to the fragility of the US...

Took the words out of my mouth (or the keystrokes off my keyboard in this case). As if we are supposed to believe that the most financially tone deaf President we've ever had in this country suddenly has the capacity to understand such abstract concepts as debt as money. Sorry, but this is...

I firmly believe that it's in the ballpark of 20%. But take it one step further...How many of the employed are "traditionally" employed vs 100% commission or a modest base but essentially living off of commissions. Basically, within the 80% employed, what percentage of those actually have jobs...

btw, as an addendum to that chart, it's VERY interesting to note that the 03-06 bounce never approached the peak employment reached in the late 1990s. As I have contended before, that very brief but extremely damaging housing bubble was created to pick up the massive and burgeoning slack in...

That is all one needs to look at. Period. End of Story. Every other artificially derived indicator that the MSM and it's paid shill, Olias, use to deceive the populace ignores this very simple chart that tells the real story. Unemployment is sky high, underemployment and part-time work...

Exactly. It's a race to try and create a majority of freeloaders, wardens of the state and cajole them into lifelong voting Democrats. (It started years back, but that's another story). This effort has essentially fueled the opposition and created all of these head to head conflicts in states...

Great point and I completely agree. You know it's a good rejoinder when Mr "Post a Minute" Ricter doesn't reply. Ricter, do you even take bathroom breaks during the day? Someone please take a look at this guy's daily post count. He must live in filth.

I do the exact same thing and always make sure these idiots are actually going to stop at the red light. Basically, I just assume everybody behind the wheel is out of his/her mind and careless, it makes me a far more defensive driver and pedestrian.

The only thing that I would add to that statement is that Obama drew out larger numbers of black voters, who might otherwise sit out a Presidential election. So while we can bicker back and forth about whether it was the black vote or the swaying of the independent vote, what's clear to me and...

That is a strong opinion considering how much evidence there is to the contrary. By most accounts, the current groupthink is that Quant Easing will continue indefinitely (regardless of the tough talk on occasion). By extension, the pursuit of dollar devaluation and the boost of commodities and...

You see this entire charade for what it is...more than likely because you've lived it in the former Soviet Union. Most people in this country have their heads so far up their asses, they can't think straight, so they argue bullshit talking points back and forth and miss the bigger picture...

As another forum member said a few months back, collectivists would love to take away car ownership from the citizenry...force everybody into the public transit system or to ride around on bicycles throughout the cities. It's also why we really never hear a damn thing anymore about the price...

Exactly.

There hasn't been a President in my lifetime (40+ years) that had expertise in all of those categories. I could make an argument on behalf of Richard Nixon in several of them, but he was corrupt to the core and set precedent for Bush II in terms of an abuse of the executive priviledge. Carter...

Sure, it might be true. A chimpanzee would be better as well. Doing nothing in most instances is better than what this clusterfuk would do when they come up with reactionary policies. Nonetheless, the question is kind of pressing as to who might run against him in the not to distant future...
