Looking forward to it.

At this point, what's the difference? Money given, money not otherwise taken away.... it's all the same. And hell, we all need money nowadays.

This is the only proposed/active bailout to date that would benefit me. I could use another hunting dog.

I live in New Jersey. I'll say this: Don't read too much into it. I know many people (including myself) that are either independents or democrats that voted for Christie. Sorry to burst your Republican bubble - we are not big fans of Christie or the Republican party. We are not Republicans...

I remember reading this article a while back - just found it - better summary than the links I posted: Divided We Stand What would California look like broken in three? Or a Republic of New England? With the federal government reaching for ever more power, redrawing the map is enticing...

For everyone's reading pleasure: The Alaskan Independence Party http://www.akip.org/ H A W A I ` I Independent & Sovereign http://www.hawaii-nation.org/ New England Confederation Alliance.org http://www.newenglandconfederationalliance.org/ The Second Vermont Republic...

Yeah, I'm aware of the conversion costs - same cost here (but no subsidy). The issue would be logistics - the US is a big country and it's not uncommon for people to say, drive from New Jersey to Florida. That's a lot of refueling stops. How many gas stations offer LPG in Australia? Are...

For some crazy reason, I would think Hezbollah would be ordering A LOT of those cars. But seriously, wouldn't a plutonium battery be kinda dangerous?

I don't think you're looking at this at a macro level. I mean 30,000 feet in the air. From the Cleveland Fed: "The answer lies in the complexity of the market for the securities that were derived from subprime mortgages. Not only were the securities traded directly, they were also...

If Goldman Sachs was a baseball player batting .999, there would have been a congressional investigation and ultimatley huge fines.

You neglect the amount of leverage used with those derivatives. The numbers were probably astronomical, and as such, would have been akin to letting a mountain of dynamite "self explode." The deflationary effects would have been awesome. "The world does not end, Capitalism works..." I...

It's not just for maintaining order. OK, I'm going to sound crazy here. But remember last year when the financial system froze up? It could happen again. And when it did last year, Bush and his advisors were actually discussing how to feed 300 million people if there was a hard stop...

Someone gets it. I laugh when people talk about electricity as if it's something that is always clean. I guess they never saw a coal plant. LOL. As for nat gas and Picken's dreams - you have to remember - you need a tremendous change in infrastructure - how many gas stations exist in...

They need more than 400K when the SHTF. Unless, of course, the state governors use their national guardsmen to maintain some sort of order. When our economy finally accelerates its descent - things will get ugly. Hurricane Katrina showed us how an American city can quickly turn into a...

I said that about Al Gore because he is irrelevant. He's only as important as you make him out to be. As for cap and trade. I agree to an extent with it - at least the policy objective of decreasing wasteful and dirty energy use. My issue is the application of it. Instead of cap and...

Until we learn that both parties are full of shit, we are going no where. The repubs had a long reign from 2000-2006 - there was little if anything to be proud of in their record. The dems are doing no better. But in Gore's defense - he is not a politician. Hasn't been one in a long time...

+1 Thank you.

What is your opinion about Cheney - Iraq - Halliburton? Just curious.

LOL... Hey man, you have to have all your bases covered. But seriously, I've been following Faber for a few years now. Has he always been dead on? No. But you know what? He gives pretty solid reasoning behind his predictions, so if the facts change, it's not that difficult to assume...

That's why his website is titled "GloomBoomDoom" There's a "boom" in that title, in case you missed it.
