All you have to do is directly apply other countries's plans. True the american government is particularly inept and it could be setup in a very inneficient way but what's the alternative? It already is the most damaging health care system to economic growth. Just directly apply another...

It you're talking about fully socializing health care, it's just a transfer of who foots the bill. Since the system is so expensive, the bill should actually go down in the first year! It is after all the only reason why reform is needed. No savings, no reform. So people would save on their...

What are you talking about, giving GM a second bailout? Yeah. everyone agrees that will look terrible. That's why it won't happen, that's why reform will have to be pushed. Because the CURRENT loans depend on the health care issue. Is the new secretary of health care even announced? Anyway, I...

It's also the most expensive, I think you'd have trouble finding people agreeing with you that the US system is the best. :p And the $$ costs means that unions or not, american competitiveness is affected. Either health care insurance costs are too high for employers and cripples them , or...

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=a_g060XQ4R_4&refer=home So what does this mean? It means that all of a sudden the union was to be charged with running the health care fund themselves and that GM would contribute only half the funds necessary in cash. That was part of...

I had acne in my teens and I remember having terribly low self esteem. I hated looking at myself. But the self esteem problems didn't come from that alone. I also had (have) a sister that let out all her rage on me, I also had a neglected mother with a divorce that ignored me, and I had to move...

I agree with the health care system of Canada 100%. I simply cannot imagine having a tens of thousands dollar injury hit you and force you to go bankrupt, or lose your life savings. The problem however is all these baby boomers who want to live forever and get the smallest of operation...

Haha, I kind of got the feeling their first "depression" announcement was really tainted. IMF has been openly rejected by country after country because everyone knows they are a tool of american multinationals. They are just trying to give themselves more power instead of quietly fading away...

It's a one party system, they won't do shit.

This goes right in the same folder as Fox Business trying to appear like it's fighting for the people and bringing forth investigative journalism. Both Barron's and Fox Business are owned by the same person, it's all just business, there's no sincere feelings behind it.

That cap is pretty much meaningless, it doesn't affect any bank that already got a bailout.

Before we make a decision, let's find out if it's going to fall on Washington or not.

Half a trillion in only 2 hours? That's way too fast to be your neighbors and friends running away. It's also in the middle of the work day, how could it be so concentrated? This looks like a classic attempt at an engineered run on a bank, they've been done a few times before. Next step is...

Another 598,000 jobs were lost in January. The problem is that it will take 1 year or more to solve the financial mess, aka get help from other countries such as China to setup a better financial system. In the meantime, the goal is not to have the country in a depression by then. A lot of...

Seriously, how do you rate threads? I imagine only moderators or something can.

Greenspan always seemed to me like a bullshit artist. I remember this stupid story he said that as a child he would write down train's times that they passed in front of his house in a notebook. Thanks to Cramer, I can smell that bullshit from far away. I guess he had that hussle in him...

The US with China close behind. But keep in mind that one third of Japan's workforce earn less than welfare, have no unemployment benefits, live in company housing, no social security, these people will never break out of the poverty trap. Forget opportunity. A permanent slave class to be...

I found this article very interesting on Japan, I had no idea. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601101&sid=asGHc_c3.BOY&refer=japan [B] Japan is falling off a cliff, GDP is expected to fall at 10% annualized in the 4th quarter, industrial output has already fallen by 10%...

Invest in the canadian owned banks.

Obviously you have to look at percentage of GDP spendings. Also there's no doubt he has to spend because of the economic problems already in place on day 1 of his administration.
