First job they should do is repeal NAFTA and impose a tariff to equalize labor costs among our trading partners. What we have now is NOT free markets. By LAW an American worker will not be working for less than 7.25 an hour while the minimum wage in Mexico is 4.48 usd PER DAY. OUR...

In Florida, the MAXIMUM is like 250 a week even if you used to make 500k a year. In some states a guy who made 50k a year is getting 600 bucks a week. It doesn't have much to do with what you "paid in" but more the generosity of your states unemployment system. Sure, there is the question of...

Really. After the Federal government starts paying, it ought to be a universal amount. Some states have programs that pay four or five hundred dollars a week! Other states like Florida only pay out 250 bucks a week or so. Why the disparity between states? If the "generous" states want their...

Why bother with e-mini's- just trade the underlying index (the dollar index- DX) The e-minis are moving with the dollar index so you'll have to watch the dollar anyways- why bother with the e-mini at all?

http://market-ticker.org/archives/1612-Strong-Dollar-Lies.html Mr. Denniger makes a strong case.

Home prices should be no more than 2.5X median household income. I have heard 50k is the median so 150k on housing.

It has been posted on numerous websites with speculation it was going to happen. I don't recall seeing it on a mainstream site, if it was it was buried amongst the "everything is great" stories.

What do you mean by "Did I miss this"? If this is the first you have heard of CIT's troubles then yes......... :)

I always use that line to explain why I am not married nor do I EVER intend to get married. The married guys are always quick to point out they get "it" less after marriage than before- I ask them why any fool would marry. I can only see two advantages to being married from a mans...

I watched that last night on PBS (LOL- I don't have anything but an antenna for television) The two things that really stood out were the age of the people in that networking group of unemployed. Not one of them appeared to be under 45. Most will probably never return to the work they have...

No, they are NOT tax rebates, they are subsidies. An across the board tax rebate would have been the fairer thing to do- subsidizing specific industries was plain wrong. Why did you single out Barney Frank with your rant- you should be angry with ALL of them- not just Barney.....(and the...

If ONLY you had clicked in the link you provided wouldn't have to ask "what to make of it"? Description Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke speech on the supervisory landscape at the Boston Fed's Cape Cod conference in Chatham, Mass. :confused: :eek: :eek: :eek:

The official unemployment rate in my county (Bedford, TN) is over 13%. A lot of the jobs lost were in manufacturing. Plants closing permanently (GM plant in Spring Hill, Bridgestone tire plant in LaVergne, other assorted factories) The trucking industry which is big around here is also...

How long have you been an idiot? Do you really believe your plan would do ANYTHING to reduce unemployment? Pull your head out of your ass & maybe you will get more oxygen to your brain.

You are an IDIOT hoodooman. There is no polite way to say it, you are clearly not a thinking man. Do you think your son brings up this great idea for any other reason than to remind you of how stupid you are? I love your idea Hitler- 10% RIF (reduction in force) = OFF TO THE CAMPS...

I've often thought about getting married, it would be nice to be able to have sex any time you feel like it. Some times it sucks being single & having to go without from time to time. Maybe the threat of financial ruin from divorce is worth the "sex on demand"?

Wait until the spin during earnings reports "Revenue is not important" will be the next theory we hear from Wall Street.:D

Those who make investment decisions based on what Cramer tells them deserve everything that comes their way.

Nobody truly likes smoking, given the opportunity to rethink those first few smokes that got them addicted I doubt many would do it all over again. I challenge any smoker to come up with one benefit to being a smoker. I am not trying to do ANYTHING but convince people who do smoke &...
