Yeah, we're definitely getting Banged, alright.

The dangers inherent with democracies were written about at the time of the ancient Greeks and at the founding of our Republic. - - Basically its human nature to prefer b.s. over truth, when that truth is painful to hear. That's how the b.s. artists (politicians) get you to vote for them. Tell...

I thought they wrote to make money. I was amused to hear a radio ad for a company that was offering financial planning advice for the coming changes with the new administration. Of course, said administration has said little and offered nothing concrete in terms of any proposals. (Anybody...

Seems to me to be a combination of those in the know doing whatever they can to take care of themselves before it all comes crashing down - - looking to consolidate their own power and finances and the hell with all the peons. - - And those coming up with the same ole' - same ole' - - government...

Hmmm - - maybe I could open up my place and co-habitate with some of those brothel appicants mentioned on another thread here ! :cool:

P.S. - - bars were full too !

Jayford - - this is not a knock on you - - but I bet many (perhaps most ?) politicians think of this situation in the way that you expressed - - in terms of their own political advantage or disadvantage rather than in terms of what will be best for the country. Given that our political...

P.S. - - and if youre not a true optimist regarding this subject - - maybe you can just play devil's advocate with rose colored glasses anyway. - -

OK - I'm probably asking this on the wrong website and would get more of a response on one of those buy-and-hold forever, 'invest for the long term' blah, blah, blah sites. Everything that I've studied suggest the U.S. economy is up the creek, now and for the long term. Poor policies practiced...

I'm sure there were long lines of people waiting to buy their tullip bulbs back in Holland when that whole craziness hit. So what - - the public is an idiot with an infinite capacity for self deception. They don't know what shape they or the economy is in and they don't want to know. They vote...

Seems to me that organization under bankruptcy is the only way these companies have a chance of become viable in the long term. Once they take taxpayer money they'll become captured by the politicians - who, for the most part, are lawyers - - those in the obfuscation, extortion & protection...

Why subsidize failure ? They say they'll turn things around but have had decades to make changes, & haven't done so. - - This means taking money from the vast majority of us, which we could apply to our own retirements, or kids educations - and giving it to a group who has been paid far above...

Yes, and I think they should pass a bill wiping out all credit card debt, (or any debt for that matter), - - and capping fuel prices, and guaranteeing all jobs forever, and providing an attractive & wonderful mate for everyone who wants one, . . . and how about outlawing Death, who the hell...

Guess I'm from the tail end of the boomer gen, but can't stand their typical values. (Came from a military family, so had a different perspective.) - - A bunch of spoiled pony-tailed ex-hippes with their heads up their a#$. Their parents & grand parents went through the 1st Great Depression and...

Thanks bdon, I appreciate it. - -

Hello everyone - - I can't seem to find a copy of the latest Trader Monthly magazine after checking several of my usual local sources (I'm in the Seattle area) I might just get a subscription, but wonder - are these guys are still up and running ? - - I know its only a hundred bucks, but I've...

http://bwnt.businessweek.com/housing/2006 Check out the cost of renting vs owning column.

Business Week did a study of the housing market throughout the country in 2005 "How Strong is the Housing Market Where You Live?" and in some areas (especially on the two coasts) it could cost as little as one third of the total cost of ownership to rent instead. In particularly 'hot' housing...

The problem with the viewpoint of those who are against letting the Market determine the SUV issue is that they have seemed to forgotten what the Market is . . . . . it is the actions of millions of individual people determining what choices they make based upon what they determine is right for...

This has probably already been posted earlier (I didn't have time to read through all 9 pages of replies) but let the MARKET determine what people buy. - - Politicians love to apply the 'do something' syndrome when the voters are screaming at them. (Funny how they weren't complaining a few...
