Obamacare is huge gift to health insurance companies. -- Demand for healthcare will increase dramatically. -- Very little increase in supply. -- No effective way to control costs. End Result: massive increases in health insurance premiums. Can you hear that cackling? That's the...

Too bad the choices are so abysmal. Bush and Obama -- dumb and dumber. Obama and Romney -- dumber and dumberer. Politics has reached a point where nobody competent wants the job. The economists gave Obama a "C" and Romney a "D." Not much of a choice. Time to move to Australia.

They're paying retail for cars? They should send my wife to negotiate the deal. We got our VOLT on a cheap lease because GM can barely give these cars away. My wife likes the car and it's fine for running errands and getting the kids to and from school, but it's basically a $25k car on which...

Denmark's Margrethe Vestager has been consistently against the FTT. She's made several public statements over the past year saying that the FTT will hurt the economy/jobs and pensions.

Ninety-nine percent of the financial system's problems were caused by the repeal of Glass-Steagall. Glass-Steagall was the law that separated regular banking activities (taking deposits and making loans) from investment activities. In a bi-partisan act of insanity (90-8 in the Senate and...

The financial transaction tax being pushed by democrats isn't just bad for traders, it's bad for everyone. http://financialtransactiontaxes.com/

http://contact-us.state.gov/app/ask/session/L3RpbWUvMTM0OTAxNDA1MC9zaWQvRUNDOWp5N2w%3D Everyone on this forum should send a respectful email of support to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the above link. Thank her for opposing the FTT. Under "Topic" select "Messages of Support"...

There's nothing whacko about a trader voting for a Republican this election. Many democrats support the financial transaction tax (FTT) that would put traders like me out of business. Harkin, Defazio and Elllison have all introduced transaction tax legislation. Obama has expressed support for...

The party's over. When Europe implodes and Asia's economy contracts a couple of years from now we'll have world-wide economic chaos unlike any seen before.

Thanks for posting. Great article. Obama and Romney are perfect examples of partisan hacks that we are forced to choose between.

My dad has prostate cancer. His oncologist said that testosterone is "fuel" that feeds prostate cancer. He described it as "pouring gasoline on a fire."

Under most circumstances I wouldn't vote for either of these two crappy candidates. I will end up voting for Romney and Republicans on the basis of one issue only -- the financial transaction tax (FTT) that will put traders like me out of business. Many democrats are eager for the FTT and the...

I posted a complaint at the site. To their credit, they re-posted my responses and perhaps yours, too. Take a look and see if it's there.

My response was posted -- for about 5 minutes and then deleted. The Nation Magazine hates opposing points of view. Typically they'll leave up one or two to give the appearance of fairness, but the rest will be deleted.

Just imagine what would happen if a Republican did any of the things that Warren is accused of doing. The news media would be screaming it across the headlines. Democrats would be demanding disbarment followed by a lynching, followed by a public beheading. But since she's a democrat...

A 220 volt charge takes about 4 hours if the battery is down to the bare minimum. The last time I did the calculation I think it was $1.44 for a full charge.

My wife is the oldest of 5 sisters. Her youngest sister is a lesbian. She did not choose to be a lesbian any more than she chose to have blue eyes or be left-handed. That's her DNA. As a little girl she wanted to be like all the other girls -- grow up, meet Mr. Right, get married, have...

The Volt's range in electric mode depends largely on two things: (1) terrain; (2) weather (heating and air conditioning). On flat terrain with no air conditioning or heating running in the car my wife gets about 36-37 miles range in all electric mode. On hilly terrain with air conditioning...

The Volt is not a pure electric vehicle, but it's pretty close. It burns less than a gallon of gas a month the way my wife drives it.

Oh, come on... I hope you're kidding. You buy subsidized products every time you shop in a grocery store. And thanks for asking... it's a been a very safe and reliable car for her and the kids.
