But think about it for a minute. One of the main reasons WHY those two i-banks were such a problem was because their counter-parties were the TBTF institutions with the depositor's funds at risk. You don't think that was their ultimate bluff? The "cross-contagion" of even one bad actor with...

Just to add to this discussion... IMO, the repeal of GS created the "arm's race" that set the stage for the 2008 crisis. Combine the consolidation of many regional banks with the supreme confidence of TBTF bailouts "i.e. 1998" and you are left with alot of bad actors.

Exactly.

Exactly, but this follows the same sort of bullshit we've seen over the past few years. They turn "hawkish" at a perceived target (or if oil prices get too hot), then within a few months they reverse course and go back into hyper inflate mode. The f'd up thing is that people fall for it over...

Ignorance strikes again. Most Mexicans have strong religious values (i.e. they are in allignment with most conservatives). OTOH, Mexican gangs and black gangs compete for the same turf. (i.e. there is a very real conflict at work there).

This guy [futurecurrents] is a brainwashed, ignorant, rah rah communist fuck-nut. He is so out-there as to seem to be a caricature of a dumb-fuck, trained on command propogandist. It's like you can't even make up the shit that he comes up with and say it with a straight (as opposed to the goat...

Says the guy who has placed 90% of his adversaries on the ignore list. What was that little tidbit about "self-esteem" again? Yeah, I thought so.

Get a fucking clue already.

No difference. The script was written, these guys just read the lines.

The media and the big power players just will not allow a third party to gain any prominence. If there were ever a time that a third party had one helluva a shot it was these past two elections...but guess what, it's too damn profitable to have an "either or" scenario.

Yes, I've referenced this many times in my posts. The political m.o. is to bailout their "benefactors" via generous welfare to keep consumer consumption a constant. That's also the intent of the ridiculously generous public sector pensions...i.e. no need to save a dime if you can earn your...

It makes zero sense considering "replacement cost" should be cheaper than 5+ years ago.

Yes, and the apologists only consider "wage inflation" as a major concern.

ok, I'll concede that you've put in your time, etc... Yet, I've really failed to see any evidence in the past few months that you lean conservative on just about any issue. The fact that you are so quick to throw a grenade at anyone who isn't a liberal doesn't speak much to this claim you...

An admitted full blown liberal who spends most of his days and nights arguing on this site strikes you as a "businessman who works hard"? lol. What low standards you must have.

Let's ask AK how many of those murders were committed by whites, or better yet, maybe our resident imbecile, Nine Ender can explain to us how the city with strict gun control can have so many gun related murders.

Nice try dipshit. Provide evidence of the last time a majority of caucasians lit up and looted a large swath of a neighborhood.

That perfectly sums up my feelings on the subject. Unfortunately, we're all supposed to bow down and pay homage to this bullshit. Just imagine how batshit crazy the liberal loonies would go if there were a "straight" pride parade.

yep, a completely and utterly sanctimonious BLOWHARD. Congratulations.

Sadly, most women will vote based on "touchy feelies" and fringe issues as well. Granted, there are far more intelligent women out there than this old hag, Trendlover, but still...feelings trump logic with most women.
