Uh-oh... I'm sensing another quagmire driven by the "big hat no cattle" crowd. Heck, they feel manly bombing stuff until they realize that when you break stuff you own it. I guess we will own the moon and all the headaches associated with it. Unless the moon people greet us like...

Marx was great at diagnosing the problem. Like a doctor that figures out not only what the disease is, but how it will ultimately progress. This, he was good at. Unfortunately, his cure never quite worked. He naively thought that his solution would not involve an eventual self interested...

They are the MOST productive. Who else will pick up the trash, mop the floors, clean the streets, cook your steak? We can't all be tapping on computer keys.

You're right about the reset Scataphagos. I and many others get wound up easily about what's been going on. But the reality is, it doesn't really matter. The system is so huge, the issues so massive, that it's unmanageable. It will just collapse under it's own weight and things will start...

They pay a lot in federal taxes. But mostly indirectly. Many drive, so they pay gas taxes. Same with food and cigarettes, and many other items. Fed and state taxes are always cost shifted down to the consumer. I would guess that ultimately they pay a higher amount in taxes in proportion...

Zdreg - I understand your concern, but: The few that will be gainfully employed in the next ten years will be supporting family members that are not employed. Have you seen India or China? You have three generatons living under one roof, and maybe 1-2 wage earners supporting everyone...

1+1=2 It doesn't equal 3, or 50. No matter how much you hope it does. That said. I'm sure you are aware of the fed govt's budget issues. The states and most municipalities are not too far behind. Money in, money out, debt service. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure...

What about all those senior citizens against the public option? They were in those town halls and marched in Washington. How dare the government socialize medicare!!!! Dumbass wingnuts.

No need to. We spend more on our military than the next ten major countries combined. How much have we spent on keeping troops abroad since WWII? What is our "foreign aid" to our client states such as Egypt, Turkey and Israel? Add it all up. 'nuf said. Regarding the US being an Agrarian...

Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan are not costs of empire? Massive bases in Germany and South Korea? Sounds like the headaches of Rome and the UK to me.

The wealth held in the US was grossly overblown due to leverage. Every time someone got a HELOC or used their credit card, someone else got rich. Same with banks with securitization of debts. I agree, that's not a transfer of wealth - it's a correction. The transfer I allude to is regarding...

How shocking. Actually, before Mohammed, weren't all Palestinians jewish too?

Shut the fuck up you drama queen and think for a moment. If you don't have health insurance and you get sick and get rushed into the emergency room, what will you tell the doctor? Will you expect to be treated? Will I have to pay for your sorry ass, or will you tell the doctor to do...

I read this article already and it just goes to show you how pathetic the MSM is. And scared too. When the financial blogosphere, comedians such as Jon Stewart, and a journalist from Rolling Stone, Taibbi, are more credible than CNBC cheerleaders and other MSM sources - it's no surprise...

Why did god make sex so overwhelmingly enjoyable over any other human activity.... and then add a bunch of restrictions such as how to have sex, number of partners, can't pay for it, etc...

Good for them. Those Brazilians know how to throw a party.

The real fantasy/fiction is assuming that things will be business as usual. We are witnessing a significant amount of historical watershed events. A new world is being born right in front of our eyes. The global transfer of wealth that is occuring right now is unprecedented. It's a...

You also said: "Just the same, if the world had a viable option for an alternative reserve currency it would have already been implemented after the events of the past year." These things don't happen overnight. First you hear of "leaked" grumblings by lower level Chinese officals about...

It's plentiful, and many vehicles today run on it. It's the extraction that's the issue. Especially the deep, difficult stuff. It's very intensive work, as I said before. Hydrofraking and horizontal drilling are quite destructive and use A LOT of water. I have heard that people living...

Agreed, but I think it's you that's using the corazon and not the cabeza. 5 years time? I said it would be slow after all.
