I'm not talking about the vast majority of businesses - - just those 'connected'. Unless youre one of the companies getting billion dollar TARP money, if you take a loss . . . youre just out of luck. The rules are different for them. - - And the rest of the productive business community will pay...

"Liberalism" in action. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=153527

Unfortunately, I don't think we can count on that for our salvation. It doesn't take any economic brains to bring on socialism or communism - - just a pen to write new laws, a propaganda machine to convince the majority that those laws are right, and guns to try to enforce it all. The old...

A perfect illustration that there are at least two completely different world views out there. - - The one puts its faith in individuals, the market, and business to produce benefits based upon one's efforts. The other puts its faith in the collective and trusts those in government to distribute...

"Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" - - the human capacity for self deception is absolutely amazing. People hear and see whats right before them . . . and make excuses and alter meaning in order to fit their own personal preconceived viewpoint.

I doubt O would fully understand the post. See thread "What would the Market do if they showed this before the opening bell ?"

It obvious that the Prez has Absolutely No Clue about the economy or economics. Whats your level of confidence now ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjaoJuAYnaI

Its evident whenever O speaks that he doesn't have a clue about the economy. He ends up using the same tactics as he did when an ACORN lawyer - obfuscation, intimidation (like when he stared down those asking tough questions in some of his news conferences), and lots of rah-rah-rah b.s. & empty...

The difference is that I can go to different medical insurance providers. I can go to different doctors with different approaches. I can even decide to pay out of pocket if I choose. - - - I'm not forced into a govt controlled monopoly. I'd like to see a program where individuals have choice...

When I heard Obama mention the use of medical info tracking & with the excuse of greater efficiency, my antenna went up. Just how much of a 'problem' is duplication of medical records and errors ? (And how efficient is the federal govt in how it conducts its actions.) This is just a means to...

I agree. - - All of this started with the manipulations of the Federal Reserve central bank that blew up the bubble and the 'bribe for votes' spending by the politicians. Combine this with increasingly dumbed down citizens that are ignorant of economics, their own history, & basic civics . . ...

It was appropriate that right before the speech was aired, the channel I watched ran an ad for "Obama collector plates" - - some kind of adoration trash with the image of the less than 1 month Pres on it. Pefect evidence that a big segment of the country is mentally challenged and/or nuts. They...

More actions by the politically motivated and sold to the clueless public who has little idea of what the markets, speculation, hedging, etc are all about. - - - It just points to an environment which guarantees that the financial center of gravity will shift further to the East. The Chinese...

The bankers needed 'stimulus'

Its early. And the real estate types tend to move slower than traders. They haven't got used to the idea that though "theyre not making any more land" the prices are still heading down. Their house isn't their 'biggest investment' and real estate doesn't always go up afterall. The Fed driven...

Another true believer ! "Steal & rape all you want . . . . as long as you have the right letter after your name (D or R)." "Wars are bad, - - - unless its my guys war. Excess spending is bad, - - - unless its my guys spending." What a perfect sucker for a con.

I agree with a lot of what you said - - - except that pols do what they think is best . . . For Them . . . for the next election. This is not restricted to one party over the next one, they both are guilty. - - Unfortunately, that usually means short term actions over what is best for the...

O tried to use the same tactics that he used for years as an ACORN lawyer - - - intimidation and slick talk/style. - - The problem is that he has no business experience and an anti-business left leaning political philosophy. Unfortunately, these types don't get that government doesnt produce...

Could it possibly be . . . that more Republicans were willing to go before the cameras to point out specific examples of politically motivated pork (rather than true stimulus),in this bill - - - rather than Dems willing to openly defend that pork ? (Other than Pelosi with her warning about...

Amazing how the True Believers rant and rave and support 'their side' while getting screwed over by whomever is in office no matter if they have a D or R after their name. And the game goes on . . . . . just keep the rubes focused on the stage . . while their pockets are being picked. Those...
