    Scew the children, Save the McMansions

    Look simple fact is, there are places where the stand of living is significantly higher than in the US. It may be hard to believe for some of you but they do exist. For example Norway.Whether on PPP or nominal basis its GDP per capita is higher. Would you be interested in what kind of health...

    Joe Biden with Katie Couric

    Because democratic party was being destroyed that is why. Joe Biden had presidential ambitions as well. If you are in a questionable (competitive) district OR you have presidential ambitions you would be inclined to vote for it. As I said the country was mentally ill back then and bush had all...

    Joe Biden with Katie Couric

    The country was mentally ill in 2001-2003(4) roughly. George W went from somebody whose intelligence was satirized to King Leonidas overnight. Insanely high 90%+ support ratings, don't question the president (or the troops) it is unpatriotic (even though it was exactly what congress is supposed...

    Joe Biden with Katie Couric

    Yes it was not FDR that was present when the crash happened but the person who got the country through it (or through most of it) would of course be FDR. In reality it is a non starter. Biden was tapped to be a foreign policy expert. No deceit there. Nobody in the right mind would say Palin...

    5% - 10% profit per day trading

    It is possible to make 300%-500% per week (or 2-4 days sometimes) trading options without day trading. Everything has to be right though.

    Surprise Surprise

    What does journal section do? Let's say someone picks the time direction, magnitude of movement of 10 (or more) stocks in a row correctly. Does he or she get a cookie or something? Or some respect?

    Scew the children, Save the McMansions

    Point by point. Mandatory education was not introduced in the USA until the LATER part of the 19th century... So way beyond continental congress. Many schools suck but do you honestly believe every private school or charter school is perfect? People that oppose public education always look at...

    Scew the children, Save the McMansions

    Why is universal healthcare such a controversial subject in the US? We have Universal (and free) K-12 education. What can be more common sense than having a healthy population? An ill worker is not an efficient worker (or creative one...) Back in the day, there used to be a "free market"...

    Bold prediction about FFH

    You will find my explanation a bit strange but here it goes. I am actually in a position of 2 october 30 puts of James River Coal Co (symbol JRCC) The reasoning is as follows. I only had like 500 cash to begin with. So I bought them yesterday and today they increased by $300 dollars( I bought...

    Forget Partisanship-Neither Party Understands Markets

    I call bull. The last democratic president before Clinton was Carter. He went on national tv and told the truth about economy and other things and was perceived as weak subsequently (the "mailaise" speech) Clinton did not have to give any Malaise speeches because he presided over an economy that...

    Bold prediction about FFH

    Correction: The stock actually closed at 291.13 so my prediction was off by only 1.13. Updated stats are it lost 30.92 or 9.60% in one day.

    Forget Partisanship-Neither Party Understands Markets

    I am a political junkie and you are barking up the wrong tree. In January all the major (Republican though not Ron Paul perhaps) presidential candidates were laughing off any possibility of a strong down turn for the economy in the presidential debates and were mocking democrats for spreading...

    Bold prediction about FFH

    What nobody noticed my bold prediction made ahead of time? -28.93 (or 8.98%) made in one day. I was off by 3 dollars and change from my prediction of 290. On a stock that used to cost 300+ that is an error of 1 percent or less.

    Economic woes and "bailout bill" halting election campaigns

    I have been mentally preparing myself for McCain presidency since the end of February. It is over. The debates will be filled with demagoguery and Joe Biden wont be able to dismantle Sarah palin for fear of being called sexist.

    CEO Compensation Limits

    If you ask for a loan(or help of any kind) the person giving you money can frequently demand certain concessions. That is perfectly legal and capitalistic. It would be obscene to allow "golden parachutes" for executives that essentially driven companies into the ground and now want taxpayer help.
