Get used to it. It's true, it's true, it's true.

AAA brings up a good point. One of the original checks and balances was the ability of an individual state to tell Washington D.C. ----NO! The states were sovereign entities joined in a union of weak power. That was effectively ended with the Civil War which began the present system of...

It's nothing new. FEMA already has that power. http://www.wealth4freedom.com/FEMA.html

It has been quite a bit longer than six years. The amount of inflation in America is staggering. In 1913, the year that the Federal Reserve Act was passed, $100 was worth $2030 in 2006 dollars, which means that the purchasing power of money has been eroded almost twenty fold in a little over 90...

quote from eagle488: Last, but not least, was the video of the B-52 bomber flying around the skies on synthetic gasoline. Can you imagine all the airplanes at John F. Kennedy doing the same thing? Maybe this is a bullish sign for the airlines? If that B-52 can fly around on synthetic gasoline...

640 brake horse power? How do they keep tires on it?

fwiw: I demo'ed iqfeed with neoticker and had trouble with a hole in the previous days data when I opened my charts in the morning. The holes were repairable but no one seemed to know why it was a recurring problem. I tried Qcharts next and after the demo period with no problems I went with...

Good question TA4ME. As is frequently the case in inefficient American policy , the answer to why France does nuclear energy so much better than the US lies in politics. France uses breeder reactors that use less and produce more with fewer and less potent by products. This is an excerpt from...

This is one of the best statements I have seen on ET. Aspenboy, "The Psychology of Risk" by Ari Kiev is a great addition to Douglas. Good thoughts on learning how to embrace risk and monitor emotions during trading. It has been a big help to me.

There are three kinds of lies:Lies, damned lies and statistics. (usually attributed to Mark Twain but probably from Benjamin Disraeli or L.H. Courtney) The link is to an interesting article on how the government determines the inflation rate. It is all smoke and mirrors...

It's obvious that the information will never be abused, especially if no one knows it is being collected.

Just trying to give some useful ideas here. Domestically produced ethanol from sugar wouldn't face import duties and whatever other political impediments might exist. Plus it is now a politically correct endeavor to produce ethanol, mostly as a perc to the ag voting bloc since the government...

canyonman00, You have generated an interesting topic here and although it seems to have died off somewhat , it nevertheless has been in the back of my mind for some time now. I had an idea that might interest you for an ethanol facility. What about sugar beets instead of cane? Assuming...

Theodore Roosevelt said it best: “It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust, and sweat and blood, who...

If you are in an HMO it is certainly the case that choice is restricted. I can however see whomever I prefer. As far as my opening comment, I take umbrage with your statement that given the opportunity, you would force me into a program not of my own choosing. I usually won't get into...

Support for Universal Healthcare is not the mark of communism. Mandatory compliance to government mandate is however. It is in fact the hallmark of communist philosophy. Just because 75% of Americans support the idea doesn't make it a good one. The majority of the electorate still...
