I think by far the solution to our energy problem that makes the most sense is nuclear. Build nuclear plants as fast as possible in the US. Nuclear energy is be far the cleanest on the planet (at this point). If we used nuclear for the vast majority of our home energy, we could then use our...

So we are occupying Japan, S. Korea, and Germany? Of course not, because those countries are pretty damn happy that they don't have to spend $$ on a military. We do have to spend the money, but in turn, we have bases all around the world, which is the trade off. Yes we are broke, but...

"Q (Townie): President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years.... A (McInsane): Maybe 100. We've been in Japan for 60 years. We've been in South Korea for 50 years or so. That'd be fine with me. As long as Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed. It's fine...

Exactly. People forget that Bush was RE-ELECTED after his first term.

KrazyKarl, Please explain why you think fiat currency is good. Thanks,

This is based on fiction.

I think that increasnow is associated with ET and constantly posts questions, to stimulate discussions. I just can't believe that his questions are serious. I base that on how long he has been posting here and the "beginner" level of most of his questions. Also, his questions bounce around...

I agree that things aren't that bad right now and most people are f*cking pussies, but it's the things that you just described that have gotten us into this mess........... big homes (too big for most people, a few weeks of unemployment away from foreclosure) people buying new cars every 3...

It confuses me a little as well. Maybe because there just isn't anything else that people feel good about???? Real estate.......nope Stocks........nope US$........nope maybe people fee like the commodity bubble will be bursting soon.

I didn't read the link, but I completely agree with those points. It seems like common sense that greater liquidity would make a market more efficient.

I'm not buying the wind thing yet, but I guess I'd rather have money flowing into GE/T. Boone's pocket, than a Suadi prince's robe?????

Yes, Kudlow is now calling for rate increases. He has been for a couple of months now.

I think federal, state and local government workers should go to a 5-day, 10-hour workweek, to reduce taxes and governmental spending. That's how much most people in the private sector work and they can get fired at any time. Of course, this would never happen, but it's nice to dream.

Ouch..........Busted!

So which is it ByLoSellHi, do you want to reinvest in badly needed infrastructure as you said in your earlier post, or do you want to reduce overall spending and taxes? Seems like you're a little conflicting here.

I agree. I think ZB is going lower soon. I think it is panic from the recent market tank that has ZB going up. Anyway, I'm short bonds, so I might be slightly impartial.

Absolutely. With one party you have tax and spend..... with the other it's borrow and spend...... DISGUSTING!!!!

There will be no "block buster" drugs for Pfizer any time soon, unless they acquire someone else. Their pipline is empty....

I agree that optionsXpress was horrible for futures trading. I hope that OEC was purcashed for their platform, charting, etc.

Inflation?
