Where's the change? LMAO!

Libertad; At this moment, the USD is the tallest midget in a room filled with midgets. But USD is beyond being pulled out by the consumer. The gears are spinning and they are well greased. Within the next 6 months or so, US will require 2T of fresh capital. (1.2T before a new stimulus...

The link and image is broken. I have not seen what you are referring to. With that in mind, in association with the title of the thread "Can -fill in the blank- print it's own money?" the answer is Yes! So long as both a buyer and seller agree on a form of currency, a "price", and a method of...

Mark your calendars boys! 01/13/2009 Regarding a Securities Transaction Tax (STT) of some sort, still unknown. Landis82 says the item won't make it to a vote, and if it does, it won't pass. obama-lama says implementation of STT/STT-like "fee" by the SEC, CFTC, or other oversight...

You jack-ass. What part of "nothing new" in my original post don't you understand? And once again, ET proves to be loaded with illiterate self-righteous jack-asses. obama-lama

Smart or dumb doesn't matter. Do you really think CME (Chicago) is going to get government APPROVAL and SUPPORT into the multi-trillion OTC-clearing market without giving up something(s)? STT is a gift in that case. Your confidence is misplaced. You need to have confidence in yourself to do...

Securities Transaction Tax (STT) is coming. Nothing new. Now being propelled by the very State that has already lost the most based on taxation of financial services and in the future will lose the most by enabling such tax. But just think of the blue-light specials. First Quarter Special...

They will jump in to help!! The prime minister said 2008 would be remembered as the year in which "the old era of unbridled free market dogma was finally ushered out". http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/jan/01/gordon-brown-new-year-message If free markets are "finally ushered out"...

UK is following in the wrong footsteps! :eek: Excerpt from an unknown origin: "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will...

You guys don't get it! History is repeating. In keeping with current "citings" in this thread :( , excerpts from Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_pound The gold standard was suspended at the outbreak of the war, with Bank of England and Treasury notes becoming...

(what,where,when) the trillion is not political?? LOL! In the future, please engage brain before posting!

Obama the "real deal" LOL! Firstly, the legislative branch of government determines how these funds are "distributed". Reminder: "Distribution" is not "usage". Need any examples? Secondly, YOU need to think of the "unintended consequences" of "usage". For example, an easy one: A lot of...
