Realistically, how many people can just get up and move across the world? Even worse, alot of previous destinations are unraveling in a major way...

It's a good question...My guess would be (knowing full well just how liberal, corrupt and union the state of Illinois is), that they had a handful of politicians in their pockets that gave them taxpayer financed concessions, probably figured out ways to "convince" them not to re-locate back...

That's a very good synopsis, especially the part about Dubya...as he clearly did so much damage to the party that he enabled O's re-election. Like alot of others here, I think it's over. It's a given that we are going to have another economic debacle in the next four years. Entitlements...

It's the oldest trick in their book. Throw out an unrealistically low cost estimate, gain your support based on the projected "non-impact" to business and the economy...then when they "capture" your support, slowly unveil the real costs (or better yet, ignore them and pretend that there are no...

It's pretty much a given that whatever projections they use will be wildly offbase. It reminds me of every new liberal "sin tax" that I hear proposed to raise revenue...They just assume the populace will go to the same corner store and pay 50% more than they can get that same item in a...

That's been the overriding opinion which has led to neverending rounds of Quant Easing, suspension of MTM accounting for the big banks and God only knows how much "behind closed doors" trickery to keep the status quo in place. The thing is we are in worse shape, in many ways, right now than...

Says the retired atheist truck driver who spams the board multiple times a day with his relgion bashing threads. Does that sound like a mature adult?

Exactly. So this initial story is planted to assuage everyone's fears of just how much pain this will inflict on the economy...See, only 3.8 cents per pizza...but wait, it turns out that the cheese supplier, the bread supplier, the meat supplier all have these costs now as well. We rushed to...

I thought we were done with exGOPer after election night as well. Instead the sockpuppet came back to resurrect every election night thread in one fell swoop. Lately, I've been hoping that Baron sells the site and the new owner just shuts down the entire P&R section...

Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, to name a few...I'd be curious to find out how Peoria Ron would tip-toe around that bunch.

When you are an employee, this type of ideology makes sense...then you start a business, realize how much is at stake, how you can lose your entire business during any economic downturn and suddenly you find yourself literally working for the employees...after all, they all have a salary that...

And I think it strengthens Logic Man's point..i.e. there is absolutely no possible way to resolve the "left vs right" compromise or whatever else we want to call it. The fallout from the bursting of the credit bubble and the growth of the social safety net is pitting the "have's" vs have not's"...

He reminds me of a media pundit. I've seen the guy bitch and moan about rallies in the market and then imply that he was long the whole way up. When the market declines, he's been short the whole way down. The guy is a wind up doll.

He's a socialist hack collecting a public pension...

Ask Don about them. I think he spent some time at the CBOE, right Don...err Mr Bill?

It's not just me, Don. Add Max E Pad, Phoenix Trading, 377OHMS, Lucrum, Pspr...We all witnessed your ineptitude with "alias management" on two separate occasions. Not to mention that your m.o. is always the same. The whole "balanced and neutral" facade countered with a neverending stream of...

Even he admits that his brother is the brains in the family.

Seriously, one has to wonder what else you hide from the world. Are you a cross dresser?

Spike is like the drunk idiot at the end of the bar who is always yammering away at nobody in particular. After an hour or so, someone asks him "who the fuck are you talking to?" Am I the only one who notices that Spike almost never gets a reply...he just stumbles along and echoes whatever...

Not to worry, his approval ratings will play out just like the last time. At least last time he had umpteen rounds of Quant Easing to dull the pain of an economy gone awry...what's the encore to try and shovel it all under the rug?
