No. If America defaults, it will be a fundamental shift in the world. If America defaults, WWIII is a fait accompli. That is if it has not already started.

+1 Welfare crushed us. People who objected were thrown under the bus. It was a classic Trojan Horse. It was a master stroke really, and as a student of war I have to give the creators of welfare a certain degree of credit. If the mind enslaved, there is no need for chains.

U do know this argument of spending is purely academic, don't you? We are well past the event horizon. This plane is going to land hard, what we need to do is prepare emergency crews for survivors, if any. But we have the GOP and the dems throwing stones at each other about which way the runway...

Absolutely it does. We have smart folks tearing down other smart folks on the left and the right. Obama, is Bush lite, who was Reagan lite. You do not see this?

As Mr. Spock once said, "the needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few, or the one".

My most difficult trade is always the first one of the week. It's funny, but after I take a loss or two, I seem to settle in.

This happened on 3/11? Seriously. Wow. Something to think about.

U are near the target imo stu. The problem is that people confuse religion( which is loosely translated as to tie together) with spirituality. If you feel a firm connection to something it generates healthy benefits. It is the disconnection that is harmful. Saints and super criminals may well be...

I think you are making the error of attempting to objectify something inherently abstract. People and their faith is an abstract concept. But it is one that has measurable benefits, apparently. So, if you truly believe Leprechauns will take you to that pot of gold, then it has positive health...

Belief in a higher power has definite and conclusive health effects. Losing one's faith and definite and conclusive health effects as well.

They consume. It is what drives our economy. Consumption. They are also likely to invest. Which helps as well. But primarily, they consume.

In Illinois, there are wind farms going up left and right, it has not abated out debt burden. Let me give u an example, If the the state taxed CAT anymore than it already does, CAT will move. This will not only decimate Peoria, but it will hurt the surrounding counties. Most manufacturers here...

777 Ive been rethinking this trickle down thing. I live in a very hard hit state, and they just raised taxes on us again. Now, if they tax the rich( which is pretty much any professional), then what is to stop the rich from simply moving? Eventually, there comes a threshold for pain. We...

The bailout had to happen, the banks had seized up after lehman fell. They were in survival mode. They control the money, and we have to have it. No credit, and it is fubar for all. We should not have let Lehman fall. That was an error. The Captain is stating what needs to be stated...

Im saying that I am a loyal follower of Rush, Hannity, Beck, Olberman(before he bit it), Matthews and Maddow. The truth is always somewhere in the middle, and yes, I did write that to get ur attention. We have to let go of the two party system, it is there to divide and conquer. I finally...

I see Redneck and NoDoji has gotten a hold on you. Follow them and you will be fine.

And that lack of thoroughness my friend is the reason why, ultimately, this mentality that you a very few of your brethren share will only be known about in the history books that deign to give you space in their documents.

You will find if you talk to other people from other cultures, that Americans are nihilistic. Survival is no longer an issue. Materialism is our God. We are disconnected as a general rule. We think tweets and texts are a substitute for a real relationship.

+1 Every other day, in the real world, I am a conservative or a liberal. Never a libertarian, I think that our populace does not understand the concept.

No. Buchanan will turn once he gets some power. He will go the far, far right. Dobbs would be surrounded by a hostile Congress, and since the people have a lot of bread, and even more circuses, they will not notice. My personal leaning fit that of Ghandi, so the last poly sci test told...
