Re-election. That's Obama's only motivation for not destroying Wall St

Wall street owns this country, period. We have the best politicians money can buy, and wall street has all the money. It's sad actually. I'm a free market guy and certainly not a lefty, but I could respect Obama more if he was actually for "change". Instead, he is just like all other...

We are no where near replacing our income tax with a consumption tax. If anything, they might try to backdoor a VAT on top of income tax.

Wrong. Politicians like, scratch that, LOVE to be re-elected. When their constituents make a fuss, they listen. Look no further than health care recently and immigration reform a couple years back. Both of these things looked like they were going to be crammed through and likely would...

The list is long and includes virtually all politicians on both sides of the isle in the past 20 years. I will exclude Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton, who actually were fairly fiscally responsible. Other than that, I can't think of ANYONE (relevant) in Washington who has shown great...

They're going to have a hard enough time just passing a watered down HC bill. I agree that it's unlikely they would try to attach it to that. It seems like between Chi and NYC, this wouldn't go too far with the Dems.

This may have already been posted, but here is a good site that you can sign a petition and it then it will email a copy to your congressman and both senators (US obviously). http://www.rallycongress.com/no2tradertax/1536/tell-congres-to-block-trader-tax/ Probably worth posting again and...

Most people lack the discipline required to actually save enough for their retirement via 401k, IRA, Roth's, etc. However, SS has morphed into a governmental pension plan, rather than the intened purpose of being a safety net. If you're not disciplined enough to save, you might be forced...

Let me tell you. If Palin runs again, she won't look/sound anything like she did last year. She wasn't ready then, but will be by 2011 if she runs. But yes, your general point, of putting up a really weak candidate like McCain is hard to overcome. I would argue that he was the weaker...

If joblessness continues, it will be a blood bath for Dems in 2010 and Obama will be a one term President.

Yes and multi-national corporations like GE, J&J etc are all for these things and laughing all the way to the bank. Eliminate the competition from small companies and start ups.

The modern political "liberal" (US) is actually not liberal at all except for socially. They champion the destruction of all moral/religous/cultural values and judgements. So in that regard they are very liberal. They are strongly opposed to capitalism, the right to bear arms and freedom of...

Ah, many leftists have seized power permanently, after being voted in democratically. That is very hard to do in the US, but I have no doubt that Obama would love to do it if he thought he would get away with it.

Nice try. You are definitely a Liberal posing as a conservative, saying rediculous things in order to make the Republicans look bad. GOP_trader......LOL

Arnold bears all responsibility. The CA state representatives are constantly looking for ways to cut spending, eliminate waste and improve governmental efficiency. These politicians are the brightest and most honest on the planet, and work diligently to solve the issues of their...

Zombie Mall..... At what point in the build out of this place do you think that guy thought "Oh F*ck!!!"

Not really sure how this became a US/China war thread, but out of curiosity, what in his post is inaccurate?

I believe Iraq tried this back in the early 90's as well.
