Agreed and its time that people started calling these people out for what they are. They have no problem playing hardball in order to advance their agenda but conservatives play it safe and nice. This isn't about paying for the financial bailout as they say. This isn't about shutting down...

Every trader and capitalist needs to realize that this is what you get when you elect power hungry leftists and Democrats. These people will do anything to keep themselves in power which means they are always looking for more revenue to redistribute. That is how they get elected. Scourge...

My recommendation: Keep your day job and don't plan on quitting any time soon. Take the vast majority of your money and put it into a very balanced asset allocation strategy that includes a large amount of bonds and inflation heges and a smaller amount of market exposure. This way while your...

I am not a member, but I would think a pay site like Big Mike's might be the best bet. Is anyone a member there? Recommendations? I think having to pay a small nominal fee might keep a lot of the rif-raf out

Yes, the boomers will not go down without a fight. They voted to keep taxes low and spending high all of their working lives, and now they are nearing retirement/retired, they will fight tooth and nail to make sure entitlement spending stays high and taxes go up on the higher tax brackets...

Everything, including all of those health care benefits that you listed has to be payed for by someone. Obama just shifted more of that cost to employers and their highest earning employees. That us just cost shifting. So far Obama has been HORRIBLE for job creation and for real household...

That's easy for you to say. I am an employer. We cover over 25 employees and their families. Last year our rates went up by 53% with our original carrier. We shopped it and settled on a different insurer, with a 35% increase. We ate most of it, but our employees had to pick up some...

The income tax increases are for those making >$450-400k. The payroll tax holiday expired for everyone

Are there any specific returns for this lady's fund? From what I remember, they were being EXTREMELY vague when talking about her returns and focused more on how much capital the fund had, which included a large amount of raised capital.

This is what the American people want. They want deficit spending despite what they claim. Any time you talk about specific cuts people come unglued when "their program" is on the chopping block. They certainly would rather have their pork than control the deficit and the politicians love...

Is there a way to short that projection?

I'm skeptical as well. Who hands millions over to a "trading team" made up of a couple of former CPA's and a lawyer that met at a freaking trading seminar? This whole thing smells fishy to me....

I believe that employers have to pay at least 60% of the premium costs.

Well, sort of..... But really they will pass it on to their customers. In effect, you and I and everyone on here (the US consumer) were benefiting from lower prices on products and services in industries that are low profit margin. Also, many young families were avoiding the cost of...

No one really knows all the ramifications (good or bad). There are always many unintended consequences with things like this. Certainly not all businesses are created equal, yet this law acts as if they are. For instance, low per-employee profit margin businesses such as restaurants...

This is simply not going to happen while the Republicans control the House, but traders on this board better get off their *ss and make sure that they take the Senate in 2014 and the White House in 2016. If they Dems ever gain control of all 3 like they had in 2008, they will look to pass a...

This is true. The US (and the rest of the world for that matter because they are tied to us via reserve currency), are trapped in a reflation/deflation scenario currently. When things don't look good, everyone is flocking to $USD, treasuries, etc. When the worry fades, the liquidity-based...

I agree. This is widely known, but clearly it's still used by partisan hacks that have agendas built around massive wealth distribution. Krugman would be the "people's economist" in a communist regime and love every minute of the propaganda distribution.

So Krugman thinks that it was high tax rates on the rich that made our middle class grow in the 50's and not the fact that most of the rest of the developed world's manufacturing base had been decimated by WWII?? He is more of a hack than I thought.
