"I surrender" sounded pretty good a couple of times in the 20th century, though......:D

Exactly. That makes no sense. If you're really worried about rising commodity prices, why would the tax rate for equities by 10x that of futures contracts? Also, I love how people who have no clue about how markets work, absolutely detest "short sellers" on stocks, etc, but then they turn...

This guy is just embarrassing himself at this point. If the Republicans can nominate ANYONE with a pulse (clearly not another McCain), Obama will be a 1-term President.

There is plenty of blame to go around for where we are at today, including both sides of the isle and the past two FED's, but Obama was there voting for it the whole way. But that's not the worst part. It's what he's doing going forward that is so ridiculous. *Out of control spending that...

And yet a baby born today in the US can plan on living to be 100. Oh we have it so rough..... As to the original point, you have people with degrees making $10/hr and you have people w/o high school diplomas making $$millions. It's still out there in the US if you want to go get it. But...

The more I think about this, the more confidence I have that it won't gain too much support. The Dems are having a hell of a time passing the things that they REALLY care about like health care reform and cap & tax. Next year (2010 election) is setting up as a bloodbath for Dems, so...

Didn't these guys get the memo? The data has been rigged all along. It's bogus data and therefore this debate needs to start from scratch with real/legit scientific data.

Nothing says F*CK YOU!!!!!!!! like taking a private plane to a climate change meeting. These people are unbelievable. Also, it's no wonder that they are doing in this in a city known for it's prostitution.

You've got me wrong. I'm definitely an anti-Obama guy and a staunch Republican (more of a conservative actually), but you have to admit that he hasn't exactly had an easy set of circumstances to deal with. Neither did Bush, btw. They've both had a lot on their plates, compared to many...

Every couple of weeks someone in the US wins the powerball or megamillions. Although the odds are horrible, I doubt they are worse than taking $58 into $5.8mm

I listened to his PA speech yesterday. He sounded like a complete moron on the subject of economics. He has lost a lot of his "mojo" when giving speeches. Not sure if he's rattled because the reality of the job and the horrible cards that he has been dealt, but he doesn't seem to have as...

This says it all about American politics that Biden can earn the #2 spot, and Pelosi can be the #3 heavy weight in this country................ if it wasn't true, you couldn't believe this crap.

No, and even more ridiculous, is that the Chamber of Commerce was NOT invited.... They dared to not support Obama's health care reform, so he said, F YOU.

Unfortunately you're right. Most Republicans aren't smart enough to keep their eyes on the stuff that really matters. Sad really.

I agree that it's unlikely to pass. Look at how motivated they are to pass an entitlement and they're finding it very difficult. The Republicans would have a field day with this type of thing and with the 24 hour news cycle, Fox and talk radio, they could certainly get the word out, that this...

With Pelosi and Obama, we're more likely to get both, rather than go to a 15% consumption only tax. In fact, most Republicans would probably prefer that as well.

with such low capital, I'd bet against you lasting long in futures. There really is no great answer when you have no money.

Pick your poison? Have you seen North Korea? If you had your choice between living in N. Korea and S. Korea, which would it be? God this site has some dumb ass people.

You need +100,000 just to keep up with demographic changes, in order to keep the unemployment rate flat.

the Congressional Democrats are marching down the path towards political suicide by cramming health care reform down our throats, so I wouldn't put anything past them.
