Canadian citizens got their money back from MFGlobal right away, Americans might never..

I've been saying that Republicans need to go after the minority votes. I can even give them the ammo to start fighting with. I really am starting to think that they are racists and don't want to go there. I heard a Latino woman that called in to a talk show. She said that she has thirty...

Kudos!! Thank you for that reality based analysis!! That is the kind of work we need more of on ET.

but small businesses are subcontractors for big business..

Boehner is talking about putting off any decision for a year!

This idea can work. I buy everything from Amazon, I wonder if I can find out what state I'm dealing with... I recall when Colorado voted against homosexual marriage and the homos called for a boycott. I was spending my annual budget for a lab that I supervised at the time. I spent it all in...

California just went over it's fiscal cliff. Voters passed an amendment to tax the high earners and the makeup of the legislature changed so the Democrats have a super-majority, the 2/3 needed to pass any tax increase without asking the voters. Democrats just don't acknowledge that there is...

I just can't get over how stupid people on the left are. Redistribution of wealth is a colossal failure everywhere it's tried, over many centuries so far. It's going to fail in the US as well. Our leaders are not going to balance the budget, they are not going to pay off the debt. The can is...

Whites feel inadequate. They defeated us Indians by using guns and massive waves of immigration essentially. No way were they going to go after us with bows and arrows and stone spears and stuff like that. I'm part Indian, on my maternal grandfathers' side. I just feel more adequate when I...

I didn't even bother to vote.. Apparently California's Prop 37 was defeated by Monsanto's money... The biggest GMO crops are corn and soy so I don't eat those.. but it's hard to pass up some corn bread.. with butter.. and with, wow.. some jelly, and maybe some honey..

LOL, it's from the Huffington Post..

I can't take this!!! Farewell cruel world!! [leaps from basement window...]

Reporters at tabloids get some pictures of famous people then make up stories to go along with the pictures. Conspiracy theorists gather info about a situation and then make up stories about it.

The software used to place the trade could have checked for problematic size, price, or risk

I thought the donkeys handled the situation rather well!

Socialism usually isn't bad for the wealthy. It's bad for the middle class and it's bad for anybody collecting a paycheck. People that collect a paycheck are easy to tax. You know where to find them and you can insert yourself into their income stream such that you get the money out of them...

It seems possible that Romney wins in a landslide. I made the observation in '08 that Obama's views, when broken down into thirty or so categories of political issues, were so out of synch with so many people on both sides of the aisle that over time he would gore everybody's ox. That is why he...

Yes, of course! People are essentially good, angelic nearly.. so there is never any need to put limits on their behaviour.

yes, and banks were owned by the public. The voters got the benefits of interest payments. We had a candidate for president about 1980 or so.. he was going to print one big coin, call it equal to all that was owed to the Federal Reserve and use it to pay off the debt. Then he was going to...

jealous? The public sector is the most greedy of all. Currently all the public sector budgets add up to more than half the GNP in the US. The public sector never has enough money. I am quite certain that if they had the entire GNP going through their sticky fingers that it would not be enough.
