Yes, most definitely. I've mentioned it on here a few times before, but I literally laughed at the absurdity back in 08-09 when the politico's did their whole song and dance about "saving" the student loan market, as it was so crucial for funding higher education costs...yada, yada...All it did...

"All he has done in life?" wtf kind of statement is that? Heck, all "anybody" basically does in this asset bubble economy is sell some POS company to the next highest bidder during our recurrent asset bubbles. More to the point, rebuilding the Dallas Mavericks from one of the worst teams...

Well 45 million of them are on food stamps. I don't know the formula, but I'd image that there are federal poverty guidelines and those who meet the criteria receive the assistance. Just another example of how "the social safety net" from Medicair/Medicaid, Student Loans, Fannie Mae...

IF prices regressed to the mean following weather related price spikes, your argument would have some validity. But that ain't the case now is it?

Basically every President for the past fifty years has been elected as a vote AGAINST his predecessor. Even in recent history, Obama sways independents as a "vote against Bush"; Bush "wins" the election as a vote against the Clinton admin's dirty dealings; Clinton wins the election during the...

Yeah, he lost his mind years ago. He spends countless hours a day running his pro-Obama propoganda here on ET. In fact, it's such a time consuming passion of his that he can't do his civic duty of sitting on a jury. You'd think that guy who lives on the dole with his Section 8 housing, food...

Inflation is a tax on the poor..so in that regard, he isn't doing them any favors whatsoever.

Just wait a few days. If the so-called "market" has taught us anything the past three years, things can change in an instant.

He's a textbook narcissist. In saner times, the guy would be a "Lester Holt" reading the nightly news with all of his blustering false gravitas.

Translation: 80% of welfare queens, Section 8 deadbeats and other parasites want higher taxes to support their gravy train of full state/federal benefits. In their minds, the "rich" stole their money and don't deserve it. Instead, they should get it for pumping out 10 kids and sitting on...

How much of his wealth was made OFF the floor? An honest question because as everyone knows the vast majority of locals have absolutely no ability to transfer their "edges" to an all electronic environment.

This might be a dumbass question, but bear with me... What are the odds that thiefs just start a black market in these batteries by simpling stealing them off existing cars parked on the streets? I know about the whole shitstorm with these guys ripping catalytic converters right off the...

It just speaks to the fact that there are alot of middle aged marginally employed (unemployed) folks in this country living in upside down houses (or foreclosed squatters) that are probably "on the fence" about jumping off a bridge to begin with (so the idea of "going out" while trying to snag...

We're onto QE3 and yet we ain't "creatin jobs". When we are at QE9 we'll still hear this familiar chorus. Just another round of QE will do da trick. It's structural, get over it already. There is far more than just stimulus money needed to turn this ship around. It's far bigger than that.

Now I have better understanding of the perch that you sit atop of...The key phrase "When new jobs start multiplying..." That is DOA. If anything the US, through all of its shenanigans in the past several years, has ensured that jobs are screaming out of here. They aren't coming back, not...

So if you don't care, why do you assume Trader666 cares? I've gotten into ridiculous arguments with all stripes on this forum, but it never crossed my mind to start a poll to "ban them". Usually, I got put on their ignore list and that was the end of it. Wanting to ban other members is...

If true to form, we will hear the impending start of QE3 at least a half dozen times before the official announcement. Expect "rumors" of it, like clockwork on any severe intra-day declines, so as to squeeze into the close. Any other "draconian" measures will also be rumored on those quiet...

I agree Lucrum, let's ban this douchebag Shortie instead. Start a rival poll and let's see what happens.

No kidding. All of which brings up another big question. Why is it acceptable for a comic of a particular race to make extremely racist jokes? For instance, a George Lopez can say the most racist stuff I've ever heard about a Mexican and it's ok. Same for any of the black comics, any of the...

:D Don't give them any ideas.
