Let's face it, a 14 year old prepping for the mandatory US Constitution test is going to outduel 95% of adults (even educated ones). How about 16 year old's a few months removed from a year long US History course? Is it realistic to believe that adults are going to retain all of that...

I'd be willing to bet quite a sum that the real economy would literally fall on it's face at breakneck speed if government spending ever truly were curtailed. I've mentioned it in other threads, but do some long hard thinking about the myriad ways in which the public sector literally keeps...

In theory, I'd agree, however others think that we're "going Argentinian". Ireland has already tested the waters with taxing private retirement accounts, how long can they hold out on the massive cash cow in the US?

Olias, why don't you make a comment about the article? You've literally turned into that other "cut and paste" hack that was run off the board several months ago.

There's more than a little sense of 2008 deja-vu these past few weeks, not to mention the fact that we've been re-testing all those critical market areas that started the slide 3 short years ago. The herd is even more acutely packed into some of these trades than they were in 2008 and there...

What the hell are you laughing about? Did you expatriate yet? Oh no, I forgot, you live under this delusion that Texas is somehow not in the US and that they will "secede" from the rest of the country.

Yes, these parasites can't endorse it because it cuts off their steady stream of fees for essentially putting their clients in funds that merely track the S&P 500. It's simply amazing the amount of dead weight that has accumulated in most of these institutions over the past twenty-five years.

ok, so can we send the NON hispanic freeloaders, gang bangers and other miscreants somewhere as well?

Yes, it is still a shithole. My point is that the Mexicans typically move into previously blighted areas and establish their own little "barrio's". But in this conversation, it's really a debate about the lesser of two societal ills. Hispanic communities do not see anywhere near the level of...

You are the leftist and don't even know it. I'll tell you exactly what would happen if your scenario played out. More companies would simply leave the country. What you are advocating is basically the same thing that the unions have tried to put in place for decades. Every state with strong...

Total bullshit and you know it. The deterioration of Detroit started in the early 60's WELL BEFORE the hispanics moved in there. If anything, hispanics perform their own form of "gentrification" of an area. They purchase property in blighted areas that the black population left in shambles...

Dude, slow down. I know that you are "breathlessly" awaiting our replies but at least give me two minutes to get an update on the thread.

You are HOPELESSLY naive. Do you realize that most of the businesses employing them would literally go bankrupt overnight if forced to take on all of these natural born citizens and the administrative demands. I'm not making a judgment as to what's right or wrong, but simply stating the facts...

Another dumb ass. We're becoming a third world nation WITH or WITHOUT them. Or haven't you been paying attention lately?

Agree, funny that nobody mentions one particular race that commits the majority of crime, receives the majority of handouts and, in general, destroys every single neighborhood they have ever inhabited. And the media has been able to hoodwink the vast majority of the population into believing...

I agree with you. In fact, I'd guess that the very best thing to "own" in a truly hyperinflationary bust would be agricultural land, since none of us can eat gold or silver. Self sufficiency would be the absolute key in a doomsday scenario. I'd go so far as to say bartering in precious metals...

Indeed, these costs fall squarely on the backs of small businesses and non-union workers. In addition, they are now also paying for the "indirect subsidy" by way of runaway deficit spending and Fed monetization which has led to all sorts of commodity inflation (higher input costs). We should...

Well stated and I completely agree with the last line. Both parties are opposed to spending cuts. The Repubs are simply paying lip service to the Tea Party element, but have no intention of actually following thru on cuts. Both parties are owned by their campaign contributors and would...

Like the true hypocrite that you have proven to be, you fail to mention that precious metals, crude oil and commodities have outperformed the stock market still. You have not mentioned the tremendous debt burden that we have undertaken to simply "goose the stock market" for the umpteenth time...

It most certainly is, BUT I've long since come to the conclusion that no one wants to touch the overpaid public unions for more than the obvious reasons that we constantly read about. Instead, it gets to the very heart of the way our economy functions. By creating this privileged class of...
