Steph, as usual, you bring value to any discussion. Higher taxes, high unemployment, high inflation of raw commodities, and hence, durable goods, and falling wages (or even stagnant ones)? Sounds like the perfect recipe to create an economic depression to me...

This is one area where I have a definite answer: The unPATRIOT ACT has attempted to kill it. Hopefully, we won't let it succeed. You can thank the wildly 'Dr. Strangeglove-esque' Dick Cheney for that gem, which requires your bank to compile a file on anyone transferring more than 10k in...

There are hobos all over the place. I see them in the grocery store, with electronic debit cards provided by the government, buying all kinds of groceries and junk food and candy. I also see more people with signs on expressway ramps than ever, and when I went to the Register of Deeds...

If you really believe inflation will support, let alone float, equities, then I think there is a basic flaw in that rationale. Inflation is a job killer, a tax on consumers and businesses, shrinks corporate margins, and discourages capital expenditures. Inflation and deflation are both...

The Fed is immune from subpoenas and FOIA requests because they are a private entity. This is actually the position they took when they were defending against a FOIA request regarding recipients of the TARP/TALF funds, with Bloomberg and other media outlets attempting to force them to cough...

Green shoots! The rain of LBO deals going south and careening into Bankruptcy is about to pour down. The restaurants are truly going have an insufferable time. Green shoots!

Turn your head and cough. Later comes the latex glove snapping around the doctor's hand as he bends you and shoves his hand up your ass. The only one who will enjoy it is Hairdresser. His ass is probably stretched out sufficiently.

This country is so f**ked up, it's truly astounding. If anything, we should forced learning camps for all these little shits so that we can actually make it as a nation, because their parents apparently can't seem to discipline them. Our very security as a country depends on math, science...

Question: What is the eye of a hurricane? Answer: The eye of a hurricane is the center, where it appears calm, as the center is devoid of hurricane mass; but there is still the rest of the hurricane to pass, with even more intense destructive energy, winds and wave action to come...

The Iraq War's cost will ultimately exceed 2.8 trillion USD, and maybe as much as 3.5 trillion.

Ha ha, they're paying the money back with huge profits they made from AIG being bailed out (if no AIG bail out, no Goldman bounty on the credit default swaps AIG sold - trillions worth). Taxpayers are losing a hell of a lot more than 6 billion. They're getting stuck with AIG, after pumping...
