I often don't agree with Rennick, but respect the fact he doesn't back down from anyone. I could say the same thing about a handful of elders here who I have strong personal disagreements and differences of philosophies with, also. Lastly, I'm never one to underestimate people who have a...

Thanks, Padre.

Are we in a secular bear or secular bull market? I ask because so called experts can't even seem to agree on such a fundamental point; example - Laffer says secular bear, while that pap smear of a human being, Abby Joseph Cohen, claims contrary.

One other thing - dozens of replies in this thread, most constructive, a few immaterial or childish. But as of yet, no one has specifically responded to the core issue of the relevance of a 19%, throng of 30 million unemployed in this country. Does anyone have reason to contest this...

Obama hasn't done anything to address the unemployment situation, and there's not much he can do in this highly globalized economy with massive free trade flows, where many governments are striving to create political stability by employing as many people as possible. = Cheap labor, getting...

Take collective U.S. debt into the equation and see what the GDP figures show. The federal government is deeply in hock, many states and local units of government are imploding, and few people as a % of the overall population have positive net worth. Just look at the true national debt of...

Fantastic article. Thanks. To Kass - Things are going to get bad enough in the U.S. where ordinary people will be unable to comprehend the dramatic decline in living standards they've seen in their lifetimes. How that relates to some other third world nation is irrelevant. To...

You need professional help, as in intensive psychiatric treatment. I am not even exaggerating.

If you can't deal with reality, take two Pamprin, run some Vagisil onto your schmekus, take a warm bubble bath, and douche often. The rest of us are preparing for the reality that is unfolding. Go hide, Red Robin Hood. Hopefully, you have a real man to protect you when hell breaks loose.

People complicate things so. The U.S. isn't an industrial powerhouse, relatively speaking anymore, has a deficit to GDP ratio of at least 13%, which is atrocious, has accumulated debt of at least 64 trillion, and has 19% of its workforce population unemployed (and growing). Without a major...

We need a helluva lot more judges like this. I hope he bitch slaps BofA and Merrill so hard it forces both the retract every last dime of bonus money, period. That's THE LEAST that should be done to these common, filthy criminals, operating under the wink-wink, nudge-nudge permissiveness...

This is correct. I don't have the link, but even the AMA does not contest it. The defensive medicine part is the portion that's open to debate (i.e. how much of the cost of medicine is "defensive," in an overkill fashion, designed to safeproof against claims of malpractice).

People are still in denial about what's headed are way; as in IMMINENTLY. They just can't accept we'll have a rerun or worse of that terrible time they all heard about in the 30s. China's going to implode, too (that's my speculative side wager). Anyone not ferreting away wealth and...

I'm pretty wealthy, and get no enjoyment out of paying for rapidly depreciating items like NEW cars. It brings me pain, in fact.
