    ok, but just don't go around saying socialism is good and Social Security and Medicare are socialist and see how good they are. I'll give you social security aint bad and can be fixed with a tax hike, but that's just more money out of my pocket into the governments pocket. Medicare? who knows...

    What Can One Expect from Negative Interest Rates?

    what's good for me isn't neccessarily good for the economy. If everybody lived like me we would be in a worldwide depression. I'm debt free and you just can't hardly get me to buy anything. I trimmed my trading acccount way down in 2016 and that money is just sitting in cash. And no matter how...

    I like Bernie, but...

    makes perfect sense until you try to balance the budget. Imagine if we had socialized housing, that would be really big. I don't think anybody thought they would become the two largest items in the budget when they were passed.

    I like Bernie, but...

    they are just ideas about what's wrong with America, and have little to do with reality and I don't take either of them seriously

    I like Bernie, but...

    speaking strictly about our budget. SS and Medicare are the two largest items. So to say socialism is ok, just look at ss and medicare isn't very comforting.

    Ha-ha the fed is now asking banks to consider NEGATIVE INTEREST RATES!!!

    What Can One Expect from Negative Interest Rates?

    Racist Republicans... Its time to retire that propaganda

    life would go better for you and me if you would just put me on ignore. You wake up late and start commenting on late night conversations which you think are new, and you always forget to take that box off your head that you sleep in before you start posting anew. To put it in words those of...

    Donald Trump: Nobel Peace Prize Nominee

    laugh if you want, but during the cold war we spent a ton on the military. Money that could have gone to children for their lunch at school. But not one of those children ever died in a war with USSR. on the other hand, anyone with half a brain could have looked at the USSR economic system and...

    I like Bernie, but...

    yeah I get it, you pay more taxes but you get more benefits (after the government has taken their cut). I'm all for progressive income taxes, but when you start taxing things you don't like, you are just taxing things you don't understand. It's a socialist form of bigotry. Bernie (and Trump)...
