    Get ready for China to lose that $2 trillion surplus.

    Yeah, Jim has alot invested in China, more than just money, but he has taught his kids to speak chinese and learn customs and all that. If he admitted that china was in a bubble, that means he wasted so much of his life and his kids life learning chinese and investing over there. A few years...

    How to make an Atheists head explode.

    So I suppose when you get drunk and the next day you forgot what you did the night before, does that mean it never happened? There is probably a good reason why people do not remember existing before they were born, just like there is probably a good reason to not remember what you did the...

    Get out of Afghanistan . . .

    But if we get out, we wont be spending as much money. How are we supposed to destroy the economy if we dont keep up with the wars?

    it really is game over, science fiction becomes fact

    The average country lasts 20-50 years when using fiat money before it implodes. Our money has been off the gold standard for almost 40 years now. If we make it another 10 years, I would be surprised. The kicker is, alot of people think its just going to be the US that is going to implode...

    it really is game over, science fiction becomes fact

    Thats a pretty one sided bet. If you win, you get 20 real spendable dollars. If you are wrong and you have to pay us, we get 20 worthless unspendable dollars. How about this...if you are right, we pay you 20$. If we are right, you pay us an ounce of silver. Thats a more fair bet for...

    California declare fiscal emergency

    Yeah you have no idea how much schools overpay for school buses. I actually looked into this as a business and the subcontractors were taking in a huge amount of money. If i remember right (I looked into it 5 years ago) there was a company selling their contract with the school and the school...

    Some thought on economics of advertising.

    I should also probably state that i use Geico I pay $334 per year for full coverage on my car which is the cheapest i've ever paid in my life. Although they only give you that deal if you've been driving for a long time and never have any tickets or accident. The next cheapest place costs...

    Some thought on economics of advertising.

    Yes...when you are big, you have to throw alot of money out there or some other company will throw their name in the ring and you might try their product and like it, then the big company loses its market share. For instance...how many of you have ever heard of "Nesbitts Orange Soda"...

    How to make an Atheists head explode.

    Its just so hard to understand how in this day & age with all we know about science how you can NOT believe in God. When you look under a microscope and see how advanced something as small as a cell is with all we know about it today (which is about 1000 times more than we did 20 years ago) how...

    How to make an Atheists head explode.

    No...two of every "kind" of animal. Not two of every animal. The animal with most most genetic information was the one that was taken on board and over time as it loses genetic information, it breeds into different types of the same species.

    Keeping cancer alive: bailouts for autos, financial leeches, global warming

    But at least we are doing it at 110% efficiency. First time in history the government has ever been so efficient at doing something.

    Keeping cancer alive: bailouts for autos, financial leeches, global warming

    Yes, we have all noticed and you have to ask yourself why. Why would they spend so much money at the absolute worst time in the history of the country to do this? There is really only two possible answers. 1. They are idiots (I dont think so since many of the leaders are ivy league...

    How to make an Atheists head explode.

    I love that movie. Stein asks Dawkins "How did it all start" and Dawkins basically says "Well nobody knows for sure....but God didnt do it!" Its like saying "which came first, the chicken or the egg" and him saying "well nobody knows for sure, but it definately wasnt the chicken!"

    What are the economic downside of a physical elimination of OPEC ?

    OPEC is only 33% of the worlds oil production and they try to manipulate the market as much as we and the rest of the world do only they do it pretty much out in the open. The truth is that we can produce oil so much faster than we care to say, but if we did, the price of oil would drop to 5...
