    Dodd, Dorgan Out; 5 Other Senate Democrats Vulnerable.

    Peter Schiff is also the republican candidate. He has a pretty strong grass roots effort going with him where as linda is just throwing money at this race hoping to win. I really have to wonder about people like Linda Mcmahon that will spend 20 million of her own money (did she say 20 or 50 i...

    Winter of 2009-2010 Could Be Worst in 25 Years

    Thats so idiotic. Everyone knows you have to be a high priest for your sacrifice to be accepted. You are just wasting valuable chickens.

    How does propping up the stock market help?

    Thats exactly right...when people feel richer they spend more. Just look what happens when you give a broke guy a $10,000 credit card. Most will go out and spend like it was free money. But yeah...people will stop buying anything if the stock market goes down. If you own $100k of ABC...

    Where is the deflation?

    Every fiat money system in the history of human kind has eventually failed. The world has really only been on fiat money for the last 40 years, yet most people think we have been on it forever. If i remember right, the longest a fiat money system ever lasted without it exploding was about 90...

    The cure is lower prices

    Hows this for worst case....inflation goes rampant and more jobs get lost and a ton of people stop paying their rent. Then the renters stay in the condo for the maximum the law will allow. Meanwhile, condo fees are going up to $2000 per month because thats what it costs for a gardner now (as...

    The cure is lower prices

    This is how you know people are going to get burned again. They start in with the mental masterbation of how much money they are going to make. I saw people like this doing the same thing with houses back in 2005 thinking they were going to buy a house for 400k (that only cost 150k a few...

    A REALLY inconvenient truth

    http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2009/2009GL040613.shtml This Geophysical research letter basically says that CO2 emissions have been the same for the last 160 years. After reanalyzing data, they found this to be true. Sorry Al Gore.

    What caused inflation in the 70s?

    Im pretty sure someone posted an article that gave some good information about this recently, but it basically had something to do with us getting off the gold standard, spending too much money and nobody trusted us to sell us oil for what they thought would be our soon to be worthless US...

    Iranians dying to free themselves from their government

    Amazing. If this was in the US and the police shot someone...the average citizen would scatter. I wonder if one day Americans will stand up for the freedom that we no longer have. I understand it might take a while to notice for some of you, that alot of our freedoms are gone and our lives...

    Why are living standards in the western world still far ahead of emerging countries?

    I think most people are born with good critical thinking skills, but over the years they are discouraged from using it. Look at any 3 year old the way they ask questions when you try to teach them something simple like how toast is made. Kid: How do you make toast? Parent: you put 2...

    The evil of Dpctors

    There is alot of things that is not known about lyme disease and why things happen with it. Some people think when you get your lyme disease cured that you then get autoimmunity and some think that the disease just survives the antibiotics, but no one can say 100% for sure.

    Supermarket socialism

    Yep thats it...I lost my job to you...but instead of becoming a sex slave, I decided to open a few credit cards in your name since you were stupid enough enough to use your Social Security number as your handle. I got some cash advances, opened up a trading account and I am now shorting...

    The Democrat Playbook

    Healthcare: 1. Claim that you have to spend an insane amount of money now in order to not spend an insane amount of money later. 2. Claim that you are doing it for the poor 34 million people who dont have health insurance because they cant afford it, when in reality, poor people get...

    Supermarket socialism

    Mcdonalds closes at midnight in 99% of the world and opens at 6am. Dont pretend like you didnt know that since you work there as a french fry boy.

    Supermarket socialism

    heh, yeah 8 years of hearing everything is Bush's and the republicans fault for anything that happened makes me have to get back at the dems a little bit. I probably could've done without saying that though. :)

    Most Expensive Car Wrecks

    Its a little misleading. That article assumes that as soon as those cars crashed, they lost 100% of their value. Most of those cars only have some small body damage which probably wouldnt cost more than 10 or 20k to fix. A REAL expensive car wreck is one like this in canada where a guy...

    Supermarket socialism

    I was in the Bel-Air grocery store today(Parent company is Raleys which employs 13,500 people) and I heard the checkers talking about their hours and how they were getting cut. I asked them about it and it seems that the grocery store is cutting hours while hiring more employees. The two...

    High interest savings

    If someone from 10 years ago heard you say 1.5% interest was "high interest savings"they would've thought you were a loon. Amazing how things can change in 10 years.

    Americans just can't add.

    I dont think that its that they are bad at math...i think its just that they are too lazy to do the math and then connect the dots of how many hours they have to work to pay for that borrowed money. They will go out and buy a 30k car and be happy they got a 5 yr loan at 6% interest. They wont...
