There was just a vote for a school tax increase to bridge the budget gap of over 20 million. It was voted down!! Maybe there is hope after all:D

Housing bubble was much better. At least in the housing bubble you got to live in a nice house. Now you just have a bunch of brain-dead debt slaves with nothing to show for it.

I keep hearing the argument not to buy because of all the extra costs. Costs like property taxes, interest and maintenance. The truth is when you rent you don't get out of these! The costs are simply passed to you by your landlord who is a business owner. A landlord will charge you all their...

Very interesting how many people think a home is liability. We are taught to believe that a paper share of a company ( many that pay no dividends) are assets, but an actual home that gives land and shelter is a liability.

I think you are absolutely right on this one. I have lots of experience with small business. When you pay low, you get what you pay for! When you pay a good wage, you also give people hopes of saving money, buying a house, maybe sending a child to college. That creates loyalty.

"More than work ethic, it's actually a willingness to work issue. Americans are getting accustomized to live on unemployment benefits." Exactly why do hard labor when you can sit around and collect unemployment, welfare, food stamps, housing, etc.

Of the hundreds of potential data pieces, what do you find yourself focusing on the most? Profit Factor, Max Drawdown, Win%, Consecutive Winners, P&L, etc...?

In theory premiums go down for now, but that assumes medical cost stay the same. What is being done to stop the out of control cost of medical procedures?

This plan is just more of government subsidizing business. It doesn't work. It only drives up prices. We have tried this in Housing, Healthcare, Education. Prices have risen, nothing has been made more affordable. What is being proposed now is is the same system with massive amounts of...

If anybody supports this bill, please tell me how this will bring down the cost of medical care? The issue in not about insurance when it comes to cost, it is about the cost of the underlying medical procedures.

Classic!!

Agreed. That's a large reason why I have so much more money than my friends.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Obama pass the " Keeping America on it's feet" bill and extending those benefits until 2015

How about a down tick rule. You can only buy on a down tick. That might prevent speculative manias, and BS bull runs? :p

As long as the heaviest users of health care are having their pills paid by a government that can print an unlimited amount of money, don't expect cost to go down!! Why charge 25 year old Joe Schmo $30.00 for an office visit, when I can make the price $150.00 and bill the government that...

So let me get this staight. we will pay them back and then sell them treasuries. This is nothing more than a giant shell game.

Probably when the government pays down the mortgages of delinquent borrowers 100% and then pays for it by selling treasuries to the Fed. :mad:

What is the SEC doing that they need to raise their fees over 400%? The last thing we need right now is more money going to a government agency.:(

What about mutual funds that have high turnover rates and trade million of dollars worth of securities? To buy 10 Million worth of stock and then to sell 10 million, would cost $50,000. Their trading costs would go through the roof. Do you think that they are going to absorb these cost...
