Lieberman: Restrain Large Speculators

Quote from bkveen3:

I honestly respect McCain. I believe him to be a good guy and I truly believe he is running for all the right reasons. But why in the world is he letting a guy like Phil Gramm get close.

As I do also, he is probably the 2nd best GOP under Ron Paul that was there. I feel strongly that with the economic mess this country has been in for the last 7 years that there will be a Democrat in the White House this year.

This country has more people who are in worse shape now that the ones in better shape than they were 4 years ago. George Bush has done a terrible job at just about everything there is to running this country. If he got caught geting blown in the Oval Office that would have been the least of his problems. Truth is he is so unpopular right now he could not get blown in a San Francisco Bath House.

When people are not happy they want change. John McCain does not represent change to the majority of the public. Obama will be change, could be better, could be worse.

About the only friend George Bush has left is Scooter Libby and boy does he owe him one.

I personally do not know how I will vote. I am still undecided. I have about come to the conclusion that it does not matter who is in the White House. This country is going to take it's own path of which we have no control.
 
1. Congress mandated that the Fed is to consider employment and the economy along with the integrity of the dollar. -at the behest of you-know-what-party in congress.

2. The Fed proceeds to bail out every problem that comes along because of this mandate.

3. When the money flows from these bailouts, it's going somewhere, the next big thing, and right now that's obviously commodities.

4. Congress proceeds to tell us that it's large specs that are responsible for all problems. (a quick review of history will tell you this is always the case- blame the speculators!)

5. The Fed printed money is going to go somewhere and the question is, who is more qualified to see that it is directed toward it's best use--speculators and large money investors? or congress?

Just as the old saying goes that there is only one thing worse than a democracy- and that is a dictatorship,
there is only one thing worse than capitalism(speculation), and that is socialism(gov't control of markets).

You think Europe, China, etc., would be fine as a model for us? Think what they would be like without the US as a buffer zone to allocate world money.
 
Quote from AAAintheBeltway:



In all this blathering, never a word about the true culprits for our current problem. How many nuke plants have we built? How many new refineries? Why are there scores of different regional formulations for unleaded gas? Think that helps prices? How about coal, as we are the Saudi Arabia of coal? Shouldn't we be building coal-fired plants like the Chinese are doing? Coal gassification, good idea or not? Oil sands? Or, to keep it simple, drilling in alaska and off the east coast? Or is it better to let the Cubans and chinese suck up that florida oil?

Yes, your post was spot on. I honed in on the part I have left intact above because it reminds me of something that makes me laugh every time I think about it.

Liberals seem to think that nuke, coal gasification, shale, etc, are all impossible, at least cleanly and safely.
Yet they want to throw billions of dollars at "alternative energy" and they think that we can "invent" a way to successfully provide for our energy needs through them. This would truly be a miracle of sorts, but they have great faith in this miracle and scoff at simply honing and improving the current technologies we have to use so called "fossil fuels". (If you do a little googling, you'll see that there is great debate about where exactly oil comes from, but it suits the liberal intelligensia fine to settle on dinosaurs because that helps their case that it will "run out".
 
I wonder if we stopped running thousands of 4 gallons per mile tanks around Iraq how much demand in oil would drop? It is a boondoggle for taxpayer waste the US being over there. Now they tell us it we may be there 100 years?? The math would be huge on that cost.

As for the 89% of the people who were for the war, I would have to say yes I was also. I also was under the impression that Saddam had WMD's because our government told us so. Now that we realize we were lied to it is hard to take things back.

I am not a political guru but I believe Obama was one of a few congressmen who did not vote for the invasion of Iraq.

It's you that obviously have no clue what "neo-con" stands for.

How else would you rationalize a Federal government and Administration that places an emphasis on foreign policy that maintains America's role "as the world's sole superpower" and yet has allowed the U.S. DOLLAR to get cut in half and place tremendous (oil) revenues in the hands of nations that foster and harbor terrorism???

Congratulations asswipe.
You have just shown yourself to be almost as DUMB as that legendary ET "cut and paste" joker, S2007S
 
'Neo-con' is nothing more than an euphemism for 'Fascist'. The majority (or at least a very large number) of Americans have no problem with this philosophy.

I don't know what the word 'terrorist' means. On 9-11-01 we lost 2000+ people in an attackk on the World Trade Centers.

Since 1950, our (USA) military is responsible for over 5 MILLION deaths of people that never did anything against us. 'Terrorism' is just a term used to describe the actions of the weakest contestant.
