i saw that while eating some lunch today
i thought something was broke with the ticker count but it certainly caught my attention
some folks are making money and some are losing but i wouldn't touch that gig with your money
at least oil came down a bit

wonder what kinda show tomorrow will bring being a friday and in may?

BUY...BUY....BUY
or is it
BYE, BYE, BYE? Geez, this is confusing.

Just need a little more stimuli(e)......break out the money pump.

damn! wrong again.....you make a note of that, KK?

Cool Trillion oughta do 'er.....

Well the difference between us and Greece Hank is that we have the authority to print money into infinity. How all that turns out remains to be seen.

Whats more interesting to me is how gold is acting like money as opposed to commodity right now.

More over,....people should be up in arms about another unappropiated fleecing of the tax payers to fund the Euro bailout via the IMF and Federal Resevre currency swaps.

Bernie Sanders recently sold out on the Audit the Fed amendment,......what else would you expect from a socialist?? Vitter of Louisiana offered a side-by-side amendment that was indentical to the Paul-Grayson amendment passed by the House. It was defeated today by a 37-62 vote. Sanders' watered down amendment flew through with a unanimous vote so as to provide political cover.

Want to know which of your senators are bought and paid for by the mega banks? Scroll through the list of the nay votes on the Vitter amendment and you will have a definitive answer.

Again more mis-information from our Nazi Republican Friends. They have the gall to complain about social security and how it needs to be invested in the stock market and how we're going to go broke. Reagan and Bush are the most irresponsible fiscal leaders of all time.

The US doesn't even compare to Greece:

Debt GDP by Nation

More Doom and Gloom from the Right Wing Nazis.

Nazi's? Twice? Pull your head out.
The fiscal damages of the present regime are far from totaled, and if that doesn't bother you, you're not paying attention.
Or perhaps you're in debt up to your eyeballs.... because you're worth it? If so, you have lots of company...all of whom think that their irresponsibility should be my problem.

Little saying about that.....

What makes you think that piss poor planning on your part constitutes a crisis on mine?

With you wingnuts... WHY is it ALWAYS "this is gonna happen" or "this will happen if?"

Fer chrissfukkinsake... we already KNOW what happens when corporatist, right-wing economic policies are utilized.

This country goes right down the fukkin' sh!tter.

Wise up for once!

OK Quatre Sel, I understand you are a dyed-in-the-wool Liberace but try to keep up with me here.

It is truly ironic that you use the term "corporatism". In the context you've used it here it is actually an indictment on your own political philosophy.

Corporatism is described as tripartism involving negotiations between business groups, labor unions, and state interests to set economic policy using collective identities. Better described as collusion between corporate interests and the state concerning economic policy. When comparing this definition with fascism it becomes easy to draw similarities between the two. Italian facsists directly involved corporatism. Fascist governments also directly controlled private property (further state intervention/control) and pursued economic policies to strengthen the state as opposed to private enterprise.

If one were to gauge left vs. right on the political spectrum the easiest way to do so would be to gauge it based on the level, or scope and size, of government and government intervention into the private marketplace,....i.e. Anarchy (no gov't) on the far right and Communism (total gov't) on the far left.

So,.....the corporatist policies enacted by administrations for decades in this country that have led to "this country going right down the fukkin' shtter" are actually policies that would be considered "leftist",.........no matter what letter happened to appear behind the policy maker's name.

Perhaps it's time you took the blinders off and welcomed yourself to reality.

Sorry for this, but, gotta call the grammar police and LOL @ "died-in-the-wool". Sounds like something that Ferndale dude from that other thread might be into.

Fixed that for ya Captain Grammar.

That was pretty funny though

I admire your consistency

I'm on a roll

Sometimes the brain moves faster than the fingers.

It simply boils down to fear, ignorance and hatred versus hope, knowledge and imagination.

Or to put it in terms the former can grasp:

Hide in yer bunkers! The commies are coming fer the wimminfolk!

VS

Maybe if we act like reasonable adults, we don't have to drop napalm on each other.

The partisan quabbling here is a little sickening. It's actually an accurate reflection of what is happening in this nation today.

"It's unprofessional to confuse loyalty with integrity." - A very true and relevant statement.

What has either party actually done for anyone here? What purpose is served by debating the shortfalls and negligence of either party? They're both guilty in my mind.

I mean, I know this petty $hit is the whole damn world to some you but c'mon,.....really?

KK, some of your statements about conservatives looking backwards are true,.......I will give you that. Although statements made in this thread about the current economic situation are not references to what "might" happen and "what if" scenarios. There IS a sovereign debt crisis on the horizon. There ARE problems with our budget deficit here at home. If there were not then why are central banks around the world now bailing out whole countries via monetization? The proof is in the pudding. If some of you wish to bury your head in the sand and ignore the problem be my guest, but there is no denying the current reality.

IMO it's being denied in much the same way conservatives denied, and still deny, the fact that US occupation and intervention in middle east countries is the number one driver behind radical islam. Now the current administration has picked up the neoconservative foreign policy ball and ran with it. Pathetic.

Here we have two self-indentified groups who are so married to their idealology that they cannot see the forest for the trees. In the mean time the country suffers.

What an utter disappointment.

Then why don't you STFU?

I see you're one to follow your own advice.

WWRPD?

If that means what I think it does it's unfortunate because we will probably never know.
