- Obama and the libs wont be satisfied until the Dow is below 1000 and no stock costs more than 35 cents a share. Oh well, look at the bright side, we''''ll finally have the "everyone''''s equal" kinda nation they seek: we''''ll all be equally impoverished.

- "an economy that is dependent on consumer spending for its growth."
This is the root of the problem... we depend on spending instead of saving.

- The Free Market Clapper
It let''s you turn capitalism on or off, however you choose.
Don''t trouble yourself with a complicated socialist revolution.
Just clap on, clap off!
Clap on when times are good and you make the profit.
Clap off when times are bad.
Just clap off the free market and the glorious state will provide.
Clap on when you got profitable derivatives, credit default swaps and confusing watchyamacallits.
Clap off when you realize you really have nothing of value.
Clap on when you''re so big you must be doing it right!
Clap off when you''re too big to fail.
Clap on when the free market self regulates.
Clap off when the failing markets must be saved.
Clap on and the government is the problem.
Clap off and the government is the solution.
The Clapper is available nationwide. - Reply to this comment

Hey Anita Hugenkiss, "us libs" like prosperity too. And you only need to look at the Republican party to see an example of extreme socialism (an $800 Billion bailout?! ***?).
I think we can all agree things need to change, and "us bad libs" aren''t the ones standing in the way of solutions. - Reply to this comment
- The only question are how much longer will China, Japan, and Saudi Arabia continue to lend us money to pay for our excesses, and the long term effects of printing more money on an increasingly weak currency

They will lend us what we need to stablize our economy. and give us a good rate also. We are their largest market. ''Enlightened Self-Interest demands the continuation of the USA as a purchasing power. - Reply to this comment

- It''s amazing how many of us didn''t see the writing on the wall. The recession was knocking on our doors a while ago. Neither party did anything to prevent this from happening. You want to save money? Cut pay for Senators and other politicians. One should live by example. Let''s pay them based on job performance !!!

- The American people have spoken with their wallets. Go ahead and continue to send our jobs overseas and loan us money we can''t pay back. Keep on allowing the oil companies and speculators to drain our pockets dry with high energy cost.
The American people are not as stupid as the wealthy thought. We are not going to continue to borrow money to buy cars and homes and spend our last dime for things we don%u2019t need.
This is a fight for survival and we don%u2019t give a *** about the big corporations and wealthy scum bags. - Reply to this comment

There is the right side and the wrong side and the medias side which has absolutely nothing to do with right or wrong. They project only what they are paid to project. The truth has nothing to do with it...... - Reply to this comment
- Flat Tax Rate of 18% for everybody would boost the economy as well

You do that and H&R Block and all the CPAs go out of business! How dare you suggest we make the tax code rational! ;)
That being said, I still think gov''t sponsored R&D is a really good deal that no individual company can justify spending money on...the scope and timeline just don''t fit the private sector, but is important nonetheless. - Reply to this comment
- Many leading companies no longer produce a product. Newspapers without writers. Phone, cable, and internet companies that provide nothing but a service that is substandard. An auto industry that pays employees not to work. Bureaucrats that spend their entire career as dysfunctional troublemakers protected by unions. Government contractors and kickbacks. The American banking industry is analogous to the old mafia. Politicians, crooked cops, and the people behind all of this mess is the idiot saying %u201Clove it leave it%u201D.

And I took advantage of it. However, I agree with you on the media. Hard to find anyone who is really objective. I firmly believe that the media created the Great Ohbeemie. As soon as he shows who he really is, they will cut him off at the knees. - Reply to this comment
