This country really has become a temporary playground for the rich. Until they suck us dry, then they will simply move on....

Sometimes they do or they end up like King Ludwig who inherited it from generations of wealth but unattached from reality, he was deemed crazy and later his psychiatrist and him were drowned in a river.

The billionaires are running America and are scamming us all out our money. On a daily basis. And they have to be taken out for the Class War they started. It is up to We the People to finish it.

CHEVYNIMROD, what patents? Give us patent numbers to look up? Otherwise you're nothing but a liar. And Google, I think the prober verb you're looking for is, "Ask", "query" or "search". But then the corporate slaves always do what they're told, when in need of "asking" a question, you're told to "Google" it, and you OBEY! So again, give us patent numbers that we can look up at the PTO. Or are you just a liar?

So "dependence on the government" is bad, but when I point out that VETERANS depend on the governement then you change your stance to accomodate THAT group. Obviously you're as slippery as Michell Bachman and Sarah Palin. You LADIES really need to get together because no one would ever get a solid straight answer and all would just have to eat the $hit you shovel.

You are a waste of energy and anything said to refute your ignorance will just be responded to with even more snake oil to slip out of earlier statements. Maybe you should run for supreme dictator.

When you are negotiating with corporate terrorist Republicons who do not care about Americans, of course you will get angry.

Frankly the Republicons have not done one thing good for America since before Reagan and they are pretty much wacked out nutjobs now.

One truth is obvious now, even to the liberal, lame stream media: Obama and his secret hero President Reagan have absolutely nothing in common.

I'm hitting all the news sites with this as it may be incredibly relevant when trying to get Cantor's attitude.

Huffpost ran this article by Amanda Terkel last week which I think flat needs some looking into:

"The Democratic resolution, obtained by The Huffington Post from a Democratic source on the Hill, argues that Cantor "stands to profit from U.S. treasury default, which thereby raises the appearance of a conflict of interest," and that he "may be sabotaging [debt ceiling] negotiations for his own personal gain."

"The resolution goes after Cantor's investment in ProShares Trust Ultrashort 20+ Year Treasury ETF, a fund that "takes a short position in long-dated government bonds."

The fund is essentially a bet against U.S. government bonds. If the debt ceiling is not raised and the United States defaults on its debts, the value of Cantor's fund would likely increase.

"According to Dayspring, Cantor owns $3,327 in the ProShares trust. His congressional pension in the Thrift Savings Plan, on the other hand, is invested in the G Fund of government bonds and is valued at over $263,000. The value of his investment in the ProShares fund is highly variable and could change significantly if the government defaults."


Thing is, another poster looked it up and said Cantor actually owns between 15 and 50K in short shares, moreover, his G Fund is the safest fund on the planet.

So CHEVYNIMROD, you're one of those geniuses that BURNS EXCESSIVE QUANTITIES of gasoline because,"IT GOES VROOM!"
Great, thanks for helping to contribute to the rapid depletion of the world's resources.

As for you I(gnorant)ntelligent comments...

Yes, that is 100% communist and has failed every time it has been tried.
If you need something, you should earn it and not have it given to you. There are people that cannot work and should get help, but cradle to grave government dependence has to end.
------------------------------------------------------------
I agree, communism has failed, just as unabashed, unchecked, and unbalanced CAPITALISM is CURRENTLY FAILING!

And in one sentence you contradict yourself from one phrase to the next, "There are people that cannot work and should get help, but cradle to grave government dependence has to end", how can VETERAN that has been DEBILITATED for LIFE break their depencence on the government that put them in their position before the VET reaches the grave. Tell me, at what point do YOU decide that the DISFIGURED VETERAN has received enough assistance and should be on their own? So will you be EUTHANIZING people when they no longer fit in your TOTALITARIAN world? I'd rather be a communist than the fascist totalitarian that you apparently are, CHEVYNIMROD.

Money for the wealthy that don't need it = "subsidy"
Who gets to deside who needs and and who doesn't? YOU?
This is not a communist country.
Fascist need larger government to control their citizens, that would be you.
--------------------------------------------------------------
So CHEVYNIMROD, YOU deciding that the WEALTHY and NOT IN NEED of anything should recieve WELFARE from BIG Government ISN'T communist, but my belief that Government ASSISTANCE should be based on need is COMMUNIST? Quit HUFFING on your MADE IN MEXICO (CHEVY) tailpipe.

There is TOO much talking outside of the room! All these politicking smirking Tea Party cupcakes, all these speculative "journalists", all these smirking politicians on both sides, all these financial "experts", there is just TOO much being said, and it makes more problems and panic. Too bad we have so much freedom of speech. There needs to be a gag order, and the only people talking are the ones in that room negotiating.

Next time you go to the election booth just flip a coin. D or R, head or tails, it ALWAYS comes up MONEY! This is the Garbagement we have now. It's of the business, by the business and for the business. WE THE PEOPLE are merely a resource from which profits can be extracted.
