The I guess Bush must have been the unluckiest mother ****er who ever lived in the White House. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. No Bush and the Congress, Republican and Democrat controlled over the last 8 years sucked. I did not vote for Bush, I actually voted for Badnarik as both the candidates were bad choices. I voted for Obama in the primaries as I am a registered Dem and think the Hillary is a pox on the nation. Was Obama the best candidate? Not by a long shot, neither was McCain. Obama ran a better campaign, lots of it because he had 2x the money. The scary part is who gave the money? A billion bucks does not come from $5 donations. He owes some groups big time. I actually liked the Libertarian platform better. I just hope he controls Pelosi, the 2nd dumbest pol from Calif. (Boxer carries that title.) He most likely is only going to be President for 4 years, as the troubles are beyond fixing quickly and he is most likely going to look bad at the next election. Plus the Dem's will lose a lots of seats in Congress in midterm elections, and there is still going to be a lot of economic problems. As well as the open borders will likely not be addressed. People losing their jobs to an illegal will not play well. I just do not think Obama is ready for primetime. No seasoning. Is sad that these two are what we had to choose from. Obama in 10 years in the Senate, would most likely be a lot more ready to be the leader. Bush inherited a crashing economy, and actually came out ok on that point. It is the rest of the points where he failed and biggest point was the failure of the veto pen. |

LOL. Larouche went to jail for tax fraud. He was tried for fraud associated with fundraising, but that did not stick. The charges were based on his allegedly claiming that book sales and 'loans' were reported as donations so he could claim matching federal monies. (BTW, I got this from wikipedia...if you have more accurate facts, I am happy to hear them). AFAIK, Obama specifically did not claim any federal monies, nor did he misrepresent any donations as anything else. If you are making the claim that Obama ran a scam or was somehow in the same category as Lyndon Larouche, history awaits you and your lawsiut, my man. --riverman |

He owes some people big time. We are going to be screwed anyway. We have the Fed driving the interest rates down, at the same time Obama and the next administration are promising Billions, towards of a 1000 billion in new spending. Driving the interest rates down and printing money will cause massive inflation. Maybe, most likely Carter years inflation. 18%. This will do a couple of things. Some slightly OK, but most bad. The governments will get a big increase in tax revenue. About 1.2% for every 1% of inflation. Houses will go up in value, so the loans may not be upside down. This will be the somewhat OK part, but the real value will have decreased. Probably the best thing Obama could do would be to kill the Federal Reserve System. It has no reserves and is not Federal, but controls the money supply. The only way we are going to really get out of the mess, is for the governments to quit overspending. Is not the Iraq war as lots claim. That is less 4% of the Federal Budget and we would be spending part of that money on the military anyway. It is the other 96% that needs control. We have not been fixing the infrastructure for many, many years. Lots more than the last 3 administrations. The Federal Department of Education controls education in the USA. Has not done a good job, but an expensive poor job. Most of the controls are via grants of money taken from a state and sent back at maybe 76% with strings attached. Look at the dismal graduation rates, and the poor performance of lots of those graduates. We did not even have a DOE until 1980. I actually liked the Libertarian platform the best. If were are going to do income redistribution, lets bring back the WPA. At least we will get something for our money. |

I haven't heard such stream-of-consciousness anxiety since my roommate in college got some bad acid. --riverman WTF? Most of the posts here are babbling, and not a brook. And the anxiety is real. Especially for my 30 something kids. Dem's and Repub's have had an orgy of spending for years. Only thing that made Clinton's look OK was the excess funds from the dot.bomb stock option money. Not from a real robust economy. Both parties have caused the current economic meltdown. And since the Dem's have had Congress the last ~2 years, they get to share a bigger part of the blame. Probably one of the best things we could do is kill the Federal Reserve System. It has no reserves, controls the money supply, and is not Federal. Lots of people made fortunes on the mortgage debacle. Borrow money from the Fed at 3% and loan at 6% and sell the loan to the government for 5% and pocket 1% for selling a loan. Then sell a bunch of securities based on the underlying loan. That part is OK, but selling securities 50 times on the same loan, should be cause for fraud convictions and loss of all assets and jail time. And where did the Fed get it's 3% money to loan? They printed it. No assets underlying the money. The hyper inflation we are looking at is going to hurt the younger people, more than us old farts. We have less time here to be concerned about it. Unless the younger generation decides to try us for theft from them and then line us up against the wall with a firing squad. |
