Now that the market has given up over ten years of ephemeral "gains", isn't it great that all those current and soon-to-be-retirees with 401Ks/IRA's lose twenty, thirty or more percent of their retirement income? And who benefits? Oh, maybe the super-rich who now pick up those securities at bargain basement prices with the ability to wait out the decline and reap the increased share values later after the gov't steals more money from wage earners to reimburse reckless speculators and their institutions. Like Steely Dan called it-- the Royal Scam.

You GOPig voting fools fucked yourselves and the rest of us by supporting politicians who work for people who, guess what-- AIN'T YOU AND AIN'T US.

But hey, working people, by all means, keep voting for GOPig and Dem politicians who put the interests of mega-rich shareholders ahead of working folks because someday you might be a super rich shareholder instead of some working schlub.

In your dreams, doofus.

Oh, how's that privatized social security thing gonna work out for ya?

Will be when all the baby boomer retires need to raise cash. Stock prices will drop as they all start selling to rasie cash for living expenses.

At least now the gov't can tap and scan all our electronic communications without a warrant and torture us if we do something they don't like! Hell, that's such a good policy that both parties support it.

A wee bit surely this morning Doodahman.

Agree with your post.

Sounds like you want to find the nearest Dittohead and punch him right in the nose.

I hear ya on that one.

On a different subject - what is with Obama and funding Jesus freak charities, voting for domestic spying and talking about invading Pakistan to find a guy who could be dead and probably didn't even do 911 as it was probably a false flag incident. Aren't the Bin Ladens Bush friends?

Anywho, who really cares about all this bullshit. The world will continue to orbit the sun.

Lighten up- your Cubs are gonna win the World Series if they get by my Mets (9 in a row and counting - got rid of Willi Randolph and poof we are winners).

Pelosi, Reid, Kerry, and Obama have spent all their time undermining the American Military and helping al-Qaeda.

and now gas prices are skyrocketing and the only response from the Dems is, "suck it up".

Speaking of Scabby supporters Doodahman - looks like you attracted a couple.

Yup, I have to stop myself from picking them. What's funny is that you can bet that every doofus who rises to the defense of the GOPigs doesn't have a pot to piss in, while those that do are shutting up while they figure out what to do with their piss when their pot is repossessed.

Intellectual lightweights are not worth the effort.

The fray is full of guys who are so far out there it is as if they feel a need to spead the gospel of Rush.

Gloebels would be proud of this Rethug spin machine. Who would thunk that we could have such a movement that supports attacking countries that are virtually defenseless all for Corporate profits.

Really a testiment to the human condition. Fascism can rise in any industrial society.
