  • Makes Me Laugh -- Elites With Furrowed Brows AT LAST - -

    So, the FDIC Chairman is a female children's book author from Massachusetts, who started her new job running security for our Nation's bank deposits since 2006? How fortunate for her. I am a Massachusetts/New Hampshire working guy going back to 1990, originally from the Midwest, with some college but no degree, and I have been ''getting ...

  • Re: What difference will it make?

    kgsbca: So the politicians should stay out of this, if they know what is good for the US economy. They probably won't, though, for if the company is acquired by a foreign owner, they will lose a valuable source of local campaign contributions, and we know that is the most important issue for politicians. No one yet seems to have noticed ...

  • Apples and Oranges...

    On the surface, anyone who looks at the price of gas in other countries would seem like a bargain. Realisticly they are comparing apples and oranges in an attempt to justify greed. I cant buy gas from another country. Its geographically impossible. So it makes no sense to compare the price of gas in London England to my local service station. The ...

  • what mommies do

    Lots of moms who have decided to stay home because they just can't leave their babies in daycare, either because they find the separation too hard or because after having to pay childcare fees and gas they don't really bring much money home, they are doing GPT sites from home. I am one of them. No, I didn't believe in those sites at first. My ...

  • There are Jobs a-plenty

    When US employment is in the vicinity of 94%, that's about right... we don't need more and better jobs, we need a better dollar! What's wrong is the income from all our jobs is at the mercy of the erosion of the buying power of the US dollar. Why a weak dollar? Energy: the politicalization of Transpo and Power energies have the price completely ...

  • Re: Bush Setting Dems Up for Failure

    Hellifiknow, There is more than what you are saying which needs to be said. The biggest thing... Bush sort of did devastate the economy by himself. The previous office had decreased the national debt and secured a surplus. He did not inherit this problem, but rather birthed it, and then nurtured it and helped it to grow up big and strong. ...

  • Grossly Ignorant, Poorly Written Article

    The US has been consciously pushing down the value of the dollar for a good reason: debt. We've got a lot of it, and China has been trying to exploit that by keeping their currency pegged to the dollar and by simultaneously buying up tons of US bonds. With a strong dollar, they get a huge competitive advantage in production, fueling the rise of ...
