Again, the loss in housing was due to government messing around with markets that they have absolutly no business in. Congress ignored and even played down the warnings about Freddie and Fanny. In addition to that, what else could some of those pension plans put their money in? Interest rates...

Yep, and those government employees PAID into those accounts and the money was either stolen or the government did not fund their share as promised. Then the government has the audacity to procescute Madoff. Bad mouth him too whey THEY did the EXACT same thing he did.

As I said, it is the American worker who is going to be stung first. People were FORCED to pay into Social Security. There were MASSIVE surpluses for a VERY long time that were squandered over the years. NO options, the promise was a lie, now there is little or nothing left for them and their...

The FIRST ones who will get 'stung' when we begin to default will be the American People. Those who hold "T" bills or Savings bonds will be told that they are worth little or nothing. Anyone who is holding government securities had better be thinking of dumping them, and soon.

Let us not forget that, for the most part, people in this country are poor because they CHOOSE to be poor. They do NOTHING to improve themselves, they don't have too, they get paid to do NOTHING. There are good jobs that people refuse to move for and DEMAND that they are ENTITLED to sit around...

Yeah, he took some guff off of some of the 'entitlement crowd' backers in here. Not to worry, they may be in later then YOU TOO, can take some guff! :p

Careful there Dave, you might hurt the little darlin's feelings and self-esteem if they find out that they are not the victims they thought they were. I mean, after all, they get to buy cup cakes and frozen pizza with OTHER PEOPLE'S money! Talk about a hard life!

Yeah, it was. If I had thought it was serious I would have said something, but you are right, there really is no need for it.

I think it was done in jest but off color.

"The SAME things?If that was all they wanted we would be in good shape. Problem is they want way more than that!" LOL! I was TRYING to be nice! :p I LOVE how newly weds want to start off with a mini-mansion instead of a 'starter home' (can't say 'starter home' if one is a realtor, same with...

Obama? LIE???? :confused: PLEASE, Say it ain't so!

"Maybe we don't have it so bad" One of the biggest problems we have in this country is that we have had it FAR too good for FAR too long. Our poor have cable TV, cell phones and many are obese. We have forgotten what many diseases are like and complain that there MAY be a problem with a...

The key to this is whether or not they are here LEGALLY. My grandparents came here LEGALLY. They jumped through every hoop. They learned English. They WORKED HARD. There is also another major difference between 'back then'and now. "Back then" there was a TON of unskilled labor jobs open and no...

LOL! I THINK it is spelled "Antioch" but spelling is NOT my strong suit. Glad you got home OK. Did you have to many any special arrangements with the TA to leave it there?

I have never hauled a 'ball of wax'. Why would one want to ship a 'ball of wax'? I could, however, see that if it was in the summer one may wish to ship a 'ball of wax' on a temp controlled truck to avoid having it arrive as a 'puddle of wax'.

I see nothing wrong with that picture. One, it is mild compared to some that were done about Bush when he was in office. Two, it is VERY accurate. I mean, really, voodoo economics can ONLY be put into place by a witch doctor. It all makes sense now! Three, it is protected political speech, which...

Sorry, could not resist, I would have exploded.

A truly shocking story.

Where did you end up parking?
