uRfk9AcDfo9Wui Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 If everyone just worried about his own life there would be no problems. My income is up from last year. If someone is having money problems he should do something about it. There is still lots of opportunity out there in spite of the government. The more that the government interferes the fewer opportunities there will be. The government is the problem. We need less government. There are too many laws and regulations. There are too many people working for the government. There are way too many taxes. We are like slaves. I am still doing all right. My man is in the White House. I like watching the Liberals squirm. My man is also in Ottawa. Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh are having a field day. I'm just loving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballfan Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 WTF? :wacko: Thank God we decided to occupy Iraq, I can't tell you how many times I had nightmares of Iraq's navy storming our shores. :rolleyes: You too?????

Footballfan Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 How can you not see anything different? You need to take your head out of the sand and look around. The fact that there are so many people in the U.S. like you, that think everything in this country is just fine, may be the scariest thing about the mess we are in. Just because W. tells you that things are great, that does not make it so. The dollar falling is only a part of the problem. What about all the jobs that are leaving, what about baby boomers beginning to collect SS when we have trillions in deficits, what about the enormous trade deficit, the war with no end in sight and no money to pay for it.......yeah things are'nt any different :wacko: I agree. We are on the verge of economic collapse. Low unemployment rate? Sure- but how many of those are good jobs? How many people have had to take the $6 hour Wal-Job because there was nothing else out there, and they could not afford college? We cannot keep running up endless deficits, and sending the revenue drives (taxes paid on good-paying jobs) overseas. How far the dollar has fallen in such a short period of time is alarming, and it shoud scare the crap out of everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballfan Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Forgive me, but I think that this war was a waste. We can debate endlessly if there were weapons of mass destruction or if Saddam Hussain was really a threat to the US. However, a $9 Trillion deficit, domestic programs being cut, and $4 a gallon class was not worth it in my opinion. I would have taken my chances with Saddam in power, and have a manageable debt, good roads to drive on here, health insurance reform (the war bill could have provided everyone health insurance), and $1.50 gallon gas.

Agree 100%. Heres a link to a small graph that compares the annual cost of the Iraq war to a few other annual costs. http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2007/01/...DT_GRAPHIC.html Here's the article from earlier this year that accompanied the graph. It's a pretty interesting read. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/17/business...08c&ei=5090 Edited November 12, 2007 by mrballsonya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bored of Pisteon Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 (edited) http://www.bostonherald.com/business/gener...ticleid=1043281 Bush's First term tax cuts to the rich in the midst of a convoluted war, seem to really have been a great Idea. One more notch in the belt of THE worst president the U.S. has ever seen. I'm sure there is at least two more that can top him... Jimmy Carter Bill Clinton 2 limp dick wimps that did nothing to stop terrorism; especially in the middle east nor made serious attempts to stifle it. I'm not happy with Bush but at least I'll respect him for what he's trying to do because no other president in our country's history has had to endure what he has since 9/11. You also don't know if $4 a gallon gas was going to be here whether the situation over there now is a factor in it or not. Everyone seems to forget one important hidden tax and that's called: "INFLATION" Edited November 13, 2007 by Bored of Pisteon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bored of Pisteon Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 A news conference to tell Americans why? are you for real??? What news media are you wanting to get a fair report from? In case you haven't sat down and watched any of the Big 3 report on our exec's and leg's branches, I can assure you that you will not get a fair report. Our media has such a bias slant to it, and the majority of the sheeples buy right in to it. Push the koolaide away, research the topic's, and form your own opinion. If not, you too will be lead to believe that if you don't vote for H. Rotten Clinton, it is because you are a sexist and don't want a woman in office, rather than the true facts about her double speak and shady dealings in the past. That's why I posted a nice little link on the bottom of my signature. People supporting Hillary need to wake up because we don't need any more Clinton shit in the White House! The antics of Blow Job Bill is why we are in the situation we are today! He didn't do a fuckin' thing to thwart terrorism especially when Sudan captured Bin Laden and offered his head on a platter and what did Clinton do? You know the rest of the story... You figure it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US dollar will get stronger: Bush Bush cited low US inflation figures, modest interest rates, job growth, and gross domestic product growth and declared "the underpinnings are strong."

fmccap Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Treasury Market Inflation Anxiety Renewed by Dollar For the first time in 18 months, the U.S. government bond market is showing growing anxiety that the plummeting dollar will result in runaway inflation. The combination of the currency's 31 percent decline during George W. Bush's presidency, oil prices near a record high and interest rates at a four-year low have convinced investors that consumer prices are poised to accelerate. While all Treasuries have gained during the worst U.S. housing market since 1991, none have done better than Treasury Inflation Protected Securities.

Jimmy Carter Bill Clinton A case can definitely be made for Carter. Give me BJ Clinton over Dumb ass Bush, any day of the week. I'm not happy with Bush but at least I'll respect him for what he's trying to do because no other president in our country's history has had to endure what he has since 9/11. You're joking right? I think if FDR was still alive he'd take great issue with your statement. You do remember Dec. 7th 1941 don't you? You can't compare an attack by a group of cowards, to an attack by a world super power. But unlike Bush, at least FDR declared War on the right country. I think every president in history has had to deal with threats and adverse situations. 9/11 was a heinous event no doubt about it, but please don't place Bush on a pedestal just for starting a fallacious war. You also don't know if $4 a gallon gas was going to be here whether the situation over there now is a factor in it or not. Everyone seems to forget one important hidden tax and that's called: "INFLATION" True, and there's also another hidden tax you forgot....the worthless U.S. dollar. The low U.S. dollar is good for our Manufacturers (the ones that haven't yet defected the U.S.)... but bad for the U.S. citizen. The horrendous trade deficit, and rampant spending of the Bush administration have all contributed to the current low value of the U.S. dollar. The trade deficit could've been lessened with some enforcement of trade agreements and of course Bush's Tax cuts and the price of the War certainly haven't helped. When you owe boatloads of money to someone (China and Japan), suddenly you have to start treading very lightly when it comes to foreign policies involving said countries. By devaluing the dollar, essentially the International financial markets have shown us how much they think an American I.O.U. is worth. Evidently, they don't think very highly of us. Can we pay off the loan sharks....... or are we destined to become China's BITCH? Edited November 14, 2007 by mrballsonya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowering the value of the dollar while printing more money will make it easy to pay off the debt this government owes. More than one country has done it before. We the people will take a screwing in the process through inflation possible hyper-inflation. Just think of the new highs the stock market will reach. And your government will tell you that is good.

Bored of Pisteon Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 (edited) My only regret was that 5 years ago Gold and Silver were at all time lows... $270 an ounce for gold and $3.75 an ounce for silver. Plus the Canadian dollar was cheap. I mean dirt cheap! 58 cents on the US dollar. It will be interesting to see where the monetary policies and situations lead us within the next year or two. You or I don't know where this is headed but I see in the distance something that isn't pleasant shaping up. Mr. Ballsonya I'll agree with you on the FDR issue as war should have been declared immediately! In fact... If I were president; that whole area we are in now wouldn't even exist! I agree with you on some points but like I said when it comes down to handling terrorism overall. Clinton wasn't the right man at the time it needed to be done. Enough said.

Liberty Dollars Stolen To Protect Money Trust By doing this, the U.S. government has not only stolen from NORFED but anyone who owns or wishes to use the Liberty Dollar for the purposes of bartering. It is laughable that the U.S. government would raid NORFED for issuing paper receipts 100% backed by silver coins but not raid Federal Reserve banks who issue paper receipts 100% backed by nothing. Had the U.S. government raided all the Federal Reserve banks at the same time they raided NORFED, at least their argument would be consistent.

mrballsonya Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 (edited) Liberty Dollars Stolen To Protect Money Trust Is this a joke? Am I getting this right? The Norfed people thought that as long as they had silver to back up the coins, they could integrate their coin into the U.S. Currency system? That is totally ridiculous. I see no problem in minting "commemorative" non negotiable, Ron Paul dollars.... but to think they could be integrated into the U.S. currency system is just utter lunacy. As much as I hate the fact that the U.S. dollar is so weak and the reasons why its become so weak, I just can't justify every tom, dick and Harry coming up with their own currency and expecting to integrate into our system.
