How can the economy be doing so well when spending out of congtrol?
•I thought Bush’s stimulus rebate checks, deficits & Wall Street bailouts were going to bankrupt our country; depreciate the dollar; and cause the stock market to tank. It never happened. Now Barack Hussein Obama is doing everything Bush did by a factor of 10. I mean, $billions for the car companies; billions for people to buy cars; stimulus spending; trill annual deficit; it’s unreal. Yet the 10-year T-bill is under 4% and the US dollar is holding up. Even unemployment, which is approaching 10%, isn’t as bad as it may seem with unemployment benefits lasting 79 weeks; and tremendous growth in fed’l gov’t hiring.
• In summary, can someone tell me how if the U.S. Gov’t can run up such deficits perpetually? Or are we in the middle of another huge bubble; this one centered around gov’t debt?
Why would anything bad happen when the Chinese stop buying our T-bills? Maybe they’ll buy shares of Exxon & Walmart instead? So what? Why can’t the Fed Resv Bank just keep buying billion of $$’s of bonds & Treasuries? In this manner, interest rates stay very low. And paying interest to the Federal Reserve Bank is like paying ourselves the money. Seriously, as long as the Federal Reserve Bank can own trillions of $$’s of debt, which they can do; then I don’t necessarily see high inflation or massive unemployment.
Do you agree with Kucinich on the massive bailout bill that (corrupt) Congress just passed?

"The 0 billion bailout for Wall Street, is driven by fear not fact. This is too much money in too a short a time going to too few people while too many questions remain unanswered.
Why aren’t we having hearings on the plan we have just received? Why aren’t we questioning the underlying premise of the need for a bailout with taxpayers’ money? Why have we not considered any alternatives other than to give 0 billion to Wall Street? Why aren’t we asking Wall Street to clean up its own mess? Why aren’t we passing new laws to stop the speculation, which triggered this? Why aren’t we putting up new regulatory structures to protect investors? How do we even value the 0 billion in toxic assets?
Why aren’t we helping homeowners directly with their debt burden? Why aren’t we helping American families faced with bankruptcy. Why aren’t we reducing debt for Main Street instead of Wall Street? Isn’t it time for fundamental change in our debt based monetary system, so we can free ourselves from the manipulation of the Federal Reserve and the banks? Is this the United States Congress or the board of directors of Goldman Sachs? Wall Street is a place of bears and bulls. It is not smart to force taxpayers to dance with bears or to follow closely behind the bulls."
jeremy: Yeah, that’s a good speech, too!
Why do you think you have a choice to or not to vote?
This is a crucial election for everyone. Voters from every age group, every level of our economy, every state, every party, and everyone able to vote needs to vote to protect themselves. This Congress even more than the President has failed their voters. Each and most likely every one of us has taken enough financial abuse at the gas pumps because this President and this Congress did not take a stand for us. If you are unable to meet your mortgage, the radically increasing and fluctuating fuel prices have contributed the most to your troubles. By the time the fuel prices added their costs to production by farmers, to transportation costs, and to every other activity in our economy alone… Well, you know what has happened to our economy and it should not have happened. On Wall Street, there are more actors than in Hollywood or DC. Take a cup with some coffee in it; you could spend all day discussing how full or how empty the cup is; and by the time your discussion ends, the coffee will be stagnant and unsafe to drink. The petroleum investors on Wall Street and World Wide toyed with our lives and our futures until they realized that they goofed big time. They nearly murdered their own markets and nearly committed suicide. Now, everyones financial resources are stressed to the limits (except bankruptcy lawyers, a viable source of future work for the lawyers who need to be voted out of DC) and our Governments at all levels are beyond that point, too. It would cause us to revolt if we knew how much we are expected to pay for the likes of Exxon_Mobile to make record profits. Now do you finally get the picture? You have only one alternative to save your own butts. VOTE!
