Exactly how are the Republicans trying to keep prices high? And btw, you and Knute need to get on the same page, as he's reporting the good things Obama is doing to artificially keep home prices up.

Re: Bad News for the Party of NO

If the economy turns around, Republicans will mmake even make more money, which means Oh no higher taxes. I always wished I was paying a million a year in taxes, because that would mean I was pulling in a pretty good income. Repubs don't think that way.

where did they get the money ? as we all know, they borrowed it.

if the government borrows 3/4 of a trillion dollars from those with money to lend, thats 3/4 of a trillion not available for lending to anyone else.

now if the government haw its own money to lend then it might be q different story. even then, it would have been better to simply give back that money that it took via taxation and return it. then the consumer portion of the economy, you know the part that represents 70 %, wel it could get back to doing what it does.

see, wasnt that easy to understand ?

Re: Bad News for the Party of NO

There is amble evidence that government spending has a detrimental effect on the GDP.

Government "stimulus" spending effect lass than 1?

Besides drying up capital, it makes poor investments, and inefficient investments.

Re: Bad News for the Party of NO

Who is this turn around working for?
Wall Street Boys and Girls?
The Rich that did not lose much?

When the average person is asked on the street they are telling a totally different story, or is it they are just to stupid to know better?

and why ? because t-bills are safer as a risk.

moreover, DC made it clear that they would come a-callin.

so US banks were screwed up and unable to obtain access to this money. but others were not. it was just a matter of time before they started looking elsewhere and not long as those with money cannot just sit on the cash.

we rather predictably, made life easy for them and dramatically increased our dependence.

You could be a little slow. You think it's the Republicans that are trying to keep the prices artificially high? Seriously, do you even know what's going on in this country? The Dems pushed out a bill that gave first time home buyers $8k. That caused more people to buy houses and the influx added to the free $8k down payment causes artificial pricing on the houses.

*sigh* kids these days.

How about reducing government waste which would reduce taxes also....I see you live in NY as I do.....the taxes we working class pay out is BS, all freaking government waste.

Poor people forget one important thing....The rich keep the nation going, they invest their money.....Money that gets used for new job growth and etc.

The more taxes they have to pay in, the less that get invested....it not like they wipe their ass's or smoking all that money....

so while you may have a chip on your shoulder over rich people, you better think again about how they contribute to this country.

Sorry, but you are wrong. For each buck on their accounts, who ever it owns, a bank can borrow nine bucks form the fed - but it hs to give give it away as a loan. Who ever buys this loan after someone else signed that he will repay it, can borrow 8.1 bucks from the fed and give it away as a loan, too. That loan can be sold and the fed will grant a fresh loan of 90% of the previous loans size, as well. If you take this effect to an extreme, with it's .75 trillion loan, the government might actually have enabled loans in dimensions a common handheld calculator might not be able to calculate.

It's important to know that ALL money circulating was created by debt, that the system needs fresh money or it will collapse horribly, and that debt is the only source of new fresh money. And due to the fact that there is interest on the loans and that the banks have to repay the fed, there is always more debt than money circulating in the system.

The problem is that with each and every new dollar bill, all dollar bills are worth less. And in every monetary system, there is that amount of X dollar bills which marks the point of no return, the moment when "worth less" becomes "worthless".

So the question that I must ask, Do you know that Beck and Limbaugh are regurgitating the so called right wing from Listening, Watching? Or are you just regurgitating from the other side what has been said?

Yes at the start Limbaugh did have some points, but today?

I have watched a few of the Beck's show and from the ones that I have seen, He has no Love for either the GOP or the DNC.

I know that I have for the last 15 years really started questioned Both Sides..

The DNC bought the items for the cake, Then the GOP mixed and baked the Cake , Then the DNC iced the cake,

To believe that Just one party is to blame for the mess... is to be blind.
