Sure, enjoy your national debt. Nothing has changed, right? In a couple of weeks it will be just like before - super-sized consumption and no worries - just in time for Christmas. You will no doubt be getting yourself a new Smith & Wesson and a bottle of bourbon for Christmas, because it seems you had no brains anyway.
Sadly, it seems many children and families are getting bullets as early Christmas gifts. Family suicides ensues in this economic turmoil. Like in Porter Ranch in Los Angeles.
Ah, you mean all you and your buddy arealpissedgoy just wanted a little friendship? LOL. I'd never have known. Good to see that you two have aligned yourselves. A bird of the feather so to speak. OldTrader
OldTrader, don't get frustrated that pissedgov really has out-reasoned you. Just go take a Geritol and drink some prune juice, and you won't be all jammed up.
There is no correlation between rising debt and under-performance of the stock market. George W.

Once his plan to CUT MEDICARE benefits is put in the TV ads; take a guess of what the reaction of the huge Medicare dependent population of Florida will be. Then to compound his problem in Fl. the following McClain quote will only add to his troubles in this state with 27 electoral votes: âOpening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.â Written by McCain recently in the Magazine CONTINGENCIES in the Sept Oct issue, LinK: http://www.contingencies.org/septoct08/mccain.pdf QED ps-the INTRADE market for Florida now has Obama at 63% vs. McCain's 37% and if I recall INTRADE has the best track record of any predictive mechanism-though I'm going on memory and could not cite a source.
