Posted: 3/13/2008 12:48:48 PM | The economy is doing horrible in the U.S. If we here in Canada are complaining about the Economic situation in the U.S. , then you KNOW something MUST be terribly wrong there.
I used to respect Bush, but he failed miserably since the war began, and because of the war, among other reasons, the economy down there in the U.S. went down.
Yeah Bush got rid of Hussein, but how ironic will it be that the guy who will be the next U.S. President after Bush will have "Hussein" in his name. Kind of fitting if you think about it. Hussein will be in the White House after Bush is GONE, and America will be a better place because of it. | |

Posted: 3/13/2008 9:58:59 PM | Wow, when I just read the title of this thread, I knew it had to be a few years old...
I love to hear the idiotic rhetoric about the ignorance and arrogance of the wealthy. I think they have the Utopia you seek south of the US. Keep going until you see a sign that says "Welcome to Mexico". Then go anouther 100 yards, pull out your passport, and cut it into a million pieces. Thank you.
To those who complain about the rich getting richer... Maybe Capitalism isn't your cup of tea? Try eastern Europe perhaps... Some people have that "Work your whole life then you die" outlook. I'm sorry, but I just don't share that outlook.
OK, Lets hear it...  | |

Actually, my model would be American circa 1950-1980 , economically. Take a look at wage inequality then, and wage inequality now.
Take a look at corporate taxes, then and now.
Take a look at CEO and board of directors salaries, compared to workers, then and now.
Take a look at the numbers of poor people, and specifically the numbers of working poor, then and now.
Most of all take a look at the American economy now, with all this glorious money trickling down from Heaven like manna, and causing the economy to bloom like spring flowers after a long hard winter.
My problem's not with capitalism at all. It's with this modern incarnation of it. | |

Paul Krugman's latest column is a good read as well:

One might expect language like that from Ron Paul, but when the Comptroller General of the USA, a professional accountant, starts using dire-sounding words, we should pay attention:

Posted: 3/14/2008 10:04:04 AM | | They ask why is the economy so good. It shows that people dont understand the world or American and how it works. We are ok in the economy because war is the #1 biggest money making thing for an economy. This is why ALL REPUBLICANS like and want to go to war. It makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. Why is he bad? I know a lot may disagree but he ordered those planes to hit those towers to build up public opinion for his war. Why is Bush bad? He is in the works of starting the North American Union and changing our currency to the Amero. Do any of you guys understadn this and what is going on. I need all my Americas to wake up! | |

Posted: 3/14/2008 11:37:36 AM | Studies show that war is one of the worst ways to stimulate the economy.
Look at Iraq. What will the USA have to show for the trillions that will be spent? Military personnel that are tired, wounded, mentally ill or homeless. A large bill for hardware that needs to be replaced. A nation (Iraq) that can't stand on its own feet. Terrorists being created at a faster pace than they can be killed (according to every US government study I've seen during the war). | |

Posted: 3/14/2008 11:46:53 AM | | Hmmmm........maybe you dont know much about our economy or your history of politics. WAR IS THE #1 MONEY MAKING THING FOR A COUNTRY. For what we have spent how will we gain. Hmmmm........first we have to build more guns, more tanks, and more equipment for our soldiers. what does that equal to in America? More Jobs. The fact that Gas has doubled since the begging of the war. Who profits from that? I am sure that if you go do your homework and find out who owns anything that has profited since the war you will see that they have made more money than we have spent. The Vietnam war was worse than this and we made millions on that war. lol We didnt go into a ressesion after that. Matter fact if I am right in the 50's we were in a ressesion and the Vietnam War got us out of it. lol Dang it helps to know history! | |

The fact that the dollar is taking a hit only means that eventually it will ripple across every border to countries that deal with us and our new Harsh Taskmasters: The Chinese. | |

Posted: 3/14/2008 12:19:51 PM | I wasn't bashing the US. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. And sometimes if your currency is only worth half as much it costs you twice as much to buy something foriegn.
Canada is not immune to the prices of gas either, so, I don't see how you thought I was bashing america on that. | |

Hmmmm........maybe you dont know much about our economy or your history of politics.
I have a Masters degree in Economics! A major Department of Labor study is one of the many that have shown that military Keynesianism is (usually and on average) a poor way to stimulate the economy relative to other fiscal tools.
That's not to say that war is not big business. Last I heard, it is the biggest business in the world (alth0ugh oil has to be gaining fast). That's not to say that major Bush supporters haven't made out like bandits. They have.
And that's not to say that economics is or should be the only factor used to decide whether a nation should or should not go to war. Obviously there are other reasons.
I am just saying that, as an example, something like the Eisenhower interstate system probably has a better payback than the Iraq War. That's all. | |

Posted: 3/14/2008 12:26:41 PM | | Oh and Bush wants our dollar to fall because he wants support for the North American Union and the new dollar which is called the Amero. Also our gas prices had been going up since the begging of the war and our dollar didnt go down until Europe made the Euro which was half way through this war. | |

Posted: 3/14/2008 12:39:56 PM | | It says on your chart that we were stabalizing the dollar between the years of 1997 and 2001. Who's presidency is that accredited to? Isnt that Clinton? Our dollar had a downward spiral until 1997 and it starting going back down in 2001. Now in 2003 (after 9-11 year and war time) Our dollar from your chart went down double from what it was in 2001. By then we were already in war and the Euro came out in that same year of 2003. This is why Bush has messed us up but he wanted this. Why? To support the Amero and North American Union | |

Posted: 3/14/2008 12:53:11 PM | sckoul, I'm not disagreeing with you on Bush being a complete traitor to your nation. Believe me, I've done more than my share of research on what a lying little puke he really is. Take some time to study that grandfather report and you might come to wonder why no one has shot the prick.
He's mortgaged your country to the Chinese bigtime to finance his illegitimate war. The Chinese hold most of the cards in the deck now, and it don't matter whether a woman, or a man accused to be a moslem get voted in after this 18 month long dog and pony tv ratings show. The States are in a world of hurt economically, and yes it will spill over to us and other places.
For the first time in America's history they are a net importer of food for example is just one little gem you'll find in the grandfather report, which by the way, for the practicing economists in the crowd, Milton Friedman fully endorsed Mr. hodges economic review shortly before his passing last year.
It can take a couple fo days to go through the entire report, but it's cheaper than renting horror movies at Blockbuster, and even more scary | |

Posted: 3/14/2008 12:58:27 PM | | Yes I agree Bush did sign us away but its not him. He is the puppet. your in Cancada. The Bildaburg group was just there. this group consist of big Amercian familys (rothchilds and rockafellas and more), powerful people in may other coutnries. This group is the group that is making decisions. Please look up the North American Union which will take our borders away and look at the Amero which is being made to take the mexican Peso, the canadian dollar and american dollar and put them into one. We doing the same thing Europe just got done going through in 2004. please check this out: www.zeitgeistmovie.com. Its very informative. | |

Posted: 3/14/2008 1:03:24 PM | I have to head out and pick up a cheque from my lawyer in almost the same amount of dough i made last year. but if you do a thread search on Amero, NAU, Goodbye to Canada, zeitgist, etc, the illuminati, the bilderbergs etc, you'll find lots of folks here are aware of these things.
Some like to keep their head in the sand and argue day after day boorishly that Hilary or Obama would be better. Me it reminds me of the old Coors light commercials. Less filling, tastes great, less filling, tastes great, and in the end joe shmoe just keeps taking it up the arSe.
Have a good one.

Bush spoke hours after Bear Stearns, the fifth-largest U.S. securities firm, said it had received funding from the Fed and JPMorgan Chase & Co. to stem worsening finances. The central bank and the Treasury Department acted ``to mitigate disruptions to our financial markets,'' Bush said.
``Our economy obviously is going through a tough time,'' Bush said. ``It's going through a tough time in the housing market and it's going through a tough time in the financial markets.''
A surge in defaults on mortgages to higher-risk borrowers spurred the collapse of the U.S. home-loan market. Defaults have continued to rise even as the Fed has cut the benchmark interest rate five times since September.
``I believe that we're a resilient economy,'' Bush said. ``In the long run, I'm confident our economy will continue to grow because the foundation is solid.''
`The market is in the process of correcting itself,'' the president said. ``I believe there ought to be action, but I'm deeply concerned about law and regulation that will make it harder for the markets to recover.''
`Like Herbert Hoover'
``The president seems to be on a different economic planet than most Americans,'' Senator Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat, said after Bush's speech. Bush ``is looking more and more like Herbert Hoover'' by failing to take the steps necessary to reverse the rise in foreclosures and stabilize credit markets, Schumer, chairman of the congressional Joint Economic Committee, told a press conference in Washington. Hoover served as U.S. president from the start of the Great Depression in 1929 until 1933.

Posted: 3/14/2008 2:48:19 PM | Miller lite. Thanks bob. I thought all the way to the bank that one was wrong.
Point I was trying to make was that this dog and pony show we've all been treated to on the American airwaves the last year or so is such a complete farce when you watch how all the networks have completely blackballed this Ron Paul chap. I mean whether you like the guy or not, he's still hanging around to the point where it would have to actually be a bit embarrassing for any network exec that may have been blessed with any tiny semblance of a conscience.
Now that Guliani and Fred Thompson and a whole bunch of the other 'candidates' have gone by the boards, only now does the media have the gall to even mention this guy Ron Pauls name...and probably they have absolutely no explanation as to why this guy's still around when they refused to acknowledge him ever on the leader boards. What a total crock of co.ck and bull. It's been humourous in a dark sort of way to watch. It's kinda like watching tongue in cheek humour or comedy, except that it's supposedly a run for a presidency of a nation.. Too bad i can't figure out how to make a snorting sound by typing.
It's not like i'm hung up on Ron Paul, but if i were an American that wanted to know all about all the candidates, i sure as hell wouldn't waste time trying to find out anything legitimate on national television. They've made this election a complete sham and a farce. But that's just an opinion. But we do know that the majority of citizens get their current events from 30 minutes of news each day on TV. But having watched the lengths to which these networks go to to keep this guy from getting a fair shake, another (3rd) round of fixed voting machines in American politics wouldn't surprise me in the least later this year.
"""...Except its 30% less purchase power..."""
30% probably. Maybe more. But there's not much left of it now anyway.
Here, have a Miller lite on me.
It's less filling and it tastes OK. | |
