Loading ...arent you watching the great debate from Mississipi. The debaters are offering you important choices - you can vote for socialistic steps by government OR you can vote for socialistic steps by government. [G]
How are you feeling? You just reminded me why I must do what I have started down here..eh Stoners.
A scorpion came out of the desert to the banks of the Nile, whereupon he accosted a crocodile. “My dear chap,” he said to the crocodile, “could we form an alliance to get to the other side of the Nile?”
The crocodile answered, “Do you think I am stupid? I would be at your complete mercy. You could sting me and kill me at any time during the crossing.”
“Of course not,” said the scorpion. “I promise not to sting you, because if I did sting you, I would drown.”
The crocodile thought for a second and then agreed this made sense and took the scorpion on his back. About midstream, the scorpion became agitated and stung the crocodile.
As the two were about to go under, the crocodile turned to the scorpion and said, “Now we will both die. What possible explanation or logic is there for such an act?”
‘It is my nature.’

Quoting a Buygold posting of 21:13 that mentioned “sick and tired”, I admit to getting sick and tired of Goldtent postings that seem to have faulty math. If that is a problem to rectify, get a calculator. The ones made in China are quite inexpensive these days. Equiz.
You and me both brother.
If we band together, we should be able to topple one of those castles. We can do it!!!

Could be a double top, but I don’t look at it that way. I see an Inverse H&S Continuation Pattern over the past two years; what appears to be a double top may be the two highs of the neck. Could go just under 4300 from here next week before the next advance.
Who said none of us are safe as long as Congress is in session? These idiots, true to form, are injecting pork into the “Bail-Out”, never mind the whole premise of giving money to those thieves is ill conceived from the start ( even some funds for Acorn! Give me a break). It’s all about politics and urgency to do something and get back to the re-election business, blame everyone else, and make a gazillion dollars at our expense. Is it possible to look beyond a purely political perspective and do something Constitutional for a change? Not holding my breath. Sick and tired of the lies, distortions, disinformation and propaganda blasted at us constantly. The attacks on gold never cease, supporting the market (Dow up over a hundred today=insanity). Maybe the “system” thrust on the US in 1913 has been a ruinous disaster and needs to implode and a new start begin. My heads gonna explode if I don’t get some whitewater quick!

Tax on Trades Should Be Part of Rescue Plan, Some Democrats Say
By Laura Litvan
Sept. 25 (Bloomberg) — A group of House Democrats is proposing to make Wall Street companies and investors pay more of the cost of any financial rescue plan through a new tax.
In a letter sent late yesterday to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 16 Democrats asked her to ensure any rescue legislation include a ``transaction tax” on all U.S. stock trades and on other types of trades, such as credit default swaps, options and futures. They are proposing the tax would be at a rate of one quarter of one percent on all trades.
“The same Wall Street speculators and investors who are principally responsible for having caused this avoidable financial crisis and profited from it must now be required to pay for it, not U.S. taxpayers,” according to the letter, which was signed by Representative Peter DeFazio, an Oregon Democrat, and Representative Pete Stark, a California Democrat.
In a news conference today, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she would support some mechanism that could return more funds to Treasury coffers if the $700 billion to be spent to acquire troubled investments isn’t later recouped. She didn’t endorse any specific proposal and suggested it is likely to be explored later.
“You might make a judgment down the road that there is a shortfall and it should be covered,” Pelosi said.

Right up my alley, except that one looks pretty derelict..
Have you been inside it and how much do they want for that sugar shack?
“If the government does not care how far foreign exchange rates may rise, it can for some time continue to cling to credit expansion, but one day the crack-up boom will annihilate its monetary system.” - Mises
At only $425 per adult citizen, that is the argument the cretans ought to be making. We can each easily afford to contribute that to Christmas bonuses.
Would suggest that you check the math that was used in the calculation on that last post - 85,000,000,000 / 200,000,000 = 425 not 425,000.
Did you check that guy’s math? Seems to be way off to me.
