I agree. And America is in the worst position because we are the biggest consumer and debtor. We dont have any plans of paying back our money, sooner or later we will get screwed for it.

That appreciation is not real. It is based unsubstainable low interest rates in an inflationatory economy that keeps alive by borrowing and not actually making money. Thats what you dont get. The overblown equity value you state is based on borrowed money which isnt real. The bubbles are not real money making.

I missed 9 pages of talking but want to respond to this if anyone hasnt. You cant grow the economy on borrowed money. So we borrow billions to create jobs and this will give people money and jobs, but all that money is borrowed and needs to be paid back. If that money is used to build infrastructure and buy cars and homes that prop up bad companies and support people that cant afford their bad mortgages, how do we pay back the money????? Where do we actually make the money??? Where are the goods and services that produces the money??? We are just passing around borrowed money to prop up

Consider your house an expense and not as an investment. Your house may very lose value in the coming years. I know market is low now but we havent hit bottom. And when we do, dont expect the housing market to rebound to prices we've seen before. Housing prices most likely will find a place and stay steady and increase or decrease with inflation or deflation. Housing equity rising is no longer or will it ever be what it used to. Pay for a home you like to live in and live in it, dont expect it to make you money.

He's going to address the nation tonight. Probably a speech very much like what he gave yesterday. It's good, I think the general America needs to hear it. I think its interesting that he just passed the gigantic stimulis and now he talks about how we have to "pay as you go" and be responsible. Its kind of contradicting. With the $350 billion left over from the first one and now near $800 billion more from this one, he is set with well over a trillion borrowed money to spend in his term. It's kind of like he did this great stimulis to please a bunch of people politically and now he want

Agree he is much better than Bush and McCain. I am talking about the same old as in blowing our Debts out of the galaxy. We as a nation have always borrowed and printed money to solve all our problems. This is basically just pushing all our problems into the future and never really dealing with it. To actually deal with our real problem, we cant borrow anymore and we cant print more money. We have to make better with what we now have and make.

A better word is propaganda. Politics. They use fear to sell an idea. It was a method that Bush used to sell war. Now Obama is using it to pass gigantic stimulis and bailouts.

Most people in America supported the Iraq war before we found out it was a complete waste.

Wanna start with the fact I voted for Obama. I have had many issues with what he has done thus far. I still have problems with alot of his plans he is laying out right now from all the bailouts and stimulis. Seems like he is doing the same old routine when he ran on change. This speech he gave today finally gave me some hope he may start to change into what we actually need. Dont know what will happen, but if he sticks to his word, he will have to make some tough choices that he hasnt made so far. My hope is he can make them and stop the madness that is happening right now. We need

This is pretty good but you have to also mention how the money from the stimilus will benefit the irresponsible people the most, thus encouraging this behavior. Let's keep bailing the bad business out! In America, we dont work for money, we just print it.

Mortgage Plan just plain bad. http://www.cnbc.com/id/29331920

link here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090220/ap_on_bi_ge/gm_stock So who now still thinks we should bail them out? Who also thinks it was a good use of money with the first billions? What a waste of our money. GM, you suck! Makes you appreciate Ford alot more.

People still will want some kind of physical media to have and carry around. What would you do if you want to go somewhere and want to take a movie, game, or any data with you? You cant have everything on the internet and have it downloaded at instant speeds. Even in future sci-fi shows, they use some kind of memory format that gets carried around. Things will never be solely on the internet. If anything is going to replace the blu-ray, its memory chips. The technology isnt there yet for the memory chip to replace the disc format, and in the meantime, blu-rays will slowly gain market

I got shut out on tickets to this. I did just buy the 5 poster set though. It is on sale at wilcoworld. only about $64 for the whole set delivered. Plan to get them framed somehow.

I'd enjoy watching Griffey moving up the alltime HR count. Go griffey!

I don't think its racist. I think its controversial and that sells.

Dash 7 maybe the Roland Burris of Alpha Monkey.

hehe

Natural progression of technology is HD and everything is moving that way. Blu-ray is the HD player of choice. The market and technology is set on it. Prices will come down and it will eventually take over. Doesnt matter how long it takes, its the direction its headed. The future of media after blu-ray will be in the form of memory chips.

Amsterdam, Netherlands. Where you can the best weed from a menu at a bar and even fresh psychodelic shrooms at your local drug store. Where prositutes are legal. All this causing a culture unlike any you have felt. Not to mention the beautiful architecture with canals running through the whole city and wonderful resturants and nightlife. I felt like I was living in a dream world when I was there.

I'm actually a big Borat fan. I liked the movie, but his HBO stuff was the best.

You cant beat fat naked guy wrestling.

Its happening right now. There's nothing to wait for.

Him leaving was a possibility, but more so, he wouldnt have gotten that year of experience and team building going into this next season. Basically Favre playing would most likely have put Green Bay in a worse position for the sake of him playing another year. I guess it depends if you think it that wouldve been worth it. As a non-Favre fan, I say its not worth it. But I can see how big Favre fans wouldnt care about it.

I think your logic is right.
