Then expect a total collapse of the current economic system. The math just doesn't add up and if no change in policiy is imminent the chances of that happeneing are 100%. It is only a matter of time. Government intervention in the economy always results in higher costs for the taxpayer and the consumer. Just look at government college loan subsidies, Obamacare, etc. There is no incentive to keep prices down and little competition to do so when the supplier can count on the government paying the bills and not the individual.

Yep, Chomsky and Turley below are real nut cases. How do you think they will get the US involved in an attack on Iran? Nations have been doing this for years. Battleship Maine, Lusitania, Gulf Of Tonkin, Operation Northwoods, etc., etc. To get the people to back an unpopular military action nations have created incidents to mislead their people into war. It is fact. “Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple m

It has been his MO for years. I think many people are getting tired of the same old rhetoric being used to promote Zionism. Not all Jews are Zionists. Not all Muslims are jihadists. Zionist terrorism is just as bad as jihad terror. We should stay out of that conflict altogether or we will surely pay a terrible price in American lives. But, I don't think that is going to happen. The war plans are complete and about to be implemented I'm afraid. This doesn't bode well for the future either...

That's why you don't understand what the Fed is doing to our economic system, Lou. You have to try to put aside your biases and try to get something out of it. I grudgingly listen to and read about what Obama and Romney say and I can't stomach either of them. You take a little from here and a little from there to try to piece things together. If you don't try to learn something new or get someone's perspective that doesn't quite jive with your own then you get stuck in the same old left right paradigm that brings us nowhere.

If you want to gain some knowledge of the destructive policies of the Federal Reserve and how neither candidate or other politician, except for two or three, is addressing the real reason why we will never recover economically no matter who is president, watch this. It is not that complicated. Stockman explains it all including how crony capitalism and Fed. policies are destroying capitalism. Borrowing more to pay the bills and debt that resulted from excessive borrowing is crazy. There is no good end to what they are doing. Both Obama or Romney will be powerless to stop what is in progress an

Quantitative Easing Did Not Work For The Weimar Republic Either Did printing vast quantities of money work for the Weimar Republic? Nope. And it won't work for us either. If printing money was the secret to economic success, we could just print up a trillion dollars for every American and be done with it. The truth is that making everyone in America a trillionaire would not mean that we would all suddenly be wealthy. There would be the same amount of "real wealth" in our economy as before. But what it would do is render our currency meaningless and totally destroy faith in our financia

These are the assholes who have the ears of our leaders... Israeli Lobbyist Blatantly Suggests a False Flag Event for War With Iran Even in the age of YouTube, this is pretty stunning. This is the response of Patrick Clawson, who heads the Washington Institute’s Iran Security Initiative, in response to a question about what should happen if negotiations with Tehran fail.

Voted. I can't wait for the junk emails to come now.

Tweedy convinced me...I'm voting for Gary Johnson.

There's hope for you yet.

Didn't we avoid war with the USSR and China for over a half century? We can avoid war with Iran by minding our own business. We have been told since 1992 that Iran is on the verge of nuclear weapons. http://www.veteranstoday.com/2012/09/20/1992-breaking-news-netanyahu-says-iran-close-to-nuclear-weapon/ The lies continue. We marched into the Middle East we can march out to paraphrase the former presidential candidate from Texas. It is that simple. Neither Obama nor Romney will have the balls to stand up to Israel and tell them to we are not going to back them if they attack Iran. We have hundr

Check out what Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher said the other day.... "The truth, however, is that nobody on the committee, nor on our staffs at the Board of Governors and the 12 Banks, really knows what is holding back the economy. Nobody really knows what will work to get the economy back on course. And nobody – in fact, no central bank anywhere on the planet – has the experience of successfully navigating a return home from the place in which we now find ourselves. No central bank – not, at least, the Federal Reserve – has ever been on this cruise before." Way to instill confide

This is funny...

The problems we face come from over spending and over borrowing and the solution proposed by the Federal Reserve and our brilliant politicians is more over spending and over borrowing. That is nothing but a Ponzi Scheme and it will end like a Ponzi scheme ends. Probably much sooner than later. Good luck with that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWDJEc92d38

Lou, the institution that allows both parties to keep spending to infinity is the Federal Reserve. They just keep on creating fiat money out of nothing for both parties to spend on war, bailouts, welfare, pet projects, etc., etc. It is the politicians private money printing press. We really don't have to pay taxes because they create so much money for the pols to spend, our tax money is but a drop in the bucket when you look at what our debt is.That's why it should be the main issue of this campaign and future ones. It is the reason our currency is being devalued and why we have suffered the c

Beatles 96% Some Ringo tunes, Revloution #9 and Maxwell's Silver Hammer drop them a few points. Dr. Dog 95% Not too many I don't listen to. Wilco 85% Never listen to WTA except for One Wing. -5 just for You And I. Neil Young 80% Early stuff makes up for some crap in the 80's but have to deduct some points because of it. CSNY, CSN 80% Again, heavy on the early stuff, big fall off after the mid 70's Poco 70% Great stuff until Furay left. Dropped off my radar after Schmidt left. Jay Hawks 60% Hollywood Town Hall one of my favorites. After the Green Grass #2. Most of

Dr. Dog came on a little after 8PM and played to about 9:40. They might not be on the level of Wilco, but who is? They have quite a few songs I would rank up there pretty high with my favorites however. Pretty catchy tunes with decent lyrics and I like both singers voices. Like I said, I will give them a couple of more albums to see what they can do but I've been listening to them in the car and on the iPod pretty regularly since the summer and haven't tired of them yet. Seeing them live has only added to my opinion of them.

This is the issue that needs to be discussed and no candidate currently in the race is discussing it. Keynesian economics and the Federal Reserve are destroying us...

My son dragged my ass up to Boston last night to see Dr. Dog again at the Royale. I have to say if I was to pick another band other than Wilco to obsess over I think it would be them. They are fast becoming my next favorite band. Will they challenge my allegiance to the boys from Chicago? I'll give them a couple of more albums before I make any drastic decisions but damn they are good live. Cotton John opened but we got up there late because of traffic on the Mass. Pike and only heard three songs. They were ok but kind of mellow for my tastes. I think I was the oldest person in the theater. H
