He has no clue as to how to inwind. Better to just jawbone about it and sweet talk your way through it until you leave office. Let the next guy deal with it. Kind of like what Congress and the Prez are doing.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 4, 2013 -> 02:07 PM) We are about 40 points from an all-time high on the Dow. All it took was 2+ trillion expansion of the Fed balance sheet. God help us when the house of cards falls. not even the Fed is bigger than Mr. Market. Although the Bernank thinks he is. All parabolic market moves return to their origin, and for the S&P that would take us into the mid 400's. Their are some big long term cycles due to exert their influence between now, 2013 thru 2016. Should make for an exciting election. When rates rise they will be unable to sell the junk, if they even know what they own. And 100 billion more in interest payments for every 100 basis point move in rates will be crippling to the gov't. Pay off your debt while you can. Going out on a limb with a crazy prediction, the dollar falls as a reserve currency within 4 years.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 4, 2013 -> 12:19 PM) Everybody's seen the proverbial welfare queen buying all that food on foodstamps and then paying cash for her fillets and booze and then loading it up into her new Caddy! Or at least every conservative seems to have seen someone like that. To whatever extent that there's TANF/SNAP/WIC/Link fraud, nothing Duke's said would have any impact on that. This fraud probably happens more now than it did when there were actually food stamps. You have to give these people credit though, some were very creative. One person used to photocopy her food stamps and try to pass them. But when the blue $5 looks like the brown $1 it is kind of hard to keep a straight face. These dirtballs know the ins and outs and they know the beauracrcy will never catch up to them. And the liberal freaks that want their votes will never do anything to enforce the law. If these people worked 1/2 as hard searching for a job as they do cheating the tax payer, we would be in a better place. And yes I worked at Jewel for five years in the early 90's and saw it all, including your example of getting into a nice car. The only thing you left out was taking their money out of their bra or shoe to pay for their non-food items.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 4, 2013 -> 12:15 PM) Then why haven't you reported this problem to the authorities? It's not difficult. Here's the form. LOL. Uh excuse me, can I have your address and social security #, I would like to report you for fraud.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 1, 2013 -> 09:20 AM) Giant recession? Increased unemployment? Larger deficit? Sold Sold Agreed. They are not cutting spending.

Prepare yourselves. Pestulance and famine and maybe even locusts will feast upon the U.S. today......Imagine what would happen if they actually cut spending?

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Feb 21, 2013 -> 02:59 PM) Plus he is being funded by Friends of Hamas! The green sarcasm did not come through. But i think that was your point. Do you really need to add that s*** in this thread. Post it in the Dem thread.

I don't have a violin big enough to play for you guys.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 14, 2013 -> 09:41 AM) Remember that time Democrats blocked one particular judge using a dumb procedural gimmick? That's totally just like Republicans blocking a vote on every nominee to the NLRB and the CPFB in an effort to nullify the existence of those bodies and the refusal to allow a vote on a former Republican Senator for Secretary of Defense. Except Sen turban said we can't allow "him" to be the first Hispanic to sit on the S.C. That is only allowed for the sympathetic, feel your pain liberals. The end justifed the means even though your stated means were not the true means.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 13, 2013 -> 06:32 PM) Hooray! The Senate is functional again! Nominees can actually get a vote!!!!! Oh, wait... Miguel Estrada feels your pain.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 6, 2013 -> 11:18 AM) CBO has some new debt projections out: can we please get back to worrying about the 5% GDP output gap and the +7% unemployment now?? GIGO!

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 7, 2013 -> 04:59 PM) http://wonkette.com/500403/bill-oreilly-ma...ink#more-500403 This is why the reflexive "liberal media!!!" stuff is so silly. How long have the WAPO and NYT known about this drone base in Saudi Arabia?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 10:34 AM) The redistricting tables won't turn for at least two more Presidential elections, and that's if Democrats could make enough gains against the heavily gerrymandered districts to take control of the state legislatures. They're only pushing for this in states that went for Obama but are controlled by Republicans. I'm not seeing Georgia or Texas Republicans wanting to adopt this system. It's just unusual that they're being so brazen. Weren't three R's gerrymandered out of their seats right here in Illinois? Both sides do it. It seems like this is an issue because the northern states are losing population and electoral votes to the south and they don't like it. If the northern states did more to keep their populace from moving they would be less prone to whining. Hey I realize I live in a corrupt state that does nothing to face up to its problems. And they will replace this tool with another tool who has as her father, the most corrupt politician to ever be elected. But hey its the Chicago Way, even if its Springfield.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Jan 19, 2013 -> 02:34 AM) I haven't visited the buster in years. I'm not planning on clicking on any other threads. However, I did want to post this here and see what the reacton(s) might be. I just posted this on Facebook, so some of you have or will see it there as well. Gun control leads to gun confiscation which leads to a gun free population. Liberals love that thought! But, there is one more part in this equation: A gun free population is a helpless, controlled population. It's the proverbial slippery slope. America used to be a nation that would take so much, but only so much before it collectively said "Hell No! This will not stand!" I don't know if that America still exists. We've been indoctrinated since youth by public education, morally corrupted by various forms of entertainment, spiritually supressed by the elimination of God from our public lives, and brainwashed by a complicit newsmedia. My generation has witnessed the slow and steady progression toward "The Wussification of America". Just this week, two little 6 year old boys were suspended from school for playing cops and robbers by simulating guns with their hands and yelling "Pow!". What happened to letting little boys actually be little boys? These kids are growing up without a gender identity, or a confused one at best. Boys are growing up not knowing who they are supposed to be. The messages they are receiving are suppressing their potential manhood. If a boy shows signs of not following the program, they pump them full of Ritalin or some other mind-messing drug and stick a label on them of 'troubled'. Women, you've been victimized by this grand scheme also. You are now in the work force because it takes two incomes to make any progress, but they are also collecting taxes from twice as many workers as they were just two generations ago. While you bring home the bacon, you send your kids to their indoctrination camps knows as school, come home from work tired and not quite as on top of things as you should be when it comes to what they are teaching your kids. Now, I know it's dad's responsibility too but we used to have at least one parent with their fingers on the pulse of their kids' lives at all times. We need to wake up before it's too damn late. Totally understand why you rarely post here anymore. Like you, I and several others are doing the same thing. Every topic is a circle jerk, that leads to the same logic.

Narcissus news conference right now. LOL..... Question....Mr Narcissus , how many times did you vote in favor of raising the debt ceiling while in the Senate?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 11, 2013 -> 11:47 AM) Did everyone enjoy their 2% SS tax "increase" today (this was my first pay period of the year)? Better yet, I would like Narcissus to explain how we make up for the several hundred billion that never went into the fund.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 10, 2013 -> 12:32 PM) they also have this, unfortunately: that's sorta what I mean by your choices being constrained or at least heavily influenced by culture/markets. http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Music/violin-011.gif

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 7, 2013 -> 09:54 AM) http://myfox8.com/2013/01/06/ga-mom-shoots...saves-children/ She should have waited for the cops... Mom of the year. How did she miss on the 6th?

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jan 3, 2013 -> 09:19 PM) So it would be okay if we passed the following bill because the front cover of it read Aid and Sandy. Resolution for Quick and Immediate Aid for the Victims of Superstorm Sandy Article 1. ) 75 million in aid to X. Article 2.) 100 million in aid to Y. Addendum 7083d.) 4 F-35 Jets for overwatch. Because here is some of the pork that was part of the bill... •$2 million to repair damage to the roofs of museums in Washington, D.C., while many in Hurricane Sandy’s path still have no roof over their own heads. •$150 million for fisheries as far away from the storm’s path as Alaska. •$125 million for the Department of Agriculture’s Emergency Watershed Protection program, which helps restore watersheds damaged by wildfires and drought. •$20 million for a nationwide Water Resources Priorities Study. •$15 million for NASA facilities, though NASA itself has called its damage from the hurricane ‘minimal.’ •$50 million in subsidies for tree planting on private properties. •$336 million for taxpayer-supported AMTRAK without any detailed plan for how the money will be spent. •$5.3 billion for the Army Corps of Engineers – more than the Corps’ annual budget – with no statement of priorities about how to spend the money. •$12.9 billion for future disaster mitigation activities and studies, without identifying a single way to pay for it. It's called investing. LOL....one addendum to this bill should be mandatory disaster insurance for any loon that wants to rebuild on or near the ocean. Taxpayers should not foot the bill for the stupidity of people to build houses so close to water.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jan 1, 2013 -> 06:34 PM) I believe this hard of a fight will result in the very best compromise we could hope for. I really hope there is no move to increase the debt ceiling. We may finally be putting the brakes on government borrowing. SOLD!!!!!!!!!! And the debt will be repaid.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Dec 30, 2012 -> 02:02 PM) it really is a shame that facts, history and the truth skew liberal...

People are deluding themselves if they believe Washington is going to cut the deficit. It has not happened, is not happening, and will never happen. Current day Washington is Illinois and Cali 5-10 years ago. The current gov't is unsustainable. Sadly, it will be a few years before people realize it. I say let NARCISSUS have whatever he wants. Without blowing up the Budget Control Act this problem only festers and grows.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Dec 27, 2012 -> 12:56 PM) What are ur guys thoughts on the David Gregory assault weapon scandal? How many years in jail should he get? 10? 20? 30? Life.

I have not read this entire thread, but has anyone heard how this nut was able to enter the school?
