    Economic Growth Rate Downgraded to Anemic 1.6 Percent in Second Quarter

    Whether we're talking about economic reports or company profits, YonY comparisons are usually a better way to compare performance since it takes seasonality out of the equation. However, the above also assumes we're in a "normal" economic cycle. When clearly we are not. The past ~6 quarters...

    Economic Growth Rate Downgraded to Anemic 1.6 Percent in Second Quarter

    Getting back on topic...Q1, 2011 should be the 1st quarter of the double dip. Once the repubs get more seats in the house and senate, there will be no more stimulus programs aimed to help the middle/working class.

    Economic Growth Rate Downgraded to Anemic 1.6 Percent in Second Quarter

    You provided the 3 essential facts which are the causes of the problem right now. Debt can't save the day this time because the world is basically at its credit limit. Borrow more $$$ and interest rates will rise. Print more $$$ and interest rates will rise and the local currency fall...

    Economic Growth Rate Downgraded to Anemic 1.6 Percent in Second Quarter

    The big shot government peeps (Bush, Cheney, Paulson, foreign governments, etc.) and big business people knew all along it wouldn't work, but it stabilzed the world economy long enough to give them ample time to shift their assets around in time to protect their $$$. And I got a chance to...

    And Now We're Headed For The GREATEST Depression

    It's your right to believe whatever you want but keep in mind, the "consumer" would like to consume but they can't spend what they don't have through wage increases or increasing debt. In my own situation, I have NOT received about $20k over the last ~3 years due to cut backs at work (i.e., no...

    And Now We're Headed For The GREATEST Depression

    It's not that simple. If the big companies and small countries weren't bailed out (i.e., the banks, GM, Chrysler, Greece, Spain, etc.), it would have started a domino effect via the world-wide derivatives market (DM). Supposedly, the DM (i.e., "bets" on literally EVERY kind of happenings...

    Obama claims GOP trying to destroy Social Security

    At this point in time, I'm completely indifferent to SS and everyone else's view on "fairness" with respect to SS. I've paid my actual share of taxes as both a W2 earner and a self-employed business owner for 25+ years and saved a fair amount along the way. So if anyone (to include myself)...

    Obama claims GOP trying to destroy Social Security

    It's my right to speak my mind and if you don't like it, move to another country where free speech isn't generally free, or at least stop pleading your case that you need ever more to be content in life no matter what happens to anyone else. It's flat out greed you're conveying.

    Obama claims GOP trying to destroy Social Security

    Steal your money? Consider it just another tax that you won't be getting back and a necessary measure to keep a broken system going for a little longer to help keep society sane. If you've got $3M+, I'd say the "system" has been VERY generous to you and you'll still do just fine without the...

    Obama claims GOP trying to destroy Social Security

    The 1st fix....take all SS benefits away from anyone who has a lot of assets (e.g., $3 million plus) within the past 7 years (i.e., to prevent moving assets for fraud).

    Obama claims GOP trying to destroy Social Security

    Which is why the "destitute" in their old age (perhaps myself included) will be eating Alpo for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Does anyone really believe our kids will be willing to pay for "old people" to be retired (and/or for old people to still collect SS and work minimum wage jobs) when they...

    Is an oil free future even possible with current and forseeable future technology?

    All your references seem to center around hydrogen fuels not making sense if the hydrogen is produced by buring coal or natual gas and I agree, that wouldn't be green energy. I'm talking about a combo solar (or wind) and hydrogen fuel powered electricity generating power plants. When the sun...

    Is an oil free future even possible with current and forseeable future technology?

    Not that it would happen anytime soon because the big oil firms and politians won't let it, but why not build many solar arrays and wind farms and use the electricity to produce hydrogen fuels which would then be transported all over the country using the existing pipeline infrastructure system...

    What is your solution for an economy that is experiencing a deflationary spiral?

    1. Go to war and create artificial demand/supply of military goods which constantly needs to be replaced. Oh....I forgot, we're already in a couple of wars and it's not working. 2. Massive government debt spending to create artifical demand/supply of goods and services. Oh...I forgot...

    How much RAM do current games use?

    4GBs if good for any app except maybe video encoding, etc. I've got 1 pc with 8GBs and 1 with 4GBs and don't notice much difference in gaming, surfering, etc. I've got 8GBs in the 1 pc because I intend on doing video editing in the near future.

    Unemnployment insurance increased to 99 weeks. Socialist Amerika :(

    Anyone who has collected 99 weeks of unemployment payments and still not found a comparable paying job to the 1 you had before...it's time to get a minimum wage job (or whatever else you can fine). Yeah..it sucks, but it has to end sometime.

    47% of Democrats think government run health insurance is good

    What are you talking about with the "cost control front"? The only ones who got a cost break were really sick people and poor people; and the rest of the middle class (i.e., ME and 99.9% of the peeps on this MB) gets to pick up the tab with increased health insurance premiums. I think it's...

    So, how will spending our way out of recessions end?

    It seems like the world wide "debt game" is starting to end faster than anyone ever expected. Aren't China and Japan the only super powers left with currency reserves? Seems like China has ~$2.5T and Japan ~$2T (minus their $1.5T in debt from the 80's/90's in shell banks)?

    Anyone want a cheap 20ga auto shotty?

    How's the quality of your son's CD SA? Any issues with shells ejecting? I ordered 2 of these from Aim (1 for me and 1 for my 12 year old), but I've been reading some peeps had issues with shells not properly ejecting. Some said it was a brake-in issue.

    Economist: Housing shortage coming in 2011

    By the way...today, I helped my older sister move from a 1 bedroom/1 bath, 750 sq. ft apartment into a 3 bedroom/2 bath 1,150 sq. ft condo with a full basement (9' ceiling) and a 1 car garage. The condo was built in 1997 and last sold for $169,000 in 2003. It was foreclosed on and my sister...

    Economist: Housing shortage coming in 2011

    If I'm not mistaken, builders have been constructing multifamily units (condos, apartments, etc.) a lot more over the last few years. At the height of the building boom, they seemed to be building only large expensive homes.

    HOT: Hanns G 28" TN LCD 289 shipped w promo

    I'm pretty sure I got this same model monitor at Costco last X-mas for $264 with tax and shipped. It arrived in new condition but the panel was all jacked up with 1/2 black screen and vertical pink and green lines on the other half. I returned it and didn't get another.

    A sign of just how shakey this "recovery" is ...

    The "recovery" is nothing more than a shift of debt from the private sector to the public sector (the last ~15 months of securitorized loans were guananteed by the U.S. government) with "give aways" to promote "buying" of stuff/services (e.g., cash for clunkers, cash for caulkers, cash for...

    when is the US going to issue its own austerity plan?

    Has there ever been a successful libertarian country?

    when is the US going to issue its own austerity plan?

    Our "own austerity plan" will begin in Jan 2011. That's when the repubs will garner enough seats in both houses to block any plans the dems have of keeping the recession welfare system going (i.e., stimulus measures such as unemployment benefits, cash for clunkers, cash for caulkers, etc.)...

    OCZ LV 1066 $44 SHIPPED!

    I always forget how much faster a PC is when ~doubling the RAM. I went from 2GBs to 3.25GBs and my box seems a LOT faster in every respect. Can't wait to upgrade from WinXP 32bit to Win7 so all 8GBs will be utilized.

    Intel® Boxed Core? 2 Quad Processor Q9550

    I picked up the UD3P when NE had the extra $10 off so I could put a Pentium D925 to use and upgrade the proc at a later date. But with the price of the Q9550 dropping, I just know I'm going to have a VERY HARD time not picking 1 up. PCs...a love/hate relationship.

    Company of Heroes Gold Edition - 14.98

    The clearance price is $20.98 at the 1 store which had a copy while it was $14.98 at the other stores which were sold out. Not a horrible price, but not too hot either.
