--- I do hope the facts that are being published are wrong, but the trend seems clear -- a heavy downturn in our economy. Brute, you seem like a good dude. But if the 'facts' referenced in your sentence above is still focused on the non-borrowed reserves bullshit I can't help you. It is a total non...

The recession is here. Our economy is in the shitter and will stay there for quite sometime. The government figures get a bit of the curve if you ask me. All I know is that everything is more expensive and people can't afford to buy it. The avg family requires both spouses to work just to stay abov...

WASHINGTON - It's no longer a question of recession or not. Now it's how deep and how long. Workers' pink slips stacked ever higher in March as jittery employers slashed 80,000 jobs, the most in five years, and the national unemployment rate climbed to 5.1 percent. Job losses are nearing the stagge...

While I don't believe the sky is falling, the significant spikes that are being shown (largest in over 40+ years of reporting) seem fairly significant in terms of total debt (etc.) As far as "whom" is selling me shit, the facts come directly from the Federal Reserve, not some mutt off the...

In fact, it's the most profitable company in the history of capitalism, earning a record $40.6 billion last year on sales of $404 billion. Was listening to a talk show where it was said that the oil companies paid out more dollars in taxes and fees than they brought home................... I think ...

Down almost 200 refineries? I guess my question then would be, why can't they build new ones? They can't..... or don't want to? Thank the environmentalists and lawyers. They have made it flat out impossible to build a new refinery. And now its becoming flat out impossible to build new coal fired po...

If another theory or opinion can be offered, please share it. Here's my opinion. You are being sold a bill of goods by someone that either has bad intentions or is a fucking idiot. The charts you posted do NOT show what you think they do. We are NOT on the edge of financial collapse (at least not f...

According to statistics published by the St. Louis Federal Reserve, we're in for a serious economic collapse (IMHO) Check out these scary stats: St. Louis Federal Reserve In contrast, look at the huge spike of borrowed funds: Borrowings of Depository Institutions from the Federal Reserve The number...

Alternative fuels seem to be our only solution. I think we better lift these stupid corn ethanol subsidies to allow for So Am sugarcane-type ethanol in a hurry. Inflation is coming (its here!), and food is going to get a lot more expensive I think. Next, we better worry less about CO2 and more abou...

...but I'm genuinely hoping someone can offer me good advice. Julius Caeser, before crossing the Rubicon (a deliberate act of war), said to his men 'Even yet we may draw back; but once we cross yon little bridge, and the whole issue is with the sword.' By signing the contract you crossed a bridge, ...

What a great observation! No doubt everyone reading that knows just what you mean.

Do you even know how this thing works?

Concur...you have great scores, they want you. Don't settle (or sign!) for anything less than what you want. I had a similar situation when I went in (mid-80's). I had scores similar to yours and was pressured hard to go MI. I was unequivocal, it was 'Unassigned Ranger' or nothing. When I got to mep...

49 + 1, with 50 being Rio Hato. I had 4 months left when we got back, and I worked hard to have Panama be my last. :lol: Luckily for me I am a proud bearer of the torch, so I volunteered for any and every DZSNCO mission I could find, probably did 3 or 4 before I got out. That was actually a good time.

Did it around March '87, then again in either late '88 or early '89, I'm hazy on the dates there. That was when all three battalions rotated through sequentially, sending a message that clearly wasn't received. On that second trip I remember being in the hardest rainstorm of my life. It was raining ...

Potentially 65 years and $250,000 in fines. Hope they through the book at him. Also hope that he meets some of his victims in prison. Especially ones that have added inches to their penises, have purchases cheap viagra and are looking for a new relationship. Motherfucker's going to get his mortgage...
