Why can you only get one free credit report online?  Why can't you look at it everyday if you wi**** an electronic process done through the internet.  The numbers matter to me a lot.  So the very companies that lock up this information charge me almost $200 a year so I can know when they get something that changes the ...more

Was that "A National Health System for America" 2700 pages long?  Was it actually enacted or a tool for thought?  Did somebody think it entirely through and decide that imposing a $2000 penalty on a company not willing to pay $4000+ didn't make sense?  How exactly does this law which Nancy Pelosi admittedly said nobody...more

This is not big oil.  This really isn't even fundamentals.  This is Wall Street trading of futures contracts and derivatives.  When oil became an investment vehicle that banks could trade on their own account (1999 repeal of the Glass-Steagall act) oil prices started to climb as contracts started to trade repeatedly.  ...more

I know the red light cameras that were installed in Houston were from a company out of Australia.  We couldn't even keep all of the money in the US.  They were eventually voted down by the citizens but weren't actually taken down until 3 months later after it was determined whether or not the citizens had the right to ...more

Anyone can file a 1099 saying that you received money from them and according to the tax law y...more

$500k if you earn 6%/yr and get $1800/mo in social security will last over 25 years at a withdrawal rate of $5k/mo.  These idiots think you are going to take the money out of an earning account and put it under your mattress or something.  $60k/year withdrawal is pretty steep for a 90 year old person without a mortgage...more

So do you think anybody is trying to buy any votes? What's really scary is that the GDP of the US isn't really as high as the economist want you to believe. Bankers selling bankers contracts if something outside of reality happens and making a trading commission on it isn't generating any "P"roduct.  The investment ...more

I have an idea I sent to Obama and never received a reply.  There are tons of empty factories all across the rust belt with lots of former employees sitting in homes losing value rapidly because nobody has a job to pay for them.  The government has extended unemployment benefits to these folks for a total of 99 weeks. ...more
