Your nuts...  Most American's would waste every penny of the loan on things they don't need and then get upset the next year when they didn't get another $50,000 (Where's my money?????).  Our country would be another $15Trillion in debt and then the economy would crash because we wouldn't have all the stimulus anymore....more

He's been predicting doom and gloom in the stock market for many months however and he's been striking out.  I could make a bunch of predictions as well and I'm sure at least one of them would be right.

6 Billion?  That doesn't pass the giggle test...  6 Billion won't even fund the government for a day.  Anyway it's 2 to 3 Trillion that was borrowed/spent.  They will need to raise taxes in order to repay it.

The study is clearly trying to mislead people.  While it's true that there was a net decrease in public sector jobs since Obama came into office, ALL of those jobs were at the state and local level.  The number of workers at the Federal level (that Obama controls) has increased since he took office.  And as the study c...more

Starting the beginning of this year "the rich" now pay a higher effective tax rate then they did under Clinton.  This was because of the recent income tax rate increases and also due to new taxes under Obamacare both of which target the rich only.   The rest of americans are either paying a much lower tax rate then t...more

Mirhaydari has been talking about the stock market going down for months and possibly years.  One of these days he's going to be right!  A lot of money is being made in the market.  Sure the reason for that is bogus (Fed QE) but regardless it's money in peoples pockets.  That money in turn is used to create new buisnes...more

"The Social Security trust fund is expected to be exhausted in 2033."  That's a bad way to start out an article.  There is no real money in the trust fund and there are no real treasuries in the trust fund.  Instead there are a bunch of IOUs.  Forget about the trust fund.  It's a meaningless concept that is only exists...more
