We need to go over the cliff. Boner was set up by that guy that wants his speaker job. He convinced Boner this was a good idea knowing it wouldn't pass so he will look like a fool. He succeeded.

Republicans will never get it. There is more than one way to skin a cat. The country chose Obama to skin it - not them. We don't care what ideas they have to fix things. If we had wanted their fix we would have elected them. Whether they think the democrats' ideas are good or not is irrelevant. All of the ideas from bo...more

Pity crazy republicans weren't so worried about the national debt before 2008- especially during the time they were busy just adding to it. Where was the panic and hand wringing from the wealthy about the collapse of the world economy leading up to 2008. Pity all the wealthy are going to go broke if they have to pay 3-...more

I agree with the judge. The woman is a liar and a fraud. People feel sympathetic towards her because they too lie a lot about who they are. Every culture does not accept fake plastic people like the US does.The fact that she did plastic surgery to change her appearance showed that she herself was offended by her own ap...more

The reason people think things will change is because they can't get it through their thick skulls that the fed is independent.

President Obama can't control quantitative easing ...more

Credit scores should only be used to issue loans and credit and maybe rentals but...more

The jobs are never coming back. If we took the jobs back from china, India and all the emerging markets like Brazil the stock market would collapse because it is heavily invested in the success of these countries. Every time growth in China slows the stock market craps itself. Americans are tapped out. We have been ...more

I would like to honestly say I feel sympathy for them but I don't. They still don't work as hard as the people who actually have to build the houses- working in the 90 degree heat for peanuts. This is the system that resulted in the collapse because everyone in the real estate industry needed those sales to close even ...more

Bernanke just guaranteed that unemployment will stay high. He just told the wealthy, or so called job creators that he will keep giving them cheap money and increasing their stock wealth if people don't get hired. Now the job creators have an even bigger incentive not to hire. Way to go Bernanke.
