    skipthesong,

    You say that many are kissing the truth-teller. Who is doing so and how are they doing it?

  • SezWho2 at 10:21 PM JST - 25th September

    SuperLib,

    Not only will I excuse you for not going to the KKK's website to get your statistics, I'll applaud you for recognizing the truth of the statistics even though they appear on the KKK's website.

    I don't think I have any particular problem with people just because their ideas are different from mine. Perhaps one day you can get around to excusing me for seeing things differently than you do.

    I don't recall giving Ahmadinejad a new suit. When did I do that? Was it expensive? Are you sure that was me or are you just seeing what you want to see?

    American empire in the world is reaching the end of its road

    And don't forget that also means the end of financial aid we give to keep so many foreign economies afloat.

    And don't forget that also means the end of financial aid we give to keep so many foreign economies afloat.

    Makes sense, as it seems America is on the receiving end of financial aid from around the world.

    While he may be insane, fewer lies come out of Ahmadinejad's mouth than Dubya's. It's unfortunate that the few leaders who do stand up to US bullying also happen to be crazy, hmmm, does that make me crazy too? Probably, find out: www.theendisalwaysnear.blogspot.com

    The financial empire of the US is collaping right in front of our eyes. With the greed of dirty realtors, banks that made loans to people that couldn't afford them, speculators selling these packages of failed mortgages.

    And how could anybody ever re-negotiate a loan that had been bought and sold so many times that ownership of a particular mortgage is impossible to track.

    So agree or not, our empire is crashing.

    And I shouldn't have to pay for it. < :-)

    The imposition on the U.S. economy of the years of heavy military engagement and involvement around the world ... the war in Iraq, for example. These are heavy costs imposed on the U.S. economy.

    Didnt this is a good news indeed?

    These are heavy costs imposed on the U.S. economy.

    Nothing compared to the cost of entitlement programs.

    Ah, could this be the limits of anti-Americanism? Rejoice that the "empire is crashing" as long as it doesn't affect your pocketbook? ;)

    So SuperLib, you want to give Wall Street as little as $350,000,000,000.00 up to $1,000,000,000,000.00.

    I don't think I should have to prop up Millionaires or Billionaires.

    You want to give Wall Street all this money for gambling with our money and we have to cough it up again.

    I've invested in my 401, IRAs and now I have to be glad that my tax dollars are being loaned, given, granted or debts forgiven to Wall Street moguls so they can continue to go home making giant parachute bonuses, paychecks no individual should receive and I should be happy to give mt tax dollars.

    Like I said, I shouldn't have to pay it. And you're for more tax breaks, also? < :-)

    daydream:

    " So SuperLib, you want to give Wall Street as little as $350,000,000,000.00 up to $1,000,000,000,000.00. I don't think I should have to prop up Millionaires or Billionaires. "

    That is not a fair representation. They want to buy the junk securities to take them out of the market. In the end, the deal might actually be profitable. Warren Buffet thinks so, and I trust his judgement more than that of poster "adaydream" on JT.

    Be that as it may, Ahmedinejad may still be right. The way Western governments are refusing to deal with the islamist threat, it is correc that the West is digging its own grave.

    The fact remains. These markets have gone bankrupt. No matter how they did it, they have gone bankrupt.

    Now the people of the United States have to prop up these markets. If I went bankrupt, the country wouldn't prop up my personal portfolio and give me millions.

    Then these same people that bankrupt the markets will go home at the end of the day with my money.

    Warren Buffet has the money to throw around, whether it actually helps or gets him a cent of profit.

    We've been screwed and even if profits were made from this bailout, the country is so far in debt, we'll never see them. < :-)

    Who to turn to for financial commentary: a) Warren Buffet b) "adaydream"

    Really hard to decide... hahaha

    Mareo, you do realize that the majority of funding to pay for establishing overseas bases is paid by the host country, right?

    Well, Im just wondering how many americans jobs costed these bases abroad and can be uninformed to think that arming yourself for self-defense and arming yourself for keep world peace have the same price tag. Even if the host taxpayers pay part of the bases and their maintenance, is american taxpayers who pay for the extra aircrafts and tanks. If the host start to pay for the weapons and salaries of the extra soldiers to, then the US armed forces start to look just like an american private military contractor, in place of an military ally committed to defend the host country in exchange to serve as a base for military operations against other countries and some economic incentives. Again, my points is that these have a cost in tax and jobs for the american citizens. The point of expend billions in military operations abroad and lacking a national medicare that can cover every american. Is just talk about priorities.
