I'm really glad that someone out there can see this. He's even worse, bigger spending bills, bigger deficits, more troops, talk of war with Iran and Yemen.
If America had any brains, she would have elected Ron Paul.
One of the annoying sites they mentioned was having to create an account to do something once, then they linked to a stress relief spiel that made you do just that!
I don't think he was an average college student. I'm sure he was a privileged college student.
You'd think people would learn from the dot bomb that the technology for this company can be recreated relatively easily and also see that myspace was the place to be just a year or two ago and like a flip of a switch it evaporated.
I get insulted, cursed at, and I'm the fucking troll. There was one intelligent response supporting my claim that government creates more problems than it solves...thank you 'riverat1'.
My argument is against the illogical rational that some scientist supported by government funding says the world will end, therefore we should tax everybody. It's amazing to me that not one person can comment on the fact that we could have virtually free energy with no emissions, but go nuts over me giving Bill Gates some credit. We could go to alternative energy with no taxes.
The US government created the Department of Energy in the early 1970's to regulate the price of a barrel of oil. It went from $3 to a high around $150 to about $70 today. They clearly have failed. Given that solar power is free(once you buy the solar panels), if the consumer had the choice to pick don't you think the consumer would opt for FREE rather than $70/barrel.
Meanwhile, there are little to no regulations on computers and Bill Gates gets the cost of them down to the point where just about everyone on the planet can afford one. Of course pollution is blamed on the free market while neo-libs continue to destroy our country.
Clearly they did exactly what Twitter did (who just stripped down myspace), now if they can only keep message like "Do you love me? Vote at www.ImAVagina.com" off of it.
Once lenders realize they're not going to get their money back, they will stop lending to the US. You can't borrow from Peter to pay Paul forever.
This Keynesian system will fall apart. It's just a matter of when. The AAA rating is purely political.
The federal government is bankrupt. That's why it has to borrow money. The currency collapse will happen very quickly. Look at how quickly tech and housing fell apart, as well as Greece. The only thing saving us is that the dollar is the reserve currency, but that won't last forever.
Yes, but most of that talk was not in the mainstream media. Even if it was, who cares...Greenspan did not act appropriately. He should have been raising interest rates rather than lowering them.
Even right now, Bernanke is going back to these same economists. There's a minority talking about a currency crisis, but no one is doing anything about it. Interest rates need to be a lot higher, but they can't be because then the government wouldn't be able to pay the interest on the debt.
If you're good enough to predict the waves with a week of resolution, you should be a billionaire. We have markets with stocks that are +/- 10% a day.
That's not true. China and India should have higher rated debt than we do. They have a chance to pay it back. We have zero chance of repaying our debts.
Although I agree with you that all debtors will default, but I believe it will be through inflation.
Are these the same economists that didn't see the tech or housing bubble? The same ones who thought sub-primes were contained and wouldn't spread to the rest of the economy. Perhaps they are the ones that have America's debt rated AAA.
What happened to the new deal from shit for brains?
It used to be true that everyone used Myspace, now no one uses it. A good way to take over Facebook would be to integrate with it just like Google integrates with Microsoft products.
I don't think I'll be putting all of my computing needs into the hands of Google anytime soon. No matter who the dominant player is, you always need a rival to keep them honest. I trust Microsoft more than Google with my computing behavior given their track record of telling the government to piss off and some of the comments of Eric Schmidt. Although if I had it my way, the source of this message would be encrypted and visible to no one. Unfortunately my ISP probably doesn't respect my privacy.
Yeah, but there's talk of the dollar not being the reserve currency anymore. Gold is up 20% just in the last year. The Keynesian global economy is unsustainable. Do you really think that we are so mean that we'll say lend us money or we'll bomb you? Maybe we are, but I don't think so.
Every empire on the planet has collapsed because they did the things we're doing now. You're right, Britain was probably smart to pass the buck over to us and maintain our good relationship.
I'm sure this is all political and we'll continue to police the world. They're not coming home until the dollar outright collapses, which is probably not far off. While we're at it, how about cutting a couple TRILLION off the $4 Trillion budget!?!?!?

That's what OPT IN is for.
Wouldn't it take a bully to kill a bully?
No shit it's going to happen. Networks are already preparing to air their content on the web with annoying 30 second ads periodically.
Indra Petersens Baby!!!
The thing is they don't keep quality content up.

The more pointless it is means the more successful it will be in our society of idiocracy.

You contradicted yourself in the title.
How about decade long fluctuations to the downside? The whole country would have to take your advice.
