Again, the Dude meister is doing more harm than good to his hero. At this rate, President Obama will be gone in 2012. I'm just curious if Dude will go at the same time. There's change we can believe in
jvaski: I'll ask this again......WHY do the Republicans still think they're running this country - after losing the last election ? And, if we go past the date and we're downgraded by default - it purely the Republican's fault for holding the debt ceiling hostage
REP run part of it, Juan. They control the House of REPresenatives. That is why the call REP John Boehner, House Majority Leader Boehner.
The Constitution gave the House certain duties and repsonibilities to carry to run a government. One of them being to enact budgetary legislation.
I cannot see how Harry Reid helped the situation yesterday by voting down the house bill. Me? I would taken the main aspects of the House Bill and incorporated them into the Senate Bill. Now you have a piece of budget legislation that has booth DEM and REP stamps of approval on it. That you send to the President.
Harry put them back to square one with only three days to go. What ever the Senate does, still has to go back to the House for reconfirmation vote. Then it still need the President signature. So I don't think that they have time to get it done.
They dropped the ball....and basically they don't want to admit it. But this is what this entire crisis government is about. They got financial markets around the world going thru hulla hoops and doing voodo magic session trying to figure it out.

Obama's plan still has spending increasing a annual deficit of a trillion per year. But it was all triggered off by Obamacare and the TARPs. That bumped us to the debt level. It was in 2008 and 2009 when the lines between REV and SPENDING went in opposite directions. But to be fair, they were running a deficit government in the final years of GWB administration. But the lines were parallel.
The GNP is under 1.5 for the quarter and employment did not improve.
Obama supporters will be hanging on for economic recovery till the last day of the 2012 campaign. This was to be another "recovery summer". We recovered alright ....right into a major default.
I see Tim Geither spending a lot more time in China in the near future. Tim a word of warning......several Executive officers and their management staff of Chinese National Bank.....have simply disappeared the last few years in China. They likely they only lost a billion or two. You are talking about losing 100s of billions on a default. Have someone taste test the Peking Duck before you eat it.

Maybe he will start blogging for the new Guy,like that Fellow Cain!
Do you think it is time for Cain to pick up the message on the 4.2t in FICA payments that made their way into the General Fund? I sure do.
Those are union moneys, and teacher moneys, and fire fighter moneys, and police officers moneys, and small business man money, self employeed money and day labor moneys. Everyone in the country has been effected by the Social Security dump into the General Fund.
What if Cain the middle of this fiscal crisis/debate says...he will run a government without using FICA money in the General Fund. That will restore the people confidence in Social Security, yes? Think about how much he has to cut the FED government to do that?

Dude supporting a REP....................now that is a stretch of the imigination!
I do like the bit.....were he says...he would would lead the assault himself on bin Laden compound. I love morning morning QBs. They are great in warm up, on the sidelines and in the game until the first hit comes, then they are limping to the side lines.

I like to follow what the bookmakers make of the odds of victory in the next US election. Obama is 1/2 to win in most bookies. This has changed from about a year ago when he was nearly 1/8 to win. So the republicans have definitely made inroads. The interesting thing to keep in mind is that the debt crisis has done little to change these prices. With the over-round taken into account, the democrats will win 5 out of 7 elections judged on todays information and the the republicans will,with the same information,win 2 out of 7.
The reason I like bookmakers odds is these are completely unbiased assumptions.

I just finished writing it up. Will get it in the mail today or tomorrow. It is a pretty simple statement and message that will resonate in the country. As the future President Cain will not use any funds from FICA revenues in his administration. That is $834b per year, scratched from the budget.
He leaves it to Congress hands to reinvest the FICA money into trust accounts and take it from the General Account. But he ain't spending it.Those not voting to legislate such trust account are very likely to see strong Tea Party opponents in the near future.
Dang sometime I amaze myself..................
DEMs have such a lock on Obama and what he can say......he cannot lead Cain on the issue. Same with Rhino REPs..............if Cain does this he has the issue to November of next year. It is a natural for him He cuts the budget and solves Social Security at the same time.
jvaski: I'll ask this again......WHY do the Republicans still think they're running this country - after losing the last election ? And, if we go past the date and we're downgraded by default - it purely the Republican's fault for holding the debt ceiling hostage
They're doing like the 2006 Dems did (Obama included). They're voting against the debt ceiling.
They're not running the country. Only the House of Representatives. It's called "governing". It's the process.
The House rejected Harry Reid Senate plan....246 to 173. We have have fumblist in the Washington. Only the courageous dive in for a loose ball like this one. This baby is bouncing all over the place.
First Boehner gets a hand on it. Then Nancy Pelosi has a stab....saying "we need to get back to reality"....duh like Nancy you were ever in reality?......and President Obama comes over the top for try. While Reid dives under neath to hit heads with McConnell.
This oblong ball is in mid field, so it is anyone ball. So some one will get it under control....the American people hope. Out of no where come Ron Paul and son, trying to pick a loose ball with a laterol. Only to the REP young guns tip it back to the ground. And it is booted once more.
Running into the scrum from distance sidelines is the REP Presidential hopefuls, lined up like Japanese Zeros on a final dive for a strafing run. Romney, Cain, Palin, Bachmann, Grinrich, Perry, Palenty, and Ruthford.....all have their eyes on the bouncing pig skin. Only Hillary Clinton is not get her uniform dirty on this one. Don't be afraid Hillary get into the game. In fact the Chinese are pushing you to.
With NFL season back on ...I thought you might like a football analogy to what is happening in Washington on the debt ceiling bills.

would be almost funny to watch them Idiots posture,if it weren't that serious!
ttom500: It is so easy Dude. They have tons and tons of precious metals. They sell some of it. Instead of raising the debt level and making all Americans pay for a failing government.
Yeah TT... THAT Geroge W Bush of urs and his fellows made THe most horrible shi* ever done to America and we are all still suffering economically and will suffer for some more years at least! Next time please... do not send a dang GOP on charge because your guys can not find out of any thing what so ever and are not able to handle complicated issues regarding running a huge supper power as America. Failing government? Yeah TT Right!
ttom500: I am so right here, Dude. Obama has used his position to make crisis after crisis. Each one driving up the gold and silver prices. They realized early in his administraion how shakey the world was.....the Woodward quote.
So they came up with a hedge plan increase the value of the US gold and silver bullion, Actually it is pretty smart. But they don't know when to stop.
So they are going to crisis the debt ceiling legislation....Obama is going to veto it. It will throw the world in major depression....killing every thing that they have been trying to do.
LOL.....that is happens when you fib the big one. You don't know when to stop. Obama fibbed on the country being broke.....big time. They had loaded vault with bullion.
They just need to what is right for Americans on this. Which is sell some bullion, modify a raise dept ceiling level and don't increase the tax. Get our interest rates in line. But they ain't going to do it.
Who cares if China buys some bullion? Better bullion than bonds and long term debt. But Obama wants that long term debt going to China. So he will veto anything that does not raise the debt ceiling.
By the way...Alan Greenspan....says this about gold and silver bullion.....when gold had hit $1000 per ou earlier....... "the gain are strictly monetary gains an early indication to move away from the paper currencies".
Unless they put gold and silver back into the M1 and M2 of the country. Obama and company broke the piggie bank.
People are moving away from the paper Dollar. Into hard securities. That does not included paper bonds and T-Bills. Obama just wants the T-Bills and bonds because they are easy and quick trade with China. Prescious metals takes selling normally. But not in this market.
Why can I say that? FOX is no longer running those gold and silver ads. The gold and silver dealers have all the buyer that they can handle. Which is another reason they close the Gold and Silver OTC board. They were getting to many faulty trades.
Maybe FOX is finally on terror list then and not allowed to even mention important and important for security stuff as precious metals no more then?
Murdoch on Gitmo or some thing? Will they send red top there with him too?
