If the world falls apart ... you WILL be rich. Toilet paper will be more precious than gold.

Most likely, as long as all the world nukes don't get launched. The days of M.A.D. seem so long ago... *NO* I am not predicting this, but it better stay on people's minds.

Old White House spin: Porkulus stimulated the economy and “saved or created” 150,000 jobs. New White House spin: Stimulus? What stimulus?

Obama January 2009:
That is why I have moved quickly to work with my economic team and leaders of both parties on an American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan that will immediately jumpstart job creation and long-term growth. …

There is no doubt that the cost of this plan will be considerable. It will certainly add to the budget deficit in the short-term. But equally certain are the consequences of doing too little or nothing at all, for that will lead to an even greater deficit of jobs, incomes, and confidence in our economy. It is true that we cannot depend on government alone to create jobs or long-term growth, but at this particular moment, only government can provide the short-term boost necessary to lift us from a recession this deep and severe.

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for!
Spending is saving!
Ignorance is strength!
Paper is Gold!
Stimulus is Recovery!
Recovery is Stability!
Down is Up!

you left out "War is Peace" and "Slavery is Freedom".

Meanwhile look at how the privately enterprising geniuses at Goldman have been turning the economy around.

So are the guys at Goldman Republican or Democrat? It doesn't matter - it's not even relevant - yet Goldman Sachs runs the country and you didn't vote for them, and you can't vote them out either.

Goldman is one of the largest single donors of the Democratic party. Their donations are almost exclusively to Democratic candidates.

Barack Obama's TOP two Donors:
1. Goldman Sachs ($369,078)
2. Lehman Brothers ($229,090)

Hillary Clinton's TOP two Donors:
1. DLA Piper ($356,000)
2. Goldman Sachs ($350,050)

John Edward's TOP Donors:
1. ActBlue ($1,965,274)
2. Fortress Investment Group LLC (Edward's employer in 2006) ($187,850)
5. Goldman Sachs ($77,100)

I assume you mean here the last election was almost exclusively? 2008 their ratio was 1 Republican dollar for every 3 Dem dollars. The worst pro-Dem ratio. That ratio seems like a hedged bet rather than a selected victor. (Put all your money on the horse that's a sure bet but give some to the other horse to be minimize your losses.) In the Clinton era it's close to 1:1..History of GS donations

The Obama Porkulas Stimulus buys "Sliced Ham" for $595,600 per pound.

They were spiral cut hams, left-handed cut on the spiral, special order. 2 months to deliver. : p

Yeah government!
Can’t wait until they bring those cost savings to health care!

I don't see this ration as 'exclusively' ... mainly or most frequently perhaps.

Yes, yes - it's true, I know - but did they spend so much on Democrats because Goldman Sachs holds "Democratic" beliefs, or just to buy the government?

G$ is worried about G$, they will buy anyone who will allow themselves to be bought. That money will not get pumped into campaigns unless they fully expect favors after the election.

No idiot, you morons are helping seal the fate for the economy absolutely tanking. You didn't get it right in the first place, per your own words, and you are not getting it right now.

So let me figure this out. A Florida hating South Floridian and an America hating, tinfoil hat wearing Canadian (and a couple others) on some off the beaten track discussion forum had the economic woes pegged but the super duper smart Obama administration had no clue? :roll:

Whyzzat early 2006 - "Downfall of Rome"
Super duper smart Obama administration mid 2009 - "Economy absolutely tanking"

..and things just keep getting worse. Buzz is there will be IRS furloughs starting in October. Don't ask me how I heard about this

When the IRS starts furloughing people, you have a problem.
