  1. RT @maxandersen: Fearing what amount of white powder he will have to shove aside in the morning...
  2. Me: "... CDMA" G: "You mean 'seed-mah'?" Me: "No, actually, that's not what I mean." G: "I've always called it 'seed-mah'" Me: (Blank Stare)
  3. @accessd That's only 194% of World GDP, after all. A return to US fiscal health seems very... likely</sarcasm>
  4. @accessd You got to love the fact the US has $118 trillion in unfunded obligations now. Double what it did in 2006. No big deal.
  5. @accessd but how long can China maintain a vendor-financing relationship with the US? It's unsustainable.
  6. With Russia announcing diversification of it's foreign currency reserves, has the first shoe dropped?
  7. With the US dollar's value teetering, how long with Asian governments sit on those trillions in rapidly devaluing treasury bills?
  8. The Dems were right about the fact the GOP was sinking the US economy. Only problem is the Dems "solutions" are accelerating the sinking.
  9. @kshaidle America is an un-rightable ship right now. It passed the point of return sometime in 2005-06. Turmoil is coming.
  10. @RightGirl Time flies!
  11. @RightGirl These temperatures are a dream compared to the early deep-freeze we had last year :)
  12. @RightGirl Cold? Last year it was freezing this time of year. I remember, because our baby was born on the 21st and there was ice.
  13. @heiko_braun Ok. Updating. I am afraid.
  14. Some of my friends honestly see nothing to worry about with America's mounting gov't and consumer debt burden.
  15. Consumer confidence is a bad thing, if it means consumers are confident to run up their credit cards even more.
  16. Fun Fact: US increases in debt levels more than make up for increases in economic activity. This is a debt-funded recovery.
  17. Fun Fact: The DOW Jones Industrial Average only broke even from it's 1966 high, in inflation-adjusted dollars in 1995.
  18. One of the lessons of the Great Depression was that price controls are bad. Yet, monetary policy is a round-about price control.
  19. Repeal all foreign ownership laws! RT @globalive: Here's what Canadians have to say about wireless http://bit.ly/65Lt5m
  20. @sophistifunk That's a good way of putting it.
