Your Oil Stocks Aren't Coming Back

Does this guy know anything... comparing two different sectors/industries when one has been showing profits while the other was scratchy at best is absurd. And to compare a sector based off a commodity to a sector compared to hype (back in the 90s-2000s) is ignorant.

U.S. Economy: Spending and Phantom Financing Will Only Lead to Ruin

To say that I am 100% wrong is just being ignorant. Obviously you are stuck in the mind-set that we will get out of this one like every other time. This time we owe back a lot more money to other countries, and and our debt has grown and will grow further in the future. Inflation is imminent. At least I am not being closed-minded like much of you are. I am seeing all the different possibilities that can come of this. No one ever thought the housing-market would break down, but the people that were saying it was going too were laughed at on national TV. Let's see whose laughing now... A lot of people were saying we had the best political and economic policies back in 2006 (Art Laffer) and other people were saying things were looking bad and a bad recession is looming in 07-08 (Peter Schiff). Everyone laughed at what the nay-sayers had to say, but look who had the correct philosophy. My proposed solutions were just something as an idea, not a lead. If I wanted to say how we would get out of this, I would have to write a whole new article. If your generation's students had as much wit as I have, maybe we wouldn't be in this mess right now.

The U.S. Debt Quandary

You resent taxing the super rich? I'm talking about taxing the top .5-1% on wealth, like Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and people who won't feel it. Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO (great CEO and company) has a salary of 1 dollar. The US is losing out on a lot of money with CEOs doing this. I'm not saying taxing 35% of ones wealth but maybe like 1% every year, because 1% of 1 billion dollars is 10 million, It won't hurt that person's wealth, but it will help the US finance projects.

And Warren Buffett donated all that money to get a TAX WRITE-OFF, not because he cares about the B&M Gates Foundation. He saw it was going to be taxed by the government anyways so he donated it so he wouldn't lose as much.
