Charlie Gasparino: Another Crash 'Has to Happen Again'

The national government and the financial system are profoundly corrupt and beyond redemption. The bankster-gangsters have infiltrated both political parties. Behold the last five secretaries of the Treasury. There is a website: pinkslip.com. Go there and pay $29.95 and they will send a pink slip to all 535 members of Congress on your behalf. We must sweep out the entire Congress and begin again. Re-instate Glass-Steagall, Limit Congressional terms to a total of twelve years, forbid former members of Congress to lobby, and abolish the FED. This would be a start.

Silver Prices Are About to Fall

As a holder of physical silver and an investor in a broad collection of miners, You arguments sound plausible to me. I plan to sit tight since I believe the destruction of the U.S. currency lies ahead.

The Trouble with Clean Coal

Mr. Lounsbury: Your last comment is most pertinent. The "science" of climatology seems to me to be quite speculative. I can't help but be suspicious of the motives of many of Al Gore's friends and admirers. In 1977, a gentleman published a book entitled: "The Coming Ice Age". But the ice age never came. It is my understanding that this author is now an advisor to President Obama. I have always been a "conservationist" and have advocated soil and water conservation and intensive reforestation. Man has historically caused regional environmental disasters in the Middle East, China, the United States and Central America. But I see the Climate Change folks as using this supposed issue to seize control of society to promote yet another Utopian Paradise. The Utopians have caused more death, agony, and suffering than any other movement in human history. In conclusion, the climate guys cannot accurately predict the weather next year, let alone in the next decades.

Money Multiplier Still Sending Deflation Signal

Taxes and "fees" levied by local and state governments are increasing. Most food items I buy are going up. Our electric utilities are going up big time. The lower and middle classes are in a terrible squeeze just as Congress is poised to raise costs associated with "health care" but the actual "health care" will not become effective until money is collected by the federales for several years and the current President is presumably safely re-elected. Sure looks like stagflation to me. Jimmy Carter gets his revenge for us not re-electing him.

Recycling U.S. Coins into Silver

The only conclusion I can deduce from the current administration is that they expect an oil crisis that will cause a magical solution involving alternative fuels and alternative energy. The technical and logistical issues in this are incredible in scope.

California: Entering Inflationary Depression

Anarchist : I held my nose and voted for McCain because I feared "The One" would be worse. The problem is bigger than the President. The entire Congress should be taken out. Both parties have sold out to Wall Street and "Government Sachs".If you are interested in possibly raising the anxiety of members of Congress, go to: pink slips. com. For $29.95 they will send a pink slip to every member of congress instructing them they are fired.

Anecdotal Evidence of Renewed Economic Activity

In Florida I have observed many trucks that appear to be parked for some time. I hope the I-75 observations are correct.

Roubini Hates Gold: Is He Wrong Again?

I have to agree with Original Sc. The price of things seldom purchased may be trending down but the price of other things, or services, are trending up in a period of high unemployment and underemployment. One result is a decline of living standards. What is laughingly called:"Discretionary Income" is squeezed to pay increased taxes,fees, and electricity(wait til we get Cap and Trade),gasoline, food and other utilities. The consumer driven economy is now in survival mode.

Nouriel Roubini, One on One: More Doom and Gloom

YES, YES, YES!! User 33396040 is right on time. We need a combination of conservation, fuel substitution, and domestic energy development. But how do we convince those idiots in D.C.?

Harvest Energy: East vs. West in Terms of Oil

I was an investor in Viking, a fine company, HTE flew all of us into the ground. Lost a chunk of money on those clowns.

America: Declining Empire, Banana Republic, Or Failed State?

I pray that 353732 is correct.

Investors Jostle over the Oil Sands Prize

I subscribed to National Geographic for more than 50 years. In the recent past, a new editorial staff has converted the magazine to a polemical publication. There are several sides to that Tar Sands issue that the Geographic is not presenting. I have not renewed my subscription.

Where Is the Inflation?

As a mere consumer and retail investor, I am untrusting of official data. My electric utility just got a second rate increase approval. It seems to me that every item I buy in the grocery has gone up. True , gasoline has been down but in the last week it has gone up more than 20 cents a gallon. In the meantime local food banks are being deluged by families whose bread winners can't find jobs. Not a pretty picture.

How the Copenhagen Climate Treaty Will Affect Equity Markets

Bartpr: your comment suggests natural gas as a good investment. Go back and listen to the Messiah Obama"s video. He lists natural gas as one of the bad guys. This may explain Secretary Chu's comment that he is "agnostic" about natural gas. SCLawyer: Your proposed "experiment" with CO2 is incredibly inappropriate as a model for the atmosphere. Sure hope your legal briefs are better than your "science".

The Secret Paulson-Goldman Meeting

In November, 2010 there will be another election.( At least I HOPE there will be another election). Let us turn out 100% of all incumbents and start anew. Let us insist that Congress, or the State Legislatures, initiate a constitutional amendment to limit terms of Congress (12 years max in either house) and make it a felony for any former member of Congress to lobby. A law making non-payment of taxes grounds for dismissal from Congress and any Federal office would not be a bad idea either. The system is incredibly corrupt and it starts with Congress.
