The Biden-Palin Panderfest

Palin reiterated the facts; greed, corruption, predatory lending, and irresponsibility on the consumer side (spending more than you earn) are exactly what created the current lending crisis. That is a proactive thinkers perspective. I do not believe the traditional Washington politician (i.e. Biden/Obama) is going to do anything differently in the future. They will continue to dip back into the taxpayer's well to clean up their messes, and add pork to the bills to justify their votes. That's why we need a ticket like McCain / Palin in the Whitehouse, they have an established record of being proactive and shutting down corruption when they have the opportunity to do so.

Obama Is Bad for the Economy - Barron's

sorry, my bad, I was thinking 2.73T(including uncollected taxes). Here are better numbers:

Obama Is Bad for the Economy - Barron's

Wake up people, the blame for anyone's current situation lies in ourselves(universal principle of life) In this case we voted all the existing politicians into power. Individuals like McCain or Obama cannot change the corruption on their own. You need to look at the actual spenders, appropriation's committees, pork barrel project senators from all states. And the blatant fraud on all fronts. Everyone has a ladle out and they're dipping the future of America away one scoop at a time. The US Federal Tax roll is about 793 trillion annually, and 54% of the take is spent on social spending programs, yet the results are not even close to expectations. HOW then can we spend more anywhere and get better results? The government collectively cannot do "more with more", they need to do "more with less", like every business in the world during bad times. We need to eliminate the waste on all fronts, and if you think a billion dollar war is much more than a drop in the spending ocean then you're living in denial. (take the war total you prefer and divide by 793 trillion, then convert to percent) McCain has the one of the few records in politics in support of moving the government out of the "spending is the solution", and quite frankly he's the only candidate in years that has actual honor and integrity.

Why Auto Stocks Are an Easy Short

This author needs to go to fact checking school. The problem with re-writing about other people's opinions is they're already old news. Ford Focus is one of the best selling cars internationally, Ford recently overtook Toyota in least number complaints per 1000 cars sold. (JD Powers). Look at the recent news that Russia car sales were up 59% last year. Who was # 1 car? Ford. In about 2 yrs time the Ford 150 will have a pair of diesel engine choices from their Land Rover grp, one choice is capable of 49MPG. Lets see, most popular truck ever, and 30-40mpg, nah that would never sell...

Was That a Short-Covering Rally?

Dollar and strength are still not used in the same sentence anywhere on the globe. Where I live Diesel is $4/gallon and that impacts trucking costs,etc, which impacts cost of goods. Those with "zero equity" mortgages are putting "For Sale" signs up in every new Burb I drive past on the way to work. If this isn't a "sucker's rally" then I guess BSC will get back up to $100 / share...right !
