Yeah, but first you have to be rich and kiss the ass of the DNC or the RNC, be able to get excited about non-events, make promises after you put your finger to the wind, tell lies in an earnest voice and never admit you made a mistake. Oh yeah, you can write, phone or email your elected Representative-( thats a joke son!)

Obama Is Bad for the Economy - Barron's

Conservatives whine, whine, whine about entitlements. Social Security is probably one of the most successful programs ever put in place-or would have been had Congress kept their hands out of the cookie jar. Medicare could have probably been fixed except Bush put in the Trojan horse of prescription drug benefits, and to smear it in our face, disallowed Medicare to bargain with the drug companies. I always hear the Conservatives rant about destroying FDRs legacy of entitlement programs and they almost have gutted them all-now what?

The Great Consumer Crash of 2009

I think Jim Quinn has all his fact correct but still the market is fickeled so who know what will happen to the market.
I take issue with some of the comment thought "But only in America you can make it from nowhere to multimillionaire"
The richest man in the world is a Mexican who was not born rich. I have relatives who live in England who have a life-style as good or better than any Americans I know. This arrogance of Americans in thinking that they are the only ones in the world who can get rich or have a superior life-style is a bit nauseating.
The "American Era" is over, this is the dawn of the "Asian Era" and those who think not will die with the old Era. Unfettered Capitalism has run it's course and the golden goose was slaughtered.

The Dead Cat Returns to Earth

lex, why is it that Americans like you always use the word "socialist or socialism" as a derogatory term. England is socialist and they are doing as well economically as the U.S. or better. Denmark, Sweden and Norway are esentially socialist democracies with meaningful social safety nets and they are doing fine. Yes they pay higher taxes but they don't have a significant portion of their population with no access to health care of any kind. I think you would have been more correct stating that "..can i say the fascist of the United States". A government by the Corporations for the Corporations!
