Isn't that the same Clinton that burned those US citizens in Waco? That unleashed depleted uranium across the Balkans on innocent women and children? We've got a strong dollar right now so I'd leave that one out. -g- I don't recall much peace for those dead Iraqis under BC's reign of terror. We'll have plenty of time to rehash BC's nefarious deeds now that he's back for a 3rd term. BC,Obama, Bush are all the same. What's good for America may be hazordous to your health if you live in the 3rd world. Dead Bodies 'R Us should be on every coin we print.

>>On the Obama cabinet. When is the last time we've had a budget in surplus, a strong dollar, cheap oil, peace and added 25 million new jobs to the economy?<< at the start of the credit bubble that is now threatens to implode our nation, maybe? you remember the "new economy" and "productivity miracle" lies, don't you? also, it is not up for debate - there was no clinton surplus. he got close, but the debt grew every single year he was president and here are the facts to back up this claim: cedarcomm.com lafn.org this chart does show that dems are much more debt responsible that republicans, though. it still shows clinton adding to the debt every single year he was president. he was close, but not even the credit and stock market bubbles could balance his budget or create a surplus.

Knighty, what do you think about this scenario... 1. initial deflation as the bubble economy clears inventory at much lower demand. 2. once the excess inventory in 1 has worked its way through the system, raging inflation and a collapse of the bond market as the fed has been printing money at the rate of well over a trillion per year. no matter how i look at this, i think this ends in war. either we attack folks we owe so we can wipe out the debt, or we turn into a weak sister and get attacked. i don't know who, how or when, but i think war is the end game here.

Ah America! ufb! Raising cash in a hurry #1: Head to the casino Tom Barlow Jun 23rd 2008 at 9:00AM Filed under: Cards, Debt, Extracurriculars Late on rent? Loan shark breathing down your neck? Can't fill your car with gas to get to work on Monday? Assuming all available funds and traditional sources of credit are tapped out, here are 25 (legal) ways to raise cash in a few days. We list them in order from least to most desperate. Understand this first: this is our #1, most desperate way to make some quick cash, and only applies in this situation: you have some cash, but not enough, and MUST have more within a very short time or your life will fall into ruin. When you've exhausted every other possible avenue, only then does a reasonable man consider the casino. Why is this our most desperate? Look at Las Vegas. Those beautiful building don't grow in place; they represent the house's advantage. Understanding this, what is you best play? If I were in this situation, what games would offer me the best shot at winning enough to save my butt? Games I would avoid: slot machines, roulette, and other games that are 100% luck. The house advantage is considerable and unalterable. I would also avoid games in which I compete directly against other betters, such as poker. I'm not an experienced player, so the odds would be heavily against me. I'd go with blackjack. A four-deck game gives the house only a .51% advantage, vs. 9-10% on the slot machines. I'd find a system to guide my decisions and bet strictly within those guidelines. This would give me as close to a 50% chance of winning as I'd be likely to find in a casino. And, most importantly, I'd take this vow. Read it aloud with me. "I will quit the moment I have the money I need." I'd tattoo that on the back of my hand. If I'm down to our #1 way to raise cash in a hurry, I'm already playing long odds, and the rule of any casino is, if you play long enough, you'll lose. 100% guaranteed. All 25 ways to raise quick cash. Permalink Print thisWith HP wireless printers, you could have printed this from any room in the house. Live wirelessly.
