FF, that's a good point. life is complex. ;-) here's more of my anti-government rant - CA's legal citizen population dropped 1.5 million in the last decade, but the size of CA's government doubled. you'll never see this information on any TV show or newspaper article. gerald celente is 100% right - these sociopathic, megalomaniac, pathological lying narcissist politicians will push down and out people over the tipping point and they will push back. i don't think i can stomach watching another arnold movie... he punishes dwindling legal citizen tax payers but gives a set aside of $1 billion in pork to create jobs in... the film industry. and he has the nerve to claim only special interests were against the largest tax increase in US history as we are plunging into a depression. bush was a lying crackpot who swindled people into his agenda of ignorant war and giveaways to the uber rich. obama is the exact same, except his agenda is to create a populace dependent on the public dole so guys like him can be KING. as his political hack chief of staff said - they can't waste a good crisis (to manipulate their agenda onto the masses). america is ruined. it is all downhill now and the slope is steep. the financial system is insolvent (for context, the sum of all the mortgages in this country is ~$11 trillion)... BAC has as much as $38.2 trillion in derivatives exposure and $3.4 trillion in CDS C has as much as $40.0 trillion on derivatives exposure and $2.5 trillion in CDS JPM has as much as $92.0 trillion in derivatives exposure and $9.5 trillion in CDS
