• Don't worry. Some enlightened people are suing to remove "In God We Trust" off of our money.

  Atheism will save us.

  • And Bernie Sanders is going to dismantle Obamacare.

• Can't be much longer before the crap hits the fan.

• Pay attention to history. Control the education, control the money, control the health care and control the energy. That is exactly what the Nazis and Bolsheviks did.

• OK, that was one HELL of a heavy read...but it explains a lot. Like why the stock market was following every tick of oil, up or down, and why the good reporting outta the banks the other day didn't keep the bottom from falling outta the market yesterday. It ALSO explains why, if you have anything tied to the stock market, you have plenty of reason to worry.

  Makes me wonder if the Fed is gonna keep this house of cards propped up until a Republican wins the White House, and then pull the rug out from under them.

  • "OK, that was one HELL of a heavy read…" No kidding, I stopped looking words up after the fourth time, 'tranches'. Is there a financial dictionary out there like the medical one?

    • As a matter of fact, Ghost...

      (I got lucky...I found it looking up what "tranches" meant!)

      I think I learned more reading the comments than I did reading that article.

      Sorry it took so long to reply...I couldn't log on earlier, and needed assistance from the front office...

  • I wouldn't be surprised if president Petulance makes the crash come just before he leaves office so he can spook the RINOs again and ram through a few more stimulus packages to his cronies.

    • When I first read your post, I thought it said president Flatulence, which I was thinking would be the hot air version of president Fecal Top.

    • Or declare martial law...

      • I wish that sounded paranoid. It doesn't.

        • It only sounds paranoid to the Obamabot Zombies.
          To everyone else, it sounds terribly Orwellian, and plausible.

        • A couple of weekends ago, at the Renaissance Faire at the London Bridge, in Lake Havasu, I watched a juggler doing an amazing show with fire and such on a nearby stage. Someone said something about him being arrogant. (It's part of his onstage character) So I came up with a modification of the saying about paranoia. "It's not arrogance if you really are that good."

        • It's only paranoia if they're not really after you.

• Somehow, Progressives will claim this all the fault of the greedy oil companies.

  • Kochtopus!!!

    BUSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

  • It worked 8 years ago.
