Speaking of commodities markets...
...why is oil below $70 & we're paying close to $3.00 / gal.?
I for one, am tired of being bent-over.

If the US tried to get into the EEU...
...we'd be turned down! The Maastricht Treaty states that the National Debt must be NO MORE than 60% of that country's GDP. So les'see now, we're in debt to the tune of somewhere between $13 & 18T USD - depending on your source it can be as high as $21T!!!. So let's take the minimum $13T as our National Debt. The GDP for 2009 was $11.8T so let's round-up to $12T.
With me so far?
Let's crunch the numbers: we are $1T in the red w/ THE most conservative of numbers...so we're about 8% shy of even parity. Our ratio (debt to output) is 1.08 GDP or 108% of our total domestic output. Greece was only 104% & see what happened to them?...& all you O'bama-ites continue to follow the pied-piper.
The cliff looms...but please don't look up.
It'll be easier this way...

Hey Barack...
...listen up:
"What we're seeing in Greece is the death spiral of the welfare state. This isn't Greece's problem alone, and that's why its crisis has rattled global stock markets and threatens economic recovery. Virtually every advanced nation, including the United States, faces the same prospect. Aging populations have been promised huge health and retirement benefits, which countries haven't fully covered with taxes. The reckoning has arrived in Greece, but it awaits most wealthy societies." --columnist Robert J. Samuelson

I'm NOT...
...a flag-waver in the conventional sense, nor am I particularly pro-war (especially since the bureaucrats initiate it, then not allow our people to do what is necessary as they - the Fat-cats - get rich & our soldiers get dead), but watch this until the end.

Un-ambiguous "Idiot Speak"...
...from today's NYT:
"Payrolls surged with an unexpectedly strong 290,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department reported on Friday, while the unemployment rate rose to 9.9 percent. “This is unambiguously a strong report for growth implications,” James O’Sullivan, chief economist at MF Global, said. “It adds to the evidence that the pickup in growth is leading to a clear-cut pickup in employment. It is very clear there has been a bounce here, and momentum has been up.”
...& the "...hits keep on comin' ..."
What will tomorrow's spin (a.k.a. lie) be?

The "Grand Illusion"...
...
"Until now we've borrowed from Communist China and Japan to cover the big-spending bar tab of our power-drunk politicians. But now both China and Japan have growing economic problems of their own - and growing doubts about our ability to repay them with uninflated dollars.
Our ruling party and its media allies claim the economy and jobs are growing. They've poured nearly $1.5 trillion dollars of stimulus into the economy and are set to spend another Trillion before the November elections to create the grand illusion of a recovery.
So far this sky-high spending has created scarcely 2-3% growth and jobs largely in government, including tens of thousands of temporary jobs taking the Census.
The ruling party will pretend that printing trillions of dollars to cover our debt won't destroy the value of the dollar through inflation. A presidential commission days after the election will announce ideas for massive new taxes to suck more dollars out of your pockets." -World Net Daily

Look, I am well aware that a segment of the population see this as an affront - & I am no fan of what this symbolizes to some - but when is this "Political Correctness" bullshit going to become tempered w/ some sanity?
