Luckily, I will probably be dead before or if that day of reckoning arrives. They are called "purges" for a reason. Make no mistake, should that day ever arrive, you (and I) will be on the list. |

the currency goes first, then the purges. the progressives call it the 'culling' rather than saying that they are going to eliminate, exterminate countless segments of society, they say they are going to support and elevate their enlighted cadre.... um yes, all animals are equal, some more equal than others. currency goes 2017; maybe there will be a new 'HOPE' note for purchases. The cult of Personality is not standing down on this one, they are still in the process of turning the dial. and if you want to talk about death panels.... it is indeed in the bill. |

For some the "end of life planning" simply isn't tied to date of birth. Sad to believe it could happen here. Then again, I believe Americans are at their best when fighting tyranny. It's almost like if we can't find it abroad, we create it domestically. |

Awesome! So they are going to run the deficit by stealing from the government workers. Noticed this in the article from Two_seasons...
quote:Geithner, who has already suspended a program that helps state and local government manage their finances, will begin to borrow from retirement funds for federal workers.
I feel sad for anyone who is taking financial advice from Turbo Tax Timmy. Which emoticon shows irony? |

Obviously we should raise taxes...... Hmmmm. where can we get the money? Politicians campaign funds have billions! Take them from the biggest ( Barack Obama ) down to the dog catcher. Then we can confiscate the rich guys in Congress's money, from richest to poorest. Then their wives. ( Kerry the gigolo's old lady is loaded! ) Or, they could stop spending more money than they have? Never mind, it would be easier to take their money by force...... ( where's the sarcastic but true emotocon? ) I love the whole "The measure won’t have an impact on retirees because the Treasury is legally required to reimburse the program." Like Social Security? |

Social Security is as solid as the dollar! |

It's really scary . . . as we hit our debt limit . . to look at "Turbo Tax Tim" and think we have a person in charge who's resume' wouldn't get them hired as a Senior at BDO or E&Y. We deserve MUCH better leaders. It amazes me how folks tolerate this. |

the 'dollar' disappears in less than a decade. (and any compensation tied to a dollar amount will get wonky) I would start hedging on the Chinese Yen, silver, lithium, titanium, gold, and of course early optioned 'green' credits (because that ponzi scheme is probably what will lead to the collapse of the dollar) |

City, not to be argumentative, but Social Security is a Ponzi Scheme. Green credits are religious indulgences. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indulgence The difference is simple, and profound. A Ponzi scheme pays back the first people in it, as a way to advertise what a "great deal" it is. Thus, ( with social security )folk over, say, 60+ have a shot at getting something, but those under that do not. The money will be gone. Folk who are 70+ have actually got more than they put in, which is/was a selling point for Social Security. Too bad all the money was and still is, stolen. Bernie Madoff made some real good money for the earlier investors, it took a while for him to no longer be able to cover up the scam. SS is bigger and takes longer to fail. "Green" credits on the other hand have no payoff, they are simple cons, as you buy absolutely nothing except "good natural vibes" from believing you are "making a difference". In the case of Al 'The Prophet' Gore, most of his illegal "investment" seems to be going to Waste Management to be laundered under methane recovery projects they were going to do anyway at dumps. I suspect the management over at WM is well versed in "clean money" technologies. |

oh theres money to be made in Green Credits, hell they are traded in Chicago, I have seen dividends every quarter in my energy management stocks. and yes, I did well with Enron back in the day. The money to be had, is look at the sub contractors of the big guys that have been awarded process assemblies or management contracts to 'green' technologies. it will be the classic pump and dump, they should plummet dramatically in Feb 2013; after the hype of the election is over and the fiscal reality of the smoke and mirrors set in. It is the classic case of FIFO (First in First Out) It has paid me well since the 80's... my sin stocks are doing well too (booze, cigarettes, tele-com, gamblin sights, and of course the xxx sites that are public) Though playboy has been taking a beating since the rise of the internet. buy off hype, buy consumable stocks with proven residual, buy sub contractors (avoid the high cost of the larger blue chips) and of course look overseas. |

I didn't say there wasn't money in Green cons, just that, unlike a Ponzi where early joiners can make money, green credits buy the consumer nothing. FIFO is the way to win on ponzi's. ( never mind the later people get screwed ) |
