First of all, you just called the House a non-partisan arena, which is fucking hilarious. Also, if you posted in GMD, you would know that I'm extremely active in political discussions there, but it's generally not worth my time arguing with you or RiA or Krigloch here, so I don't bother.
Eric, you honestly don't think the blame should be placed at the feet who got butthurt over one statement, and thus screwed (according to you) the economy. Are these people adults or fucking teenagers?
i dont care that it didnt pass. i dont want my tax dollars going to pay for this shit.
It's nonsensical that we have to pay through our nose because banks were offering home loans to fucking spics who didn't have SSN numbers. The only thing these mojados needed was a individual taxpayer identification number and voila, instant financing. Despite the IRS admitting that such numbers are not sufficient for identification purposes. No Job, Bad Credit, No Citizenship, No Problem!
My two 401k accounts have taken a -12% and a -13% drop respectively.
Good times.
A family member in a very high position in a very large investment firm said not to do anything - that the economy was worse after 9/11 and it's all about how the media and the politicians word things. He suggested that times like these can be viewed as a great opportunity. I know you're thinking "of course he said that" but I don't think he'd steer his own family wrong.
I wish I had some $ to invest right now.
I wish I had the cajones.
