Having said that, I find this world wide recession/depression thing to be very scary. IMHO, it’s quite likely that the American stock market could go into free-fall (market capitulation) after the Dow drops below 7000 (that could happend next week). I believe the main reason why our economy has not been seriously hammered was due to the sudden drop in petroleum price. If petroleum were to suddenly spike to over $100/barrel then the whole economic house of cards could collapse. That scenario could easily happen if the Iranians or al Qaeda played a trick in the Persian Gulf (why haven’t they done this already?). Now add to this uncertainty about the world’s economy that we have Obama as President (Thanks! MSM). IMHO, there is no logical reason at all to have any confidence in the US Federal government with Obama as President and Pelosi as Speaker of the House. We really are in the situation where the doors are all locked, there’s a big puddle of gasoline on the floor and some dimwit is standing in the middle of it holding a burning match.</I><BR/><BR/>The good outlook seems to be that China and the USA are sort of wedded to one another--Chimerica.<BR/><BR/>Ameriyuan, yuero, yuameroBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-12974676563115975112009-02-27T20:39:00.000-05:002009-02-27T20:39:00.000-05:00Study after study over the past several decades ha...<I>Study after study over the past several decades has shown how countries that spend more produce less, while nations that tax less produce more.

And they’re using poor people and people of color to do it.” <BR/><BR/><BR/>The group discussed ACORN’s track record of election fraud, which is concerning considering the group is the largest grass roots organization in America with 170 affiliated organizations. Despite a series of complaints of voter registration fraud by ACORN representatives, however, the mainstream media is reluctant to report on the group’s transgressions, RNLA officials say. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Heidelbaugh, who in October of 2008 tried a preliminary case on behalf of the Pennsylvania Republican State Committee alleging voter fraud, misrepresentation, violation of the equal protection code and due process by ACORN, claims the New York Times refused to go with a story brought to the court about a woman who testified in court about Barack Obama’s link to ACORN. <BR/><BR/><BR/>“If somebody testifies in court, under oath, and tells the truth and has evidence, certainly then the truth will come out,” Heidelbaugh surmised. She then brought the court transcript to the CNN investigative reporter covering the court case. <BR/><BR/><BR/>“I was interviewed by a CNN reporter with a camera at the trial. It [the story] never got out,” Heidelbaugh said. “I was later told, ‘We’re not going with this story; it’s a game-changer.’ ABC World News tonight? Same story. This is the failure of our democracy. This is the failure of the mass media to enforce our First Amendment.”Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-29916858402651614572009-02-27T17:37:00.000-05:002009-02-27T17:37:00.000-05:00Fiscal Responsibility Is The New Counter-CultureTe...<A HREF="http://michellemalkin.com/" REL="nofollow">Fiscal Responsibility Is The New Counter-Culture</A><BR/><BR/>Tea Party photos.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-45697595350120643302009-02-27T16:54:00.000-05:002009-02-27T16:54:00.000-05:007062.93 -119.15 (-1.66%)Next week forward to breac...7062.93 -119.15 (-1.66%)<BR/><BR/>Next week forward to breach the 7,000 barrier!
