jerryzflies 0 #26 March 6, 2009 QuoteQuoteQuoteOne can always find a poll that reflects their views. Wednesday, March 04, 2009 The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 42% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. PRINCETON, NJ -- For the first time since Gallup began tracking Barack Obama's presidential job approval rating on Jan. 21, fewer than 60% of Americans approve of the job he is doing as president. In Feb. 21-23 polling, 59% of Americans give Obama a positive review, while 25% say they disapprove, and 16% have no opinion. Gallup reports 62% approval this morning. www.gallup.com/Home.aspx How does that compare with your guy on Jan 19th? It must stick in your throat that last November the voters of the US decided that the GOP was not competent to run the White House, the Senate, or the House. anything bad that happened before Obama took office was probably Bill Clinton's fault. Clinton - that reminds me...If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BDashe 0 #27 March 6, 2009 "Corporate bailouts are a different story...For me, I think that is much more destructive to a free market system." I agree! let em fall on their face. John stewart had a great segment last night showing all the CEOs that were full of sh*t saying everything is fine, 3 months later they were all f*cked. Bad leadership should not be rewarded, just like poor management of your personal finances should not be rewarded. Truthfully, I'm not 100% against some social safety nets, the problem is the dems spend SO MUCH, it is out of control. Living in the state of CA, i make less than 100K and some how I lose a total of 43% of my paycheck to taxes and other government programs- and that is just based on INCOME! doesn't include all the other taxes we pay out here. I just think it is SO WRONG to take home 50% or less of your paycheck at the end of the day, cut the spending and let us live our lives, buy sh*t and stimulate the economy! It just isnt fair for any of us. the government should be able to operate at MOST on 25% of what it's citizens make. The fact that more taxes are on the horizon makes me want to throw up.So there I was... Making friends and playing nice since 1983 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Misternatural 0 #29 March 6, 2009 >Indeed, people often lament the lack of savings here in the US. But people trying to wean themselves from debt and save just a little today (mainly out of fear for the future) is one of the reasons we are in this recession to begin with. Strange. That sir is a VERY interesting observation...My Fathers generation was all about "save for a rainy day" and I think in a post depression economy people were still strongly affected by the lack of work, goods, and services to choose from. so when they made money it went right into the bank. At least that way the banks have real capital to lend out. However I think that the larger and more complex an economy gets where there are ever increasing goods, services, and industries to keep people employed- the less saving makes sense...money has to be kept flowing through the system in order for it to work properly...sort of like the electrical grid...Maybe there is some sort of algorithm that can show the effects of capital flow correlated with the size and complexity of global economies over time. Does the Fed use such a computer algorithm to help manage the flow of capital now that we crossed the pedaflop calculation barrier? It seems that the problem of capital flow and interest rate management could benefit from more computerized interventions. Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires.

Lucky... 0 #35 April 6, 2010 Quote Quote ...30% since election day.Spend some more, Messiah! Your post looks a bit silly now that a year has passed. Right, it's as brilliant as saying the unemp was Obama's fault, it has skyrocketed 3.4% from Feb 08 to Feb 09, so the 2% it kept going after Feb 09 was the overrun it took for the stimulus to kick in. Now it has dropped from 10.1% to 9.7% and jobs are being created. Same with the market, it had tanked from 14k to whatever Obama inherited, 8-9kish and it kept rolling downward. See, when the other total financial crash happened in teh GD and the gov thought they would let it fix itself, it kept rolling with no intervention; today's Repubs don't get that doesn't work and tehyt cite 1920 depression which was just a war transition-to- non war economy where the banks were dead, just some markets, jobs, etc. I just apologize to Chuck, Stanley and all the real Americans who want the US to tank so they can be, "right."

So if there is no double dip, will you be praising the effects the recovery act had? I expect that if the economy does recover quickly it will be a very bad day for a lot of people here.

BDashe 0 #47 April 6, 2010 John tried to put the exact same words in my mouth, you two bros? I support business, and people who run ethical businesses. I've never taken a stance one way or another on skyride, just ASC. skyride doesnt affect me, I have no experience with em personally. If they are so bad it'll probably bite em. ASC does matter to me, which as long as I've been jumping (not too long), is a damn good place. I never witnessed any stolen money there, which I cant say for other DZs I've visited. But I don't go online trash talked DZs I don't agree with, cuz it is kind of a small community, and ultimately the survival of our DZs is for the greater good. I just won't jump there. I'm a registered independent, Voted for O in the primaries. Things can change, just like he says! If taxing is stealing (which I'm guilty of calling it in heated debates) we're all supporters of evil. Edit: k, i'm done with thread drift now :-)So there I was...

I never said when, I said the market is oversold... guess what ... I still think that and so do many other market watchers and experts. I still think that the market could sell off and before I stated it could easily sell off all of it gains.... and it could. I'm sorry you do not know what you are talking about and have no real knowledge of the market... that is evident by your claims that what Obama has done is what spurred this rally. The truth is that the rally would have probably come no matter what. Market are cyclical and although policy can have an effect on it.... most likely policies just enhance what was going to happen anyway. For the last time stop fabricating idea and crediting them to me because you have nothing else to grab on to other than trying to bait people so you can get in a pissing match with them. We get it.... you are extremely left, Obama can do no worng, and all Republicans or conservatives suck and will never do anything right. Everyone knows you feel that way. Waht would be refreshing is if you conceded on some things that are being done poorly by the left and admitted they are not perfect. It would be nice if you actually had something of value to say.......Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.
