A fact even economy proffesors are very agree a bout .......

So I really cant stop thinking what I have known for a long time Stressfree!

The main reason why so many organisations abused their actions based on Greed , was a George W Bush in the White House and the matter is certain as nothign else!

But of course...... We dont have to be agree a bout any thing Stressfree!


It's cool singleDude. We agree on some things, and we don't agree on some things. Trust me, there is really nobody in the world who agrees with me 100%, and I really don't agree with anybody in the world 100%. Get it? We all have our own minds right? Or are we indoctrinated robots? rolling on the floor laughing

Anyways singleDude, I don't agree with your assessment that Bush is the only reason behind the global meltdown. It goes way back and involves republicans, democrats, independents, and the people who were just as risky and reckless with their money.

I personally know two people who made really bad decisions when they bought their home via a subprime loan.

I totally disagree Kansan. Nothing personal, but we have two different opinions. That is all.

The civil war was fought in America Kansan. And in 1864, America was not the superpower of the world, so the civil war was not as damaging to the rest of the world on all levels...especially with the global markets. The dynamics of everything is drastically different Kansan...or so it seems to me. That is all.


Doggone kids! Cain't teach 'em nothin' 'cause they already know it all!laugh

Ratios and perspective, SF, ratios and perspective. Do you not understand that in the time of the civil war, America was the closest thing the world HAD to a "superpower?" I mean, heck, only "four score and seven years" before, America had defeated, in a war for independence, arguably the most powerful nation on the face of the earth at the time. In the mean time, we as a country, had started the most far reaching expansion movement and industrialization period the world had ever known to that point. Wow, talk about something that affected the global markets!

And EVERYTHING in the known world was affected by the outcome of both wars (independence and civil). The only thing that's really different, really, is the numbers and the cost. And the numbers (casualty wise) in this war have been considerably smaller. The monetary cost has been greater, but I'd be willing to bet that the ratio is very close to being same if one takes into account inflation. And I think that history will tell us that the "dynamics" are really very much the same when put into the perspective of the respective times.

Contrary to what you might think, I understand where you're coming from and why you think the way you do. I'm just not willing to condemn Mr. Bush for this war any more than I was willing to condemn Mr. Clinton for <allegedly> giving our "secrets" to the Chinese. I can't, I don't have all of the facts. And, unless you're privy to everything that goes on in the Whitehouse, Pentagon and other "nerve centers" around the world, neither do you...

Looks like we'll indeed have to agree to disagree on this. I'm not going to be able to change your mind because I'm too old was born in the wrong place (according to you). You're not going to able to change my mind because you're younger and were born in California (I'm being facetious). You live in Sweden the majority of the year and I live in the U.S. full time. You know a ton about baseball and I know a ton about history. Neither of us are as stubbborn as the other would like to believe. You've made up your mind about Mr. Bush's "guilt" and I haven't... handshake

Kansan...I agree.laugh I'm hoping I'm right.

I like your style at taking some things out of contextlaugh Maybe I did toouh oh! I tried to keep it in the ballparklaugh

Anyways, Great Briton was economically the lone superpower in 1865 and a valid argument can be made that Great Briton possessed the best military during the British Empire.

Maybe you need to freshen up on your history? laugh laugh I hope this is not about American pride/ego nowrolling eyes

From wiki cause it's faster, to the point : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Empire:

Between 1815 and 1914, a period referred to as Britain's "imperial century" by some historians, around 10 million square miles of territory and roughly 400 million people were added to the British Empire.Victory over Napoleon left Britain without any serious international rival, other than Russia in central Asia and, unchallenged at sea, Britain adopted the role of global policeman, a state of affairs later known as the Pax Britannica. Alongside the formal control it exerted over its own colonies, Britain's dominant position in world trade meant that it effectively controlled the economies of many nominally independent countries, such as in Latin America, China and Siam, which has been characterised by some historians as an "informal empire".

I know. All the problems in the world are George W. Bush's fault. In fact, today I was getting a pedicure and she clipped my cuticle and I bled. It was all George Bush's fault. I'm so angry at him!!!!

Cite your sources please on all "economy proffesors" since I would like to quote you, you know when I have to pay my credit card bills at the end of the month. I'll just tell Visa that the "proffesors" all say it isn't my responsbility.

What about the military's technology and capability? The US had tanks, an air force and nuclear weapons in 1865? grin Other countries had them too? Prior to World War I, the United Kingdom had one of the world's or the world's strongest economies, holding 40% of the world's overseas investments.

The cost of today's war is directly related with the increase of cost for oil...all over the world. Gas prices have skyrocketed in Europe and America. The civil did not create this huge impact globally on transportation...obviously cause cars or airplanes did not exist. Everybody is affected today, and it's a heavy burden. How was the global world affected in similar ways? Like I said, the dynamics of everything were just light years different. The whole world was just too different in 1865 to draw parallels.

Interesting debate.thumbs up

It's too bad they did not have the time to expand on some issues.

They both held their own. Too little time, to many issues to cover in such a short time. Not enough specifics on any of the issues by both Obama and McCain. Although, McCain did express some aggressive tones when it came to an Iran attack on Israel as well as his statement of speaking softly but carrying a big stick.

McCain threw a new pitch out tonight on the economy.

To be honest I missed it. But one of the commentator caught it.

Happened early the debate on the economic crisis....when
McCain siad he wanted to help homeowners that had falling
values to the properties with mortage assistance programs.

According to the commentator that is about a $300b dollar
program.

Here in Florida, we have many new housing development going
up or are up. With the housing buble burst, home owners have
gotten clobbered. Without the propoerty value, they cannot
use the house as equity for loans or creditlines.

I think McCain is seeing this. Says that if we restore the house
market value, we recover these sources of income to home
owners.

Seems to me to be the fastest way to effect this at grassroots.
Also will keep people in thier homes.

Thoughts?

Okay, I got both Fox news and CNN on simultaneously right now...should be interesting to hear these two versions of the debate.

So far, CNN has people talking in favor for Obama.

And Fox has McCain as the winner in the first half, but the loser in the second half of the debate.

I think Obama did enough to secure his lead in the polls.

My post still stands...

Didn't Clinton wipe out GH Bush because the economy was weak in 92?

I remember that was a huge factor for winning that election. I see history repeating itself....

Wait, now Fox is saying McCain won the debate with their polls (text votes) and CNN is telling me Obama won with their respective polls.

Who should I believe? rolling on the floor laughing

There are a couple of mechanism that could do it or be used to do it.

HUD would likely adminster the program. A bank that had a homeowner defaulting.....could come to HUD....say he needs help. Then the program kicks in.

The other part is the bad mortages where default has already occurred. Assuming that the bank is now the owner and wants to keep the homeowner in the residence. They could offer a refinance or a lease purchase option. HUD again over sees and provides the funds.

With mortages now not defaulting.....and steady flow of payments occuring....the homeowner regains equity and credit. Just having a refinace option to lower rates, can save $100s per month.

Lastly is a house has depreciated in value.....then a line of credit could be made avialable to the owner to improve it.....increase the value.

Looks like we are going to have a Fed that drops the base interest rate again. But with the banking and mortage system, that does not shift to the homeowner very fast.

Great NEWS courtesy of Fox: Nevada state authorities seized records and computers Tuesday from the Las Vegas office of an organization that tries to get low-income people registered to vote, after fielding complaints of voter fraud.

Bob Walsh, spokesman for the Nevada secretary of state's office, told FOXNews.com the raid was prompted by ongoing complaints about "erroneous" registration information being submitted by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, also called ACORN.

The group was submitting the information through a voter sign-up drive known as Project Vote.

"Some of them used nonexistent names, some of them used false addresses and some of them were duplicates of previously filed applications," Walsh said, describing the complaints, which largely came from the registrar in Clark County, Nev.

Secretary of State Ross Miller said the fraudulent registrations included forms for the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys football team.

"Tony Romo is not registered to vote in the state of Nevada, and anybody trying to pose as Terrell Owens won't be able to cast a ballot on Nov. 4," Miller said.

Walsh said agents from both the secretary of state's office and Nevada attorney general's office conducted the raid at 9:30 a.m. local time, and "took a bunch of stuff."

ACORN spokesman Charles Jackson confirmed the group's Nevada office was raided. He would not comment further to FOXNews.com.

Neither the group, which hires canvassers to register voters, nor any employees have been charged or arrested for fraud or other crimes, said Miller, a Democrat.

But it's not the first time ACORN's been under investigation for registration irregularities. The raid is the latest of at least nine investigations into possible fraudulent voter registration forms submitted by ACORN -- the probes have involved ACORN workers in Wisconsin, New Mexico, Indiana and other states.

In 2006, ACORN also committed what Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed called the "worse case of election fraud" in the state's history.

In the case, ACORN submitted just over 1,800 new voter registration forms, and all but six of the 1,800 names were fake.

More recently, 27,000 registrations handled by the group from January to July 2008 "went into limbo because they were incomplete, inaccurate, or fraudulent," said James Terry, chief public advocate at the Consumers Rights League.For some reason, Chris Matthews isn't talking about this on Hardball.


LMFAO, gosh...from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACORN

"In contrast, John Atlas argues in a Huffington Post editorial that ACORN has "accumulated many enemies" and has been "subjected to vicious attacks from business lobbyists, conservative politicians, and right-wing media." This same source alleges that the George W. Bush administration has sought to harass ACORN with accusation of voter fraud."

ACORN=radical change

ACORN endorsed the candidacy of Barack Obama during the 2008 Democratic Presidential Primary.peace applause cheering

Ok, SF. This time I'll use the white flag emoticon. You're pretty good at "taking some things out of context" yourself.laugh

I can't see into the future. No one can. I don't know what all of the eventual ramifications of this war will be although you seem to. I don't know all of the reasons behind going into this war, although you seem to've made up your mind. You don't agree with this war and neither do I. I'm actually living considerably better now than I was in 1999, obviously you're not. You're willing to condemn Mr. Bush for this war and I refuse to because I don't have all the facts. Ask me again 10 years from now.

You know, almost a year ago, I was told by another forum member that I needed to do stomach crunches or some similar exercise because it would dispell or at least alleviate the gastro-intestinal problems I was having. I did and it exacerbated the situation. 10 days ago I had my gallbladder removed because of those same problems. The person who advocated this - and who shall remain nameless - didn't have all the facts...
