Whatever happened to those posters? Maybe they are just lurking now? Maybe they changed their name?

These are good questions.
Ignored by the very same posters that have weighed in on this thread.

Strong opinions and predictions are so cool with no consequences, hoping you don't get called on your bullshit. It is fun to throw crap all over the place, as long as you don't have to clean up with answers.

Now you're being called, what do you got?

So, nothing? Typical BS, zero responsibility for grand statements of the past. Post Urban Dictionary quotes and pretend you never said those things, or saw requests for an explanation.

New low for credibility.

Please try to be more understanding of Roulette Man's seemingly irrational behavior. He suffers from what many California residents refer to as 'SC rage." It's common among University of Southern California students and grads, and it for many it actually begins the day they realize they will be attending USC.

Of course that's the same day they receive the rejection letter from UCLA.

Poor old Forkush, you couldn't give an honest straight answer if your life depended upon it. Now that chunk of corn is still on your chin. See if the nurse can wipe it off. BTW, one doesn't need to go any further than this thread to see what you said.

Now, the next time you use the "But Reagan did it" or "But Bush did it" are you telling us that we shouldn't have changed from their political ideals? It sure appears that way. Do you know how absolutely inept and pathetic you look, when you use that tactic?

You quite frankly aren't worth responding to, but where is the substantiation for these supposed questions? Do you think interest rates are set with a free market or are you as misinformed as I suspect you are?

I never heard about the death squads, but I do note that Guantanamo is still open and still doing business when our president promised to close it.

I don't recall anyone saying the first point.

Under normal conditions deficits such as ours would have resulted in higher interest rates. However while we continue to run up huge deficits, rates are being kept artificially low by the Treasury buying up the bonds. So we have one branch of the govt keeping the rest of the govt afloat

The "death squads" is the Independent Advisory board which is not due to be appointed until 2014. Their job is to keep medical costs down. Since 5% of the population uses 50% of the medical resources, the only way to keep costs down is rationing how much care one can receive

I do find it quite interesting that soem want to paint such a rosy picture of how the economy is. Completely ignored is the unemployment problem, crushing debt and the feds running the printing presses 24/7. Deficit spending with no end in sight to get it under control. It's a problem. Big one.

I know some are going to twist and distort and cherry pick some stats and graphs, hell one might even make one up, hasn't stopped him before, but it's all just smoke trying to mask what's going on. I like it tho. It's amusing and there has to be an opposing side to keep everyone honest(well, kinda haha)

Speaking of rosy pictures surely 2008 Obama supporter Mort Zuckerman has a lot of nice things to say about the current state of our economy.

QUIZ TIME: Who once said "we can't mortgage our children's future on a mountain of debt"?

And later said, referring to raising the debt cieling yet again,"I' m not going to play that game with them(the rep.s) every time we need to raise the debt cieling" Gee, How many more times is he gonna want to raise it?

The second quote is what scares the living sh!t outta me, anyway, WHO MADE THESE STATEMENTS?
