Then, Endless QE... ENDLESS!
The FED says $40 billion every month?
You know that number will be much much higher.
When will the FED buy the Mortgage Backed Securities?
Insider trading anyone? Market fluctuation on the day of the purchase
before and after. Like to have an algorithm for that! anyway side issue, my bad. Just like TARP. A scam just like ENDLESS! QE. Both scams to purchase Mortgage Backed Securities. Remember TARP was supposed to help underwater home owners! Oh! But, the next day they changed their mind, remember? As of two years ago the real number is $23.7 trillion.

I have a better idea...
Why not cut the annual trillion dollar plus Defense spending.
Does America really need 160 military bases world wide?
Spend that money here in America!
I'm really tired of paying taxes to help fund bombing sovereign countries
and killing innocent people.
Also, cut most of the billions in annual foreign aid.
America needs more domestic aid!
U.S. Foreign Aid to the United Nations and Israel would be the first on my list. Seen GAZA lately? Trusting Bankers and Politicians is going to turn America into a Banana Republic just like Honduras... which American corporations own.
Peace

I agree with everything you said except cutting aid to Israel - we should support Israel even if it means a slight increase in debt.

Apples and oranges.
But if you think they do a better job over there ... why not stay?

How is it apples and oranges, pray tell? Are roads cheaper to build there? Last longer?
As for staying, I'm working on it. Soon, very soon!

Wow- if I am not mistaken part of Obama's jobs bill he introduced last September had provisions to rebuild America's infrastructure which would have employed thousands of construction workers and also would have been good for business that supply and create the materials to rebuild the infrastructure- but oh wait the GOP blocked the bill- oh jeez!!!!!

Too many people visit places outside this country and "assume" that the good things they see outside this country are portable to this country. Our social and driving habits dictate the structure and wear on our roads, not to mention available "mass" transportation systems that are available for commutes that take the "pressure" off the existing systems in many countries. It's the same with "health care coverage" as it relates to budget considerations.
But it makes good name and place dropping dialogue on the boards. You can always pretend to leave, retire your name, and come back as a "BushHog"!
Enjoy yourself after your move.

I think his "jobs bill" like his "health care" kicked in AFTER his 1st term! And like his "health care" to improve the economy his "jobs bill" was a mechanism to shift the wealth ... or re-distribute the wealth by taking tax money from one group and paying to another group ... more snake oil.
Have you noticed that all his "plans" for American actually take place AFTER he is in a second term .... if he gets re-elected! Ever wondered why?
It's like writing a mechanic a hot check to get the car out of his shop!
He learmed that in Chicago when he failed to replace the insulation in the housing project he gutted of insulation that was supposed to be contaminated.
You do know, don't you, that this man (Obaminable) never "rebuilt" or "built" anything in his life ... not even a ma and pa grocery store!

Part of the Porkulus Bill was for "shovel ready jobs" Turns out, there weren't any shovel ready jobs; they just pissed the money away.

See, you answered your own question with your own b.s.
"less populated" and "easy train service" ....
.. thank you, btw.
Tuscany about 9,000 square miles and Pop. about 4,000,000.
There are roughly 5,000 miles ( or is that kilometers?) of roadway.

U.S. Interstate by end of Obaminable's "2nd" term!

I wish you would start a thread on that. I don't understand it either. Especially after seeing that blowhard Netanyahu on TV this weekend...

How did the "Jobs Creation Bill" originally proposed by the House, all five versions, turn into HIS bill? If you look into it, the bill passed has little to do with jobs creation. Its more about gutting environmental regulations. And it still doesn't address repair of our infra-structure.

Same way the Healthcare Spend and Tax Bill is "Obamacare"!
He wanted it. He can wear it all the way through November.
Hide and listen to him through Pelosi and Reed under the bus during debates.
Just like he is standing back and letting his buddy Rummie fade the union heat in Chicago while the teachers whine that their raise is not good enough even though they won't have any school buildings in which to teach.

Why do you bring up factual information? Geezzz.
Stirring up confusion and embarrassment at the same time, again.
Beltway 8 finally is a loop now... non-stop ... until someone loses control and flips!
