I'm in. Let me know where to send the check.
It only took him 6 years...............
We dominate in that category!!!!
No. I do not support that.
Some facts about the economic boost in recent months.

Correct. They can't figure out a way to cash a check on real solutions.
like myself? I see you are no different than others here. When you want to compare tax returns and financial statements, let me know. I have never cashed a govt check my friend nor have I had to use food stamps.
I was more than civil in my posts to you and assumed you would do the same. Typical for the liberal mind. you can't have a discussion without an insult or attack.
Happy New Year to You.
understood and I simply disagree with them on that definition.
SS is not a tax (technically)
Perfect. More rights stripped away.
I hope not.
All I can say is that Mr. Ryan is just as misinformed as you on this issue. By paying into SS all these years I am "entitled" to be repaid but when I think of an entitlement I think of the programs that pay to those that are not paying into the system via taxes, SS, etc.
Happy New Year
SS is not an entitlement. It was paid in by the WORKER and it is only them getting their money back with interest as agreed. Don't mistake entitlements for payments owed to the working class.
So says govt statistics. How does the stock market boom help those on food stamps and on welfare? Americans receiving these entitlements remain at VERY high levels and are still much higher than pre Obammy numbers. I think we can agree that for a true economic recovery, the poor and middle class should see improvement rather than the 1%.

very interesting.
Well said my friend!!
Put me in that group of believers but it is not my intention to push my beliefs upon you or anyone else. I only wanted to point out that Christian beliefs are viewed as crazy by some until they get those days off. I think we agree that hypocrisy runs rampant in America on MANY issues.
In the end my friend, I am just wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday!
Koog. Good stuff here..... Merry Christmas
To you as well. I hope it was a great one!
Christmas will exist for the "day off" if for no other reason. Christians are viewed as stupid and radical ......... except for their holidays..
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Have a safe and happy new year as well!!!!
The insanity is expanding at an alarming pace.
That is awesome and maybe some of those patrons will actually read portions of it and learn something.
Merry Christmas Shermann7 I hope you and your family have a happy and prosperous 2015!!!
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
The Destruction Of The Middle Class Is Nearing The Final Stages
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/23/2014 22:30 -0500
Submitted by Tom Chatham via Project Chesapeake,
The events of the past few months seem astounding when taken in all at once. The plan to destroy the U.S. dollar and the American middle class is moving at an ever increasing speed.
At the recent G20 meeting the nations agreed that bank deposits would no longer be considered money. These bank deposits become the property of the banking institution and as such can be used any way the bank wants. This means that any money you deposit in a bank now is no longer yours but makes you an investor in the bank and subject to lose that money if a banking crisis takes down the bank.
The spending bill just passed by congress makes the American taxpayer responsible for any derivatives loses that banks may suffer. These derivative holders now have first priority when any funds are paid out and depositors are relegated to last place. FDIC insurance will have to pay out these funds but it has no where near enough money to pay the more than 300 trillion in losses that will be suffered in a banking crisis. That means any depositor has little hope of getting anything back. In order for depositors to get anything back massive money printing would have to take place making any payout amount to only pennies on the dollar.
And if you don’t think there is any danger of a banking crisis in America you may want to keep in mind that the Treasury Dept. has recently ordered $200k worth of 72 hr emergency kits for dispersion to every major bank in America. These are known by many as bug-out-bags and are used to support individuals when disaster strikes and they have to care for themselves for the first few days of crisis.
New legislation now gives pension plans the ability to cut benefits to pensioners in the future making the future welfare of these people uncertain. They say it is necessary to prevent these funds from going bankrupt. It will “apply to multi-employer pensions, where a group of businesses in the same industry join forces with unions to provide pension coverage for employees. The plans cover some 10 million U.S. workers,” You may be happy to know this will not affect congressional pensions, as long as they are funded by the taxpayers.
The sanctions being placed on Russia are beginning to destabilize the world in many ways. The sudden drop in oil prices will send ripples through many foreign nations and cause an already tense situation to become highly flammable. It seems this is what is wanted to provoke a new world war and hide the complicity of bankers and politicians in the coming destruction of the economy.
For the past few years those elite with knowledge of the coming monetary destruction have been putting their fiat dollars into any hard assets they can find. The recent record prices paid at auction for collectables is just one more indication that those in the know are moving into hard assets as fast as they can to preserve their wealth.
This diversification includes precious metals and land as well. I believe when there are no more metals or suitable properties available for purchase, these entities in control of this game will pull the plug and let everything collapse. Those holding fiat paper, electrons or other paper promises will be devastated as those assets evaporate into thin air.
You may feel some security knowing you have a good job but among the deposits that disappear will be billions in commercial accounts that belong to businesses. When these businesses lose this money, many will likely close destroying many jobs in the process. This will send ripples through the transportation, production and distribution system when it happens. In an economy made up of 70% consumer spending, this will be fast and devastating to those with few resources to fall back on when it happens.
There are three lessons that many people will learn in the coming months. If you do not have it already you may not be able to get it. If you do not have it physically in your hands you do not own it. If you cannot protect it you will not have it for long.

I hope Santa leaves that under the tree for me......
Merry Christmas to you and yours and have a safe and Happy New Year!!!!
Truly words of wisdom.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!!
I dont believe that I stated that I was a fan anywhere in the post. In fact, I am certain that I didn't. I just posted the article and added no commentary. It was intended to create some thought but instead it created an attack.
Merry Christmas to you and yours
We can always use all the money we are saving with Obammy Care to boost our defenses.............
Merry Christmas
Here Is The Reason For The "Surge" In Q3 GDP
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/23/2014 09:25 -0500
Back in June, when we were looking at the final Q1 GDP print, we discovered something very surprising: after the BEA had first reported that absent for Obamacare, Q1 GDP would have been negative in its first Q1 GDP report, subsequent GDP prints imploded as a result of what is now believed to be the polar vortex. But the real surprise was that the Obamacare boost was, in the final print, revised massively lower to actually reduce GDP!
This is how the unprecedented trimming of Obamacare's contribution to GDP looked like back then.
Of course, even back then we knew what this means: payback is coming, and all the BEA is looking for is the right quarter in which to insert the "GDP boost". This is what we said verbatim:
Don't worry thought: this is actually great news! Because the brilliant propaganda minds at the Dept of Commerce figured out something banks also realized with the stub "kitchen sink" quarter in November 2008. Namely, since Q1 is a total loss in GDP terms, let's just remove Obamacare spending as a contributor to Q1 GDP and just shove it in Q2.
Stated otherwise, some $40 billion in PCE that was supposed to boost Q1 GDP will now be added to Q2-Q4.
And now, we all await as the US department of truth says, with a straight face, that in Q2 the US GDP "grew" by over 5% (no really: you'll see).
Well, we were wrong: it wasn't Q2. It was Q3, albeit precisely in the Q2-Q4 interval we expected.
Fast forward to today when as every pundit is happy to report, the final estimate of Q3 GDP indeed rose by 5% (no really, just as we predicted), with a surge in personal consumption being the main driver of US growth in the June-September quarter. As noted before, between the second revision of the Q3 GDP number and its final print, Personal Consumption increased from 2.2% to 3.2% Q/Q, and ended up contributing 2.21% of the final 4.96% GDP amount, up from 1.51%.
So what did Americans supposedly spend so much more on compared to the previous revision released one month ago? Was it cars? Furnishings? Housing and Utilities? Recreational Goods and RVs? Or maybe nondurable goods and financial services?
Actually no. The answer, just as we predicted precisely 6 months ago is... well, just see for yourselves.
In short, two-thirds of the "boost" to final Q3 personal consumption came from, drumroll, the same Obamacare which initially was supposed to boost Q1 GDP until the "polar vortex" crashed the number so badly, the BEA decided to pull it completely and leave this "growth dry powder" for another quarter. That quarter was Q3.

I'm guessing that we will all get a taste of this crap real soon.
Merry Christmas you crusty ole #$)$(@@*
If this is true it is scary as heck.

They should take the mayor behind the station and beat the shit out of him and then go get Sharpton and do the same to him.
Congrats ACC!!!!!
