I apologize and realize I did jump to conclusions Navy 1960. Seeing as we already do have socialized healthcare (ie. Medicare, Medicaid), and these have with the aging population and growing reliance on social assistance (for reasons I'm sure we can debate later) gotten to a point where they...

Right. As I suggested before, bigger picture. Maybe the Federal Reserve can hike up the interest rates a little and make some jobs that pay more than $7.50 an hour. Maybe if they hike up interest rates it will stop these giant banks from having a mortgage monopoly. Maybe it will even get the...

I have a BA in History and Political Science from Syracuse University. You will teach me nothing but your own views on history, as we all have them. I am not blown away by your extensive knowledge of the Federalist Papers or the Constitution and generally do not agree with your view of the...

Yes your high horse. Do not tell me I need to study economics when I can walk out of my front door and see what is happening. The Fed did not destroy our economy. If you can somehow explain to me how the Fed, all by itself, is destroying our economy I will say you deserve your high horse and I...

Nonsense? Okay Captain economy. Explain why the city I live in went from a burgeoning metropolis of 200,000 to a shit hole with less than 50,000 in 20 years. I don't need to understand economics to know we no longer make anything in this country. We have gone from being producers to being...

HA! I'm done with this thread. It's the Fed's fault? Not the last 30 years of migrating jobs or the total obliteration of the middle class!? This is not worth my time. Btw, "The Jungle" may be fiction, but it is one of the main reasons you don't have shit in your food!

Not what I said. I said regulation. You have got to be kidding.

Yeah, problem is the political pimps in Washington (lobbyists) are ***** slapping the whores. This fight isn't about socialism, it's about what the people want. That's why we elect the "whores" as you say. Unfortunately, the people do not get what they want because the pimps run the show. We...

Ha! Yeah maybe your right (sarcasm). But doesn't it concern you that the "free market" you love so much has left us with an economy that HAS to be saved by the government. Government ownership=BAD IDEA. Government regulation=GOOD IDEA. Maybe when China owns the ENTIRE country, or when we are...

You realize you are quoting a bunch of dudes who wore wigs and have been dead for 200 years, right? They also gave us the ability to amend the constitution, which goes to show they knew things might CHANGE. Just the fact you continue to quote them leads me to believe you don't have the...

Good.
