    Should Weiner Resign

    So, Weiner is going to betray his wife, but do right by you as your representative? I won't do right by my own wife, but I will do right by you. Sure. I am no choir boy but what kind of douche bag takes a picture of his junk and sends it to somebody? When did that become excusable behavior...

    Michigan Man Still Receives Food Stamps After Winning $2 Million Jackpot

    You don't argue the merits of something by emphasizing it is the lesser of two evils. One does not ignore one's teenage daughter's proclivity for sleeping around because her brother is a heroine addict. Furthermore, most of the zealots that argue that food stamps should be eliminated don't...

    Michigan Man Still Receives Food Stamps After Winning $2 Million Jackpot

    I believe most stats show poor people to be significantly more obese than non-poor people. Perhaps cutting the food stamp program would actually be beneficial to their overall health. Particularly since it would morally reprehensible to take their cell phones, satellite dishes and computers...

    Buying a new car

    Kicky, This is totally out of the box. I just visited my Dad who for some odd reason bought a Toyota Sienna van. He claimed his girlfriend has too many shoes that they haul back and forth to Florida. Anyways, we went on about a 20 minute drive to a restaurant. I sat in the back in my own...

    A question for the Econ guys on the board.......

    It is over for silver. It will be mid double digits in a few years. That is a multi-decade double top. Everybody who bought SLV or physical silver in the last year is going to have zero returns over the next decade. Classic herding behavior.

    A question for the Econ guys on the board.......

    Franklin, I was trying to essentially say what you did above in that Keynes, Friedman, and Hayek would agree much more than your average politically motivated econ blogger or average partisan citizen. Kicky hit a home run when he said Keynes is/has been one sided. Those that are rigid...

    A question for the Econ guys on the board.......

    Of course, not to be last to the party. Barron's online, in two consecutive days has recommended astute investors buy two stocks. Both have gone up about 600% since the March bottom. Timely advice.

    A question for the Econ guys on the board.......

    I find this time period in economic history, if viewed objectively, as laying waste to most of the experts and their theories. Once the public gets their butts handed to them when the precious metals roll over and the dollar rebounds, logical people should put the last shovel of dirt on the...
