TARP funds should be restricted from reaching foreign institutions. No "bail out" should ever had happened in the first place...
It was not appropriate for the Obama Administration to force GM's CEO Rick Wagoner to resign. But that's what happens when government gets too much power. I wonder how much of a golden parachute he got?
The U.S. dollar should not be the world's reserve currency. But then neither should any fiat currency that isn't backed by tangible value especially working from a fractional reserve model. http://tinyurl.com/37txmd At the time the US dollar became a world reserve currency it was backed by gold, now it isn't.
Farmers should not grow genetically modified crops. I see no reason to, but ultimately I am not apposed to new technology.
U.S. federal deficits do affect long-term interest rates. And much more than that... http://tinyurl.com/37txmd
The U.S. government should not have given AIG more money.
Secretary Geithner's public-private partnership to buy up toxic assets will not help stabilize the financial system. That's just silly... They are called 'Toxic' for a reason...
Congress should not grant the Treasury Department authority to take over non-bank financial institutions that pose a systemic risk. Let them fail. There will be 50 others to take their place, unless of coarse the idea is for totalitarian control.
The proposed 90% tax on AIG bonuses is not constitutional. No, it is not.
The $787 billion stimulus bill does not adequately address small businesses. It doesn't address small business at all. Educate!! http://tinyurl.com/dlx5gf
The U.S. unemployment rate will reach double digits in 2009. The end game is in play
Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts will not boost the housing market. They are totally unrelated. http://tinyurl.com/dlx5gf
Japan makes the most reliable cars. By far
The Dow will go below 6,000 in 2009.
Governors should reject federal assistance allocated in the stimulus package. The "stimulus package" is anything but stimulus, it's a power grab.
Congress should not tax AIG bonuses. AIG should have been shut down.
The Obama Administration is more responsible than the Bush Administration for the U.S. stock market decline in 2009. The same banking administration has been plugging away at the entire monetary system since before 1913, Bush and Obama are simply cartoon characters playing their tiny role as social salesmen. http://montanasoundmoney.org/parksvideo.html
AIG should be forced to reveal the names of executives that received bonuses.
The New Deal prolonged the Great Depression.
The U.S. government should not try to recoup AIG bonuses.
The government should allow large banks to fail. Do a lousy job...get fired. Period. Then read up on economics OR watch a video you morons! lol http://montanasoundmoney.org/parksvideo.html
Anti-trust regulators should not allow the Google-Yahoo! search partnership.
Yahoo! should not have accepted Microsoft's bid.
All songs on iTunes should be the same price.
Obese travelers should not pay more for airline tickets. The airlines might do well to make seating more conducive for everyone that might fly.
Recessions are not necessary for sustained economic growth. Not if there is a stable base standard of value. Gold and silver always worked before.
Microsoft retail stores will not effectively compete with Apple.
Suze Orman does provide helpful financial advice. For some people...
Commercial airlines should serve peanuts.
The U.S. government should change the size or texture of its banknotes.
The $787 billion stimulus bill is not satisfactory. It is Economic Terrorism of the first order.
There should be a national airline passenger bill of rights. I think it is already covered under the current Bill Of Rights... Though you sure wouldn't know it.
I support neither.
Hurricane insurance should include water damage. I sure wouldn't buy it if it didn't! Duuuuuuuuuu!!
China's ascent to superpower status will be largely peaceful. China along with the US will attempt to suppress the human spirit in the NWO's fight for total global control.
Facebook is worth the $15 billion valuation implied by Microsoft's investment.
The Glass-Steagall Act should not be reinstated. Giving Government any control over banks at this time would not be wise. There is a much simpler solution: Here. http://www.themoneymasters.com/mra.htm
Air travel is not safer since 9-11. Much less safe and has been turned into a 3rd world catastrophe.
Cell phone use should be permitted in-flight. I find it somewhat unfair that they will allow you to pay for the phone on the seat in front of you, but you can't use your own phone at a much lower rate because of potential interference?. It's all about money.
Employee wellness initiatives are effective.
