Can't argue with that.
I just want to know why when GOP representatives are on TV that they don't give more history about how this mess came about. Say it loud, say it proud, the democrats vetoed reform in 2003 and took money from lobbyists. They are like tamed pigs in the trough. In everything they say replace "free market" or "corporation" with Jew and government with Reich and the braying, stirred-up public as the dupes at a Nuremberg rally and see the parallels. They instigated this crisis. They now want to scapegoat. There is a leftwing conspiracy and non-Americans have to go routing around for the truth. The news is all one-sided. It's the usual US bashing, ungrateful, bailed out children carping at the grown-ups. Bite the hand that feeds. Goodnight. Sleep well. -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Fink [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Right now we have inflation running at approximately 10% annual rate and savings accounts paying around 1 1/2% for a net loss of 8 1/2%. On top of that we must pay income tax on the 1 1/2%. Part of Obama's plan to balance the budget is to subject that 1 1/2% to social security payments as well! It is part of his plan to redistribute the wealth. Inflation is a tax, and it loots the savers. The stock market is too scary to mess with. I-bonds are paying 0% interest right now, but even at that, they might be the best investment out there. The majority of people endeavor to conduct their lives in such a manner so as not to be a burden to others. They are the targets of this redistribution. Some poor people seek jobs while others milk the system. If the job creators are plundered by the government, where will the jobs come from? When the haves are reduced to havenots, we will all be losers. We cannot advance the economy by punishing the hard working successful. Jeff
