They aren't using real numbers, they use bistromath. Sheesh, doesn't anyone
still the
hitchhikers guide anymore? I bought a paperback including all five parts of the
trilogy
for a client. Set me back $18.95 US plus sales tax.
We wouldn't give "them" social security (as all of it, as in 15% of all the
payrolls in
the country, forever) so, on their way out the door, they are trying to make off
with the
treasury.
As they say on the south side, vote early, vote often!
Captain Morgan and coke? With a lime? Anyone?

HAROM
I remember when that happened and thinking "What the hell? Did we learn
nothing from the Great Depression?"
The removal of those post crash restrictions again exposed the banking
system to catastrophic risks from any speculative market. At the time, I
really thought it would be the stock market that would crap out the banks
again. At this point, I suppose stocks could only make things worse. Depends
on whether or not a huge October dip comes about, and how much leverage the
banks are covering this time.
Gotta get the savings system to manage risk better once again, or we are
gonna be screwed yet again when the next RMA market crashes.
