Where is the US economy headed?

Can you provide evidence in support of the conclusions of the author of the hit piece we were discussing?

I can show you video after video from a few years ago what the employees had to say. I am curious what you have to say though.

So far I see very little reasoning and even less logic in your posts or offered arguments

What's the scientific difference between a vulture and a diner in a posh restaurant with a steak?

Is any capitalism not vulture capitalism?

Are you relying on emotive language to influence the under 5s?

Do you really think that asking how my biofuel equation relates to economics is an answer to the point? Really?

So far I see very little reasoning and even less logic in your posts or offered arguments. Perhaps you should consider an alternate username here. How about "thoughtless prejudgment" ??

A vulture eats carrion, preferring rotting meat to fresh. A diner in a restaurant orders fresh, and expects fresh.

Purist capitalism is unregulated gambling. Regulated capitalism benefits more people than just the investment capitalist.

Are you attempting to intimidate a polite poster on this board?

Do you really think that your "biofuel equation" was anything more than a dodgy attempt at an answer in the first place?

Restaurant meat has been "hung". i.e. rotted.

Regulated capitalism is only pretend capitalism.

No. rl was by using the word "vulture" to describe Mr Romney and the millions who will vote for him. That's intimidation.

Not at all. The natural nutrient in the soil has long gone. One of the reasons for the push west was to find virgin soil, waste it and push further west. A free ride as long as there is more west to push into.

The quote rl praised was bullying. rl should apologise for posting partisan simplistic attacks on Mr Romney.

Who is the man behind the curtain? We will never know

Unfortunately, from the response at the convention, all those conservatives never do a fact check or challenge the lies that are told to the world.

Family values? Where?

I've seen a few names put forward on US News Channels.

I don't think Mr Romney will be elected.

Just for you GOBe1



Mitt Romney, it turns out, is the perfect frontman for Wall Street's greed revolution. He's not a two-bit, shifty-eyed huckster like Lloyd Blankfein. He's not a sighing, eye-rolling, arrogant jerkwad like Jamie Dimon. But Mitt believes the same things those guys believe: He's been right with them on the front lines of the financialization revolution, a decades-long campaign in which the old, simple, let's-make-stuff-and-sell-it manufacturing economy was replaced with a new, highly complex, let's-take-stuff-and-trash-it financial economy. Instead of cars and airplanes, we built swaps, CDOs and other toxic financial products. Instead of building new companies from the ground up, we took out massive bank loans and used them to acquire existing firms, liquidating every asset in sight and leaving the target companies holding the note. The new borrow-and-conquer economy was morally sanctified by an almost religious faith in the grossly euphemistic concept of "creative destruction," and amounted to a total abdication of collective responsibility by America's rich, whose new thing was making assloads of money in ever-shorter campaigns of economic conquest, sending the proceeds offshore, and shrugging as the great towns and factories their parents and grandparents built were shuttered and boarded up, crushed by a true prairie fire of debt.

As a related matter the debt crisis we and the rest of the world are facing has much more to do with public (i.e. government) debt than it does the debt of corporations.
