Priorities on Display
I'll say this about John McCain, he may be 72 years old, but he's not boring.
John McCain seems to have this weird out of date old fashioned idea idea that there is something out there that is more important than politics and your daily poll numbers. He actually thinks that this thing called "the country" is more important than politics. He actually thinks that making a sacrifice for the good of the country is a good idea! The poor deluded old fool...
Barack Obama seems to think that a debate on Foreign Policy is the most important thing that he can possibly do for the country right now, that people crave politics and hang on his every word.
What A Narcissist...
We stand on the edge, not of a recession but an outright depression. If companies cannot borrow capital to stay in business, they will go out of business. Once a certain number of companies go out of business, then there is simply no business to be had. Unless you are some sort of "frontier trapper" living out where you can catch your own food, you need capital to survive because "It takes money to make money". If you dont make money, then you are an expense and when things go bad, expenses get cut and that means you daddy-o. The only reason you got that cushy office job at "Consolidated Sprockets Unlimited" isnt because youre a "great guy", its because theres a market for sprockets and there is enough capital out there for other companies to buy sprockets from your company. If people want your sprockets but can't buy them, then your company doesnt sell sprockets. If it doesn sell sprockets, theres no money to pay for you and your cushy job and before you know it, you're out on your ass and "Consolidated Sprockets Unlimited" is out of business. See how that works? WALL STREET IS MAIN STREET! YOU HAMMERHEADED MORON SENATOR SCHUMER! I dont care how much money you have in the bank, it doesnt mean a thing if its not flowing around the economy. A pile of dollar bills is not money, its insulation. A pile of dollar bills that is invested in the economy is MONEY, or in other words, its CAPITAL! Money doesnt mean anything if there is nothing to buy. The flow of capital is the cornerstone of American economics and frankly, its the cornerstone of your freedom. Remember varifranks universal law of economics, "if you cant own property, then you are property. If there is no economic freedom to allow you to buy property, then you are only the property of the stete."
If you want someone to take care of all your economic decisions then move back home with your parents. I'm sure they kept your room just like you left it. If you dont like capitalism, then stop borrowing money for cars and houses and go live in a field with all the other hippies( And I'm talking right to you Senator Charles "I Hate mortgates" Schumer). Most people think it would be great to get back to nature, but a week of camping will usually break them of the habit. Take it from me kids, Poverty is not "fun". There is nothing good or noble about living in poverty. It sucks, if at all possible, avoid it.
I like capitalism, I like owning a house a car and having a job and having disposable income to do what I see fit with as I see fit. I kinda think that its a good thing to NOT BE STARVING TO DEATH BECAUSE I CAN ACTUALLY AFFORD TO EAT AND I CAN EAT WHATEVER THE HELL I WANT WHEN I WANT TO. Socialist economies are the ONLY places where famines occur. Period. You just think of that the next time you think " Golly, socialism would be great!"
How anyone over the age of 12 can vote for a leftist socialist with zero economic experience or so much as a drab of common street sense to be President of the United States is completely beyond my ability to comprehend. You would get more economic common sense if you talked about the 1980's "laffer curve" with a three legged tincan chomping billygoat with a lapshade on its head. The only thing socialists know about markets and economics is how to wreck them and make everyone equally poor.
We need to recapitalize this country, not nationalize the banks and take away your economic freedom. We need to cut the capital gains tax to ZERO and we need to do it NOW.
Oh, and while we are at it, we need to STOP GIVING MORTGAGES TO PEOPLE WHO CANT MEET THE CREDIT QUALIFICATIONS TO RENT AN APARTMENT!!!!

But none of that will happen. Will people like Musk and Bezos and Carmack and Bigelow succeed in opening up the pressure valve and letting us move into L-5 Walden Ponds? Or will we be crowded ever closer together, and fuse into a great big socialist contract?
