Since domestically produced goods don't generate as much revenue for the government as imported goods that are heavily taxed, the debt problem is exacerbated because the debt is still there but you don't have the money to pay it off that you thought you were going to have when you introduced the tariff. The only real solution to the debt and trade imbalance is to shut China out from US debt markets completely. As the debt declines over time as older debts get repaid, the trade imbalance also declines by an equal amount until equilibrium is reached where we don't owe them anything and they don't sell us anything. It will be a win-win for Americans because the debt will be retired and Americans will be working again when all those Chinese jobs come flooding back to our shores. It's bad for China because they will end up with massive unemployment and civil unrest but that's not our problem to deal with, it's theirs.

The Fed, in its QE role, as well as its captive “too big to fail” banks (JPM, WF, BofA, Citi) are now buying massive amounts of US treasuries." So if you're a depositor or investor in one of these banks, get ready to to be screwed when the government can no longer afford to pay off the bonds these banks hold and they are forced to take a haircut on them. It's your money they use to buy these bonds, so they don't care.

It's not fair that citizens in countries with more responsible economic models should have to pay for the excesses and indiscretions of less responsible countries. The citizens of the responsible countries have no choice in the matter, either. If they don't bail them out then the value of the Euro collapses and they lose most of their buying power. So they're damned if they do and damned if they don't. Either way, they're going to get screwed.

There is a reason why we don't share our technology with rogue states, it's because much of that technology can be used in military applications and we don't want them copying it.

They will be doing themselves a bigger favor by not voting for it. Obama clearly still does not get it. America does not want Canadian style socialized medicine that is so bad that their own leaders are coming here for life saving surgery that they can't get at home. He has this assumption that we are just too stupid to get it so he is going to force it down our throats thinking we will like it once we have it like little children refusing to eat their broccolli.

The tax codes will have changed again by then I'm sure and you'll be ineligible to get it back.

The Mayo clinic is already starting to refuse to accept Medicare as payment for some of their services and that is only going to continue. Hospitals nationwide will look to the Mayo clinic as the model to emulate. You can't expect a hospital to run in the red year after year because the government refuses to cover the cost of providing service. Either the hospitals stop providing care at their own expense or they go under and then what happens to the rest of us?

They should burn that Bible. It's been desecrated. What does a Bible mean to a homosexual anyway? How can we trust them keep an oath sworn on a book they don't even believe in? She should have been sworn in on a copy of Heather Has Two Mommies.

If they are comparable in size, number of rooms, etc and are located in comparable areas then they should be valued equally. In my area we had two new houses side by side that a developer was trying to sell for 750k for a long time when exisiting homes in the area of similar size were only going for 350k. Needless to say both houses were sold at a distress sale when the developer could no longer afford to keep them on his books. They eventually ended up going for a price comparable to those in the surrounding area like they should have been priced all along. Just because a house is new doesn't mean the developer should be able to charge more for it.

I created my name from my own name and the Snowman (Jerry Reed). The scene near the end where Jerry passes the Bandit and clears the road ahead for him to finish the beer run is one of the most underrated scenes in the movie. Everyone loves the scenes featuring Burt and Sally or the ones featuring Jackie Gleason but the scenes with Jerry Reed and Fred have always been my favorites.

If Rick Warren cannot manage his church finances then he should close the doors. He is not too big to fail.
