"Overnight, we have learned that multiple Asian central banks intervened to prevent rapid appreciation of their own currencies against the US Dollar. Could we be witnessing the beginning of a currency crisis, or is this simply more water under the bridge? Why is this not front page news?	Project Mayhem",
"I can tell you why this is not front page news. News management by the master of all, supreme leader and caudillo of the US. The public is being transfixed by left hand of healthcare, only to be whacked from behind the head with a sandbag in the right hand.	 Printfaster",
"The Fed will continue doing everything in its power to kill the dollar. While it is possible to park assets on Fed balance sheets indefinitely, the US economy must increase exports to utilize its 10-15% industrial overcapacity, and they need the comparative advantage of a cheap dollar to realize that goal. If the Fed fails in its attempt to kill the dollar, there will likely be no recovery.	Sancho Ponzi",
"It's no accident that as (1) government shirks fiscal responsibility and expands its footprint upon the economy (2) perception grows that the US government views the constitution and contract law as an inconvenience and (3) politics becomes increasingly partisan and divisive, the de facto reserve currency of the world....the fiat dollar.... is depreciating. It's all tied together.	CautiousInvestor",
"For, despite a great election victory, Mr. Obama, it becomes ever clearer, knows little about Americans. He knows the crowds - he is at home with those. He is a stranger to the country's heart and character..	Dorothy Rabinowitz",
"The stimulus money isn't working. The economy needs a production stimulus not a consumer stimulus. There will be no recovery until we become a producing economy again rather than a consuming economy.	Unknown",
"The MSM is missing the plain truth that is right in front of their face. Obama’s problem is not one of not conveying his message clearly enough in selling his health care agenda. Obama’s problem is that what he's trying to sell is a crap sandwich, and the people can see it.	highlander_UW",
"How often are we seeing news from other countries? Hardly any. How about what’s happening in the rest of the states next to you? Or across the country? People are starved for news because we are not getting it. we get the same fluff stories over and over and over, every day.	 Freddd",
"People are starting to figure out the truth about obamacare: it will bankrupt the nation, ration care to an unimaginable degree, and will have the government control and have the final say about our lives.	 Innovative",
"The consumption economy fueled by credit expansion will not continue, it will end as any Ponzi scheme ends.	griswold3",
"What puts me off is the condescension and elitism from the messengers. They imply they know what's best, because they are smarter and more-cultured. Then, when you question the reasoning, you are confronted by links to blogs or non-profit websites listing facts and figures in a way that adds to the condescension. Given this, my instinct is to treat the message with suspicion. What is the ulterior motive? Is this new idea really about sustainability? Or another grant for non-profits, unions, lawyers, or more 100+K/yr salaried fat cats?	candl",
"You can't change someones mind, you can only change the ideas that make up their mind. The person needs to change their own mind. While the right works at a subliminal level to reinforce 'thunks' the left has to come up with ways to counter the 'thunks' with coherent 'thoughts'. Without out changing the ideas in the mind, the 'thunks' win out.	batrhyme",
"The progressives want to run the printing presses to pay for the things they always wished they had while the conservatives were in office. But now is not the time. The country is broke. You could put it down to bad timing, but it's time to deal with economic reality and not philosophical concepts.	zigster38",
"That is about to change... even the MSM can’t keep up the charade for much longer... His antics, much less his policies that are causing universal protests can NOT be ignored much longer - even by the stupid MSM.	Deagle",
"This is all a setup. AARP is alligning lock-step with the administration in order to become the next FANNIE-MAE of the health-insurance industry. They want to become the administrators of the government insurance program (ie 'single-payer') and have their dachas and other 'govment' bennies.	 downtownconservative",
"So now we understand why AARP is shilling for legislation which the president promises will cut billions of dollars from Medicare. The AARP president, a political supporter of the president, is putting the president's interests before those of seniors.	 Godwin1",
"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposi [Sorry Abe, you’ve reached your 140 character limit]	angkor",
"Hopey-Changey is devolving into malaise.	Unknown",
"FOLKS, THE DOLLARS ARE A RELATIVELY UNIMPORTANT, INDEED, MINOR ISSUE HERE: THE ISSUE IS GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER OF A PRIVATE FUNCTION AND DESTRUCTION OF LIBERTY, NOT TO MENTION THE BEST HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IN THE WORLD.	 LS",
"More government spending, more government borrowing, more government money printing, more government tax increases, more anti business anti capitalism anti success anti profitability all add up to one thing: Anti Americanism.	 Ev Reeman",
"The truth is simple. Lies are hard to explain. Obamacare is a power grab that will put us in need of more ‘constituent services’ and make some people grateful to Washington for whatever we do get. He can’t say that. He has to explain around that. That’s why his arguments are backfiring.	MontaniSemperLiberi",
"Has anyone considered the idea that if the government gets it's claws into any form of healthcare, the next step will be to start telling us. 'Well, if you expect us to pay for your healthcare when your ill, then, we should be able to tell you how to live your life when your not ill in order to insure that you remain healthy'. And there in lies the means by which all of these theives will make their fortune.	.Bill O",
"History mentions the 'Great Depression'. It will also have something to tell us about the 'Obama Depression' which will be the more detrimental to the US, of the two.	353FMG",
"What needs to be emphasized is that Bush tacked a $2T deficit on top of $7T of debt inherited from Clinton, for a total of $9T of debt when he left office. Ogabe is about to add a $9T deficit on top of the $9T in debt he inherited, for a total of $18T of debt when he leaves office.	Zhang Fei",
"To force stimulus upon an economy unable to absorb it, is to encourage the cruelest tax of all, inflation, which falls on the rich and the poor, the strong and the infirm, the diligent and the indulgent, all alike and in almost proportionate weight upon everybody.	alloysteel",
"I keep wanting to believe that what he is doing is good for OUR! country but his actions speak louder than his words and his actions are not good! His supporters are lying about everything they are trying to push through. I can't believe what is happening right before our eyes. The people of this country were fooled and duped by his words. WAKE UP AMERICA!	 Barry",
"There seems to be no interest in the fundamentals. Unemployment is still rising, the real number is now approx 17%, debt is greater than when the recession started, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have now begun issuing mortages up to 125% of value, shipping is down, production is down, the Fed has been buying US treasuries to the tune of 47% of issue, and wholesale prices have dropped almost 7% in the last year (deflation?).Who’s minding the store?!?	 thegunmaker",
"Don't be surprised if this administration and the liberal leadership in congress decide on a kamikaze move to just ram everything through because it may be another 80 years before they have a majority like this again. - Does the wounded animal favor their survival or their cause more?	 Erik",
"My husband saw a commercial in which it was stated that low-income peoples can now apply and get a government backed cellphone!! I'm sorry if this ruffles any feathers, but that is absolutely ridiculous in my opinion! If you want/need a cell phone get a job and pay for it like everyone else. I am all for helping people out when they are in need, but is a cell phone a genuine NEED??	jantim1990",
"WHY IS IT......IF YOU CROSS THE NORTH KOREAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET 12 YEARS HARD LABOR..... IF YOU CROSS THE US BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET A DRIVERS LICENSE, SOCIAL SECURITY CARD, FREE HEALTH CARE, and ACORN counts you in the next census and enables you to vote.	 Grampa Dave",
