I find it is funny that a man who thinks about his answers before he speaks instead of speaking the practiced rhetoric is considered ingenuine at some level. well I can see we are dealing with a bush fan..(that would be goerge).. sure hope your happy with the way geogre spoke in public. look back...does not look like he spoke well or did anything to stop the mess we are in. I guess we are so used to the smooth easiness of false rhetoric that we can't appreciate a real thought spoken in earnest, huh? I think we humans can some times be so suspicious of someone we don't particularly like we can't recognize when someone is being genuine. It's often not easy to let go of that to allow ourselves to hear. I agree. It's not thinking about the answer though - it's thinking about the wording. Any topic that he gives a real answer to is normally quick. When he does his stumbling "uh, uh" thing, the answer that follows normally is not direct and it is very thought out as to not tie himself down to anything of controversy. That is not what I see. Usually a coverup is well planned out and the answers are robotic. I never said coverup - I said tying himself down. Case in point: my thread. He went on and on about the 95% tax cut all through the campaign. He went on about it as the stimulus was written. Now, when confronted in a media conference whether or not he'll sign the budget if it lacks the cornerstone of his economic policy, he stumbles and goes on about the other items in the budget he pushed for, effectively dodging the question. The reporter calls him on it and he stumbles again. he's a great public speaker so long as his tele is with him or it's his robotic talking points. once he's on the spot, he loses all composure and stumbles just as bad as bush. That is not true. I have watched for the deception and it is not there. Now Bush had all his stuff planned and robotic. He messed up a few times and they fixed him real quick because he was going to be in jail if he talked on his own. so you think the fact he never answered the actual question being completely open and honest? There's no deception in the fact that he is leaving a loophole for his own tax cuts that he campaigned on for 20 months to be repealed? Ironically, I'm sure the other things he listed in his "answer" are likely the reason he cannot keep the tax cuts. Can't have your cake and eat it too. He answered the best he could. Not all answers are going to make everyone happy. you didn't answer the question. Is it right for him to campaign for so long on these tax breaks and when asked if he'd sign a bill that did not include them (twice) not answer no? one word is all i need unless you say yes... then I'd like a logical reason. I was satisfied with his answers. He is going to do just fine. you still didn't answer it. Yes I did. you stated that you were satisfied with his answer, not whether it is right or wrong. am i to assume that you are ok with him going back on his economic cornerstone? if so, why is it ok? When did he say he was going back on it? allow me to re-word that he would not stand 100% behind his economic cornerstone. |

i live check to check as well. as soon as I earn it...it's spent. Then you have nothing to worry about. In other words, you barely give back to the society what you require for your own survival. There is nothing wrong with it. A majority of people would fall in this category. There is no presumed right or wrong about it. The message is for those who have earned the credit for their contributions, that they haven't spent yet. This credit is going to be taken by force, unless it is out of reach of communist Obama, but the time window is closing as Obama is closing the borders. |

I'm about to make breakfast... would you like some eggs benedict, Arnold? |

This is a quotation of an article from those who knew and warned about this unfolding crisis. Do not underestimate the warning. We are patriots. We have proudly served in our country's military, have extended a helping hand to its public sector, and have plowed our entrepreneurial enterprise into its once fertile soil. We love America, but these days, America does not love us back. It takes without giving and squelches free enterprise. These days, America is no longer the land of the free, especially when it comes to the market. Just look at the headlines, seemingly ripped from the pages of Atlas Shrugged: Unconscionably large bank bailouts. Punishing regulations and tax requirements. An arctic business climate. Government money bombs. Riots and protests. Slowing trade. Protectionist rhetoric. Demonized corporate executives. Even pirates hijacking cargo ships. One can guess what will happen next. We predict the next several years will usher in larger, more obtrusive governments, resulting in a decline of personal liberty and financial privacy. The world will become increasingly polarized between two groups: those who consider government intervention a great idea, and the rest of us who happen to be sane. As such, you can bet your last falling dollar on some absolute certainties: bank nationalization is a given, at least de facto if not de jure; taxes are going up on those of us with any money left; the Fed’s money blitzkriegs will spark a blaze of inflation; and financial privacy will be a thing of the past in the United States. The obvious and necessary solution is to position one’s finances outside of the United States, and to do so now, while the narrow and finite window of opportunity is still open. To be clear, evading (or even avoiding) taxes at this point is not a wise move, given the size and scope of the ever-growing IRS. But there are significant advantages to expatriating your capital now: For starters, you will actually have control of your own money. Yes, in certain instances you’ll be obliged to tell the IRS exactly where it is and what you’re doing with it, but no government agency will have the authority to reach into your overseas pocket and freeze or expropriate (read: steal) on a whim just so Team Obama can give it away to pay for someone else’s McMansion. Plus, when exchange controls are implemented and Americans are forbidden from wiring money overseas, your capital will already be secured in another jurisdiction, where you will be free to do what you want with it. Secondly, you will no longer have to assume the risk of insolvent banks or go through the hassle of petitioning the government to get your FDIC insurance bailout. Many overseas banks are far better capitalized than those in the United States, and some of them are in jurisdictions with constitutionally protected banking privacy. Lastly, and probably most importantly, moving money overseas gives you a last chance at diversifying out of the dollar, which, in a very short period of time, will barely be worth the paper on which it's printed. Bank and Brokerage Accounts Opening a foreign bank or brokerage account is easier said than done; the United States government severely restricts where and under what terms you can open a bank account, invest in a fund, or engage in other economic activities that facilitate the protection of and access to your assets. As the signatory on an overseas account, you are required by law to inform the federal government on Treasury form TDF 90.22 by the end of June each year. Ostensibly, this has been done in the name of fighting money laundering, but it has the effect of severely restricting your freedom of financial movement. Many foreign banks simply won’t work with you… don’t worry, it’s nothing personal. Uncle Sam has been beating them down since the Reagan years, and between Qualified Intermediary rules, tax treaties, and the USA PATRIOT Act, Sammy gives himself a lot of regulation to bury the opposition with. There are some jurisdictions that are still excellent banking centers; Switzerland may have rolled over, but Panama, Uruguay, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates have thus far ignored the call for “greater transparency” (read: government access to private finance). Some individual banks, like Credicorp and Global Bank in Panama, or Banco Itau in Uruguay will not work with U.S. citizens anymore, but there is still opportunity with the hundreds of remaining banks in these jurisdictions. Similarly, opening a foreign brokerage account is a shrewd move, not only to move your money overseas but also to have greater access to financial markets. Remember when world markets tanked on Martin Luther King Day 2008? If you were a U.S.-based investor and wanted to sell, sell, sell, you had to wait a full 24 hours until the markets opened after the holiday on Tuesday morning. If you had been invested with global depository shares through a foreign brokerage, you could have saved yourself several points and gotten out in time. We would suggest looking at Verdmont Capital and PanaAmerican Capital in Panama, and Saxo Bank in Denmark. Bullion Storage If you have gold, it would be highly beneficial to get it out of the U.S. – stat. If you do keep it in the U.S., your only truly reliable and private option is to store it yourself in a safe that you bury in your backyard. Otherwise, move it out of the U.S. now before Team Obama pulls an FDR and takes your gold from you. At the moment, gold is not considered a monetary instrument by the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, so there is no legal requirement to declare your bullion upon leaving the United States. Some countries, like Taiwan and Uruguay, require you to declare gold in excess of a certain value to customs officials upon entry. We recommend Panama, Austria, Switzerland, and the United Arab Emirates as locations to store bullion; one particular favorite is a location called Das Safe (www.dassafe.com) in Vienna where anonymous safes start at 400 euro/year. Real Estate It might sound counterintuitive after the subprime debacle, but real estate is a sound option for moving money outside of the United States; there are zero reporting requirements. It's your business where you own property, and (so far) no one else's. You can purchase property in a private way by setting up a corporate structure to hold the assets so that they're not in your name (Panama is an excellent jurisdiction to set this up), and although there are many places with depressed real estate markets, there are also many with good growth potential: in Latin America, we would recommend Panama, Colombia, Uruguay, and Chile. In Europe: Slovakia, Albania, and Poland. In the rest of the world: Lebanon, Hainan Island (China), the Philippines, Cambodia, and New Zealand. Time is of the essence – start looking for your safe haven now. |

It was kind of funny. He talked about mortgages being more affordable. The homeowner who lost his house because of losing his job couldn't afford to buy back his house even if the home was free. There was nothing funny about it. He was talking very seriously. He talked about making jobs. Yep, for the Illegal. What, is he a Magician and can pull jobs out of thin air? The stimulus money is already planned for St. Louis. Jobs are coming. A.I.G. got money way before jan 21 st AIG will handle the disbursal. |
