We will have an Argentina-style economic collapse. Also, it is time for our "Caesar". You read it here first.

How ironic. Voters in Indiana put in some new Democrats and the first thing they're going to be asked to do is gut Eli Lilly and other major pharmaceutical and medical firms which are now the major underpinning of the state economy.

Will they do it, or will they cut their guts out?

Bet they go along with the Nancy woman and screw the people.

How did old drum-skin face Pelosi make her millions? Was it through a big business or was it through union donations?

She owns a Napa valley vineyard, and has a stake in a hotel chain. She's worth over $55 million dollars, the richest Speaker ever.

Efforts to curb military spending

In the middle of the War on Terror.. .Oh thats right they only blow themselves up we can afford some casualties here right... I mean its just so expensive to keep our military machine in top notch shape....

Democrats have no clue what it takes to protect this country. God forbid we take some money from the studies of the Reproductive habits of the African Green Tree Frogs... No we have to cut military spending...

Is there a bigger business than government employment?

One way Democrats can assert themselves is by spoiling the prospects for renewal of President Bush's tax cuts, said Kevin Hassett, the director of economic policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute and an adviser to President Bush's 2004 re-election campaign.

I talk to people at work and they don't even know they are paying less taxes to the feds. They all think the tax cuts went to the rich. When I ask them their effective tax rate and whether it's gone up or down over the last three years they give me this stupid look.

...that would put more money in the pockets of ordinary citizens and government

Well, that statement is half right.

Nope. Shorting stocks is too risky. No stock advice or commentary. Watch what happens to the economy. Democrats are Socialists to the core. Anyone who has supported them is going to get the kind of government they deserve. They can NOT complain now about what happens. They chose it.

Well, there you go. She's willing to put herself out of business to further the socialist agenda.

Ha!!! I kid myself. Of course she will be exempt from her own scrutiny.

You know the first 100 hours and she gets the bill for implementing the GIGANTIC GOVERNMNET bureaucracy that was recommended by the 911 commission... Bush did do a lot of good things after 911... Pelosi and Dems ran on the idea that he didn't do anything so they intend to undo what was done and create a tax payers nightmare in form of multi-trillion $ agency... damn I'm about to get a better paying government job ... why should I be mad...Too bad if flys in the way of my small government conservative views... Jeez...

She only hires non-union labor. Nancy gets her bucks by hiring illegal aliens and shorting their pay.

There's a whiff of more than a little bit of fascist intrigue about her too.

No wonder the Democrats are attracted to her.
