Your worst enemy.....

I guess I am an explosive bubble, then.

My fart bubble is pretty explosive and dangerous...

Education and Healthcare

Don't expect the costs of either to go down while the gov't continues to subsidize both.

When he focused on the "common good, it became quickly apparent that capitalism in general has no sense of ethics or conscience. And probably its greatest weakness is its absolute inability to process the finiteness of resources and the mathematical impossibility of maintaining rapid growth in physical output."

This we call the Myth of Perpetual Growth, the pseudo-scientific justification for modern capitalism.

Grantham concludes that capitalism's flaws are so deadly that while it does "a thousand things better than other systems," it fails in those three crucial areas. And "unfortunately for us all, even a single one of these failings may bring capitalism down and us with it."

Get it? Capitalism is committing suicide and destroying America too.



Approves.

Let's see:

Barrack Hussein Obama, President of the United States is a born in the skin and bone Kenyan Neo-Marxist. Check.

Billionaires Warren Buffett and George Soros turned Neo-Marxists by their billions. Check.

China, India, Russia and Europe all gone Commie. Check.

Jeremy Grantham, founder of a $95 billion dollar GMO firm turned Neo-Marxist. Check.

Nobel Prize Winner Paul Krugman turned Neo-Marxist. Check.

Al Gore, a chubby commie environmentalist doom sayer. Check.

Yep, Marx has finally and completely been vindicated. He said it was the most advanced members of the bourgeoisie in the most advanced nations that would bring on socialism, and now the GOP is proving him right every damn day, whereas history itself was somewhat recalcitrant until recently.

Bite my shiney metal medicare-cushioned ass, comrades!

Join us in the Communist Paradise for Re-Nedification. It's blisssssss!

Or else another business cycle crisis is just driving the loonies further around the bin.

Fox decides and I deride.

The solution to your health care bubble.

Healthcare Lobbyist soup.

Take a large stone, fill a stadium with water and bring to boil. Add stone.

Remove fat and bones from 3,300 healthcare lobbysits, set aside for the dogs and kittehs. (125 pounds dressed weight each)

Throw healthcare lobbyists into boiling water. Truck in root vegetables such as cabbage, carrots, onions, potatoes, etc. No need to wash them. There's plenty of water in the stadium. Boil for one hour. Turn down to a simmer (this may take a few days). When water reaches a simmer, serve.

Alternative recipe: Corporations are not persons. Only a citizen who is a person can donate money to a political campaign or pay for advertising for or against a party, candidate, or political position. Change the laws, not the scoundrels who write and impose them. Limit donations to a maximum of say, a total of $5,000 per election, divided between parties and candidates.

I'm thinking of changing careers. 'Harbinger of Doom' seems to be big these days. If idiots like this can get paid, I figger I can spin up a few whoppers and get my cut.

10. Capitalism Bubble

Should be changed to, "Mercantilism Bubble." Capitalism has been dead (to the extent that it ever existed), pretty much every place on Earth, for the last 100 years.

jso2897: You're going to be disappointed when California is still here, and still a donor state long after the red-state shiatholes have "won" their race to the bottom.

You know how I can tell when someone has no clue about how economies function? When their debate is limited to catch-phrases and slogans, like "race to the bottom."

You know how I know when someone has no clue about how economies work? When their predictions repeatedly fail to come true. I can toss generalities around with the best of them, my friend. As can you, as well.

Good point. I was saying that real estate was due for a correction in the early 2000s. By the peak of the bubble, I was saying that the correction was going to have a major impact on the economy and that the only safe haven for money was in gold/silver (I also put my money where my mouth is and didn't lose a dime when the market crashed). My predictions now are that all the "stimulus" is just creating more bubbles: the stock market WILL crash, Social Security and Medicare will go bankrupt (and sooner that they predict), unemployment WILL go thru the roof, the federal government will have to choose between massive inflation and default (they will pick inflation), gold and silver will still be safe havens, and we're looking at several "lost decades."
