The problem is illegal aliens are much more likely not to speak English, and people who don’t speak English aren’t likely to be good credit risks.Barney Frank got that.
The return of “stagflation” is coming.
And buying GM is now subsidizing NAZI-ism. GM needs to buried already, along with anything else Nazis touch.
That is a good point, that government expenditures are included in GDP, and can cause an appearance of growth. It is the “stocks versus flows” issue. The government is appropriating non-governmental savings (through taxation, deferred debt service, and most likely future inflation) and spending it to enhance the appearance of healthy growth for political reasons.
Stagflation is my bet also.
When I downsized houses, I pulled out $200k @ 5% for 30 yrs.
Having had a 13% mortgage back in the early 80s, it was too good to turn down.
Well, there is a lot of O.S. emanating from the White House these days!

>> I generally wholeheartedly agree with you except for the part where you say Republicans are going to take back the house in 2010. You dont know that, nor can you make any predictions about late next year. <<
You’re right; I do not know that. Nor did I claim to know that. However, with Obama’s popularity at 59% (Rasmussen) to 65% (NBC), and massive numbers of Americans thinking things were getting better a couple months ago, and the media-hyped internal disarray of the GOP, the Republicans were still outpolling the Democrats in generic balloting. Given the premise of the article was that there would be a bad economy in 2010, I don’t think my assertion that there “probably” will be a Republican House is too controvertible, since I was careful not to speak in absolutes.
Another family which already got their reparations.
The "Debt as % of GDP" myth collapsed last fall, but some still cling to it.
Right on the mark!
This is where President Bush's "compassionate conservatism" was a collossal failure. Bush did cut taxes, but these tax cuts did not yeild the resultant economic growth that occured following the victories of Reagan and Gingrich. This is because he expanded or reinforced regulations. Spending was not mandated through the appropriations and government spending, but through regulatory mandates whose costs were difficult to quantify.
Please forgive the demonic imagery the producers inserted into this clip. The video makers must have heard about 'secret' Bohemian Grove rituals engaged in by the people in charge. Both political parties are corrupt to the bone:
