Creating belief alone can produce positive effects, but most likely temporary ones.

If you will, read the article. This report can be seen all over the interwebs, so if you don't like the source, you can find the same information elsewhere. http://money.cnn.com/2010/01/29/news/economy/gdp/index.htm?hpt=T2 We're certainly not out of the water yet and there continues to...

It's not my fault that you cannot interpret beyond the literal. A proclivity towards understanding figurative language is a vital necessity, Cracker. And you still didn't respond to the numbers. Did you even look at the site? We're talking billions of dollars being thrown at the...

They didn't force them to. They opened the doors, but the corporations saw the potential profit and jumped at the bit. It was government deregulation that caused this mess, so now they're regulating. We'll see what happens...

The TEA party is funded by huge corporations. Period. "Despite attempts to make the “movement” appear organic, the principle organizers of the local events are actually the lobbyist-run think tanks Americans for Prosperity and Freedom Works. The two groups are heavily staffed and well...

Perhaps. What I don't understand is how people cannot see the danger of conglomerate corporations. I healthy private sector with thriving small business is ideal. Government can interrupt this ideal process, but big business can as well. They become so huge and powerful, making and...

So the failing banks (big business) was caused by government? Really? The way I see it, the banks fucked up and the government responded.

They most likely are. I agree. I don't like the government and I don't like big business. They're one and the same.

A matter of perspective.....:-P

Palin doesn't bother me one bit. She's stupid, but that makes her a better pick than most. As for the TEAbaggers, they're supported by big business, so I won't join them. I do wish we had more people like Palin to shake things up. In an ideal world, WWE wrestlers would be the only candidates...

Excellently and eloquently stated! You called it perfectly.

You're dead wrong buddy. You think you know academia because you went to college for a year? You make me laugh. The sad thing is that you probably honestly think your opinion is somehow more founded than others because of a slim slice of limited experience. It's called narcissism buddy...

You still haven't refuted and I provided concrete numbers regarding every lobbyist, PAC, and big business contributor in America. Did you even look at the site? And stop with this education bullshit. You know damn well what I do for a living and continue to sling educational ego when I step...
