Wow, talk about the blind leading the blind. LOL the country is about 4 times worse off than it was in 2008, but you are blind to see it. Great, more financial aid for student loans . Why? Because the price of tuition is rising at double digit rates and you NEED a loan for $100,000 like you need a bullet to the head. The only job your going to be able to procure after college graduation is a stint in the Military as a bullet and shrapnel catcher.Taxes went down, but the value of the dollar went down twice as fast. You are still behind the curve, but they dressed it all up in a nicely wrapped present with a bow and your name on it and you thought they were being so nice to you. We have laws in this country, well that is unless you are a big business . then you can get a "Waiver" and can thwart the law at public expense.Is the economy any better than it was in 2008? Hmmmmm what a stupid ass question. Credit card reform.... health care that saves over 10 bil a year, lower taxes, tax credits, aid to students going up, improvements in national power grid, additional enrollments in CHIPS, and I haven't even scratched the surface....
There sure are a lot of deaf, dumb and blind people out there that don't pay attention to atual news, bill and reforms going on. They're too busy watching FOX News and talking shit...
CFTC position limits are 1,500 contracts per entity, unless you are JP Morgan, then its just perfectly fine to have 220,000 naked short contracts because you got a "waiver" from Obama. ANytime you hear the word"Waiver" its some one deep in the pockets of a politician and has paid the dues to get into the special law breakers club, a special club that never gets prosecuted, enjoys special priveleges, maybe even gets a special card, designating you immune to the laws that everyone else has to live by.
Yep things sure are great. Unofficial unemployment 22%, Inflation 8% and getting worse, Japan is going to sell treasuries, ought ta be a hoot to see how much debt the Fed will monetize to keep the interest rates down when all those dollars come back home to roost won't it? The economy is sunk, there is no improvement, only obfuscation by the media to keep your mind off the fact that you seem to have to live more frugally every day just to make ends meet.
