     NO WAY LOOK AT THIS 

     watch this closely because the crash is coming hard and fast

    From Think Progress:

    This morning on NBC’s Today Show, President Bush denied that the there’s any link between the faltering U.S. economy and $10 billion a month being spent on the Iraq war. In fact, according to Bush, the war is actually helping the economy:

    CURRY: You don’t agree with that? It has nothing do with the economy, the war — spending on the war?

    BUSH: I don’t think so. I think actually the spending in the war might help with jobs…because we’re buying equipment, and people are working. I think this economy is down because we built too many houses and the economy’s adjusting.

    Watch it: on you tube         Now  There will be many surprises ahead.See the report from Glen Beck from 2-18-8 one of the big wigs in the finical part of the government QUIT his job and in one week is his last day. The word out on the street is that we will be completely bankrupt by 2057 if we don't change our ways and he is joining a group to keep this from happening. Buy oil and gold and groceries stores stock. Safeway Kroger also Lou Dobbs just did a show on the planing of the Mexico Canada trans highway, It is a fact and it is just getting national attention. Ron Paul was right. dare i say impeachment? Also factor AL Queda allways strikes when we are at our weekest. We still haven't closed the Boader.  may be we should buy stock in smith and weston the gun co. ITS getting really really really bad out there.

    The dimwit congress would pass a bill to build a highway but not spend money on a secure border , that would make to much sense... Vote all these a##holes out and start over with folks that want to work for the people that elect them ,rather than the people who fill their pockets with money..

     Smith & Weston and Ruger is a great suggestion with lots of ammo.. We will soon have to fight our own battles anyway because no one is looking out for the little guy anymore..

    i had an operation with a one night stay in the hospital that cost $22,000. i had insurance.  it doesn't matter if we are white, black, jewish, catholic, good, bad, right, wrong, gay, straight; we are humans and we all all susceptible to illness and injury.  a large medical condition could wipe out someone completely.  imagine loosing $22,000  over night in the stock market.  not a pretty picture.  everyone should be entitled to affordable medical care.  i don't have any answers as to how to provide it, but i see it as a necessity.

    Re: Socialized Medicine

    I AGREE 100% WITH YOU ABOUT EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE. THE QUESTION IS HOW IS THE BEST WAY TO GO ABOUT IT. I THINK CREATING COMPETITION IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR IS THE BEST WAY.

    Re: Socialized Medicine

     If we take the lawyers and insurance companies of the the medical care industry we may get affordable health care once again.

    65% of all health care cost goes to companies and people that have nothing to do with health care, this is where the our money goes.

    Ever since the creation of HMO's and other insurance prices went up 3000%, and with the lawyers and there 95% bogus law suits against the medical industry it's no wonder we are bleeding to death financially.

    I still say i like the way Canada system of socialized medicine works...It may not be perfect but it is a 1000% better than what we have...when people think of socialized medicine i think they get the wrong idea...they think of not being able to go to the doctor you want...or having to wait for necessary treatments....that is not the case....If you have an emergency you will be taken care of...and the benefits far outweigh anything you are likely to get with an insurance company in the states...

    Your term," Socialized Medicine " has a bad connotation to it. Let's call it American progress.

    Time we caught up with most of the rest of the developed countries on this planet.

    I agree with you Karand. SS helps to keep elderly people from starving and medicaid saves lives daily so if it is like that it won't be perfect but it should help.
