Obama had all the choice in the world. Obama's tax cuts were passed when the Republicans had no authority to submit legislation in Congress.

The debt issues came months later.

All Obama had to do was... nothing. As we heard at the time often, this wasn't a tax hike. It was a tax cut expiration. Obama and the Democratic Congress created and passed a bill to extend them.

At the time the Obama tax cuts were passed, Democrats had complete control of the Senate with regards to submitting legislation.

You mean the Obama era tax cuts. The Bush era tax cuts expired two years ago.

Wait, I'm confused. Is it sitting in hedge funds, or sitting in banks? Sitting in banks there's less risk, but rates are pretty poor. If it's in hedge funds there's risk, but you can make money.

I just wanted to see if you could clear that up for me?

AT&T often doesn't have the network either.

Banks only keep a portion of deposits on hand. This is standard regulated procedure called "Fractional Reserve Lending". No bank can return every despositers funds on demand at the same time. None of them. Anywhere.

When bank runs occur, there is a systemic lack of funds to meet demand due to fractional reserve lending.

This is simply not enough supply to meet demand, and not similar to failure of fractional reserve lending at all.

A minority? Who does Stewart's voting minority vote for?

He said "socialist nations", not "nations with socialist elements". Even the U.S. has "socialist" elements.

I don't see any of the countries you listed here.
