Just like the all of the banks who created mortgage-backed securities; they knew that those securities weren't worth the paper they were written on, but some sucker on the market would gladly buy it and would be left holding the bag when the housing market would collapse. Too bad so many other banks bought those securities and we had a credit crunch.

Because then the terrorist would WIN!

Imagine a beowolf cluster of those!

This semester, my accounting professor is requiring us to get WebTutor on Blackboard. Luckily I took the course last semester, realized that WebTutor doesn't really add to the course (over the book), and I'm skipping it this semester. Hopefully the professor won't kick me out because I don't have it.

Gen X's are those born through late 70's, early 80's; Gen Y, AKA Millennials, are those born from early 80's and on

Really? The economy was still going uphill until his budgets went into effect? Then maybe you should return your 2008 $300 stimulus check and realize that any of Obama's budgets that he signed, did not take effect until 2010.

1. What or who are you reffering too?
2. Taxes are hugely unbalanced with income made by "investments" being taxed at a much lower rate than by income made by doing actual work. Regulation is too make sure that individuals aren't hurt by unscrupulus practises; a lack of enforcement has caused this economy a world of hurt. Would you eat at restaurants if you might get sick from the food, because they were unregulated?
3. Nobody blames Bush for the .com or the housing bubble. It's been the deregulations and non-enforments that has everyoneupset. What did you do with your $300 stimulis check in 2008?
4. Yes, the dems can be just as bad, but the insistence that more and more deregulation for an industry that has caused so much trouble is shocking. It would be like saying that football players are being hurt because of all of the rules about tackles and the NFL should allow tackles after play has stopped so the players would be mentally preparred to be tackled at any time.

A moose once bit my sister...

With all of their assets in the bank, they could do more R&D or they can start absorbing other companies. Looks like we know what their plan is now; I expect Apple technology to be at the same level as everybody else, from here on out.

So you can watch it and not watch at the same time?

Like Utah's UTOPIA? It's on the Utah's republicans hit list, btw.

The 1% make most of their money through capital gains. Since capital gains are taxed at a different rate than ordinary income, it makes a huge difference when tax season comes around. In the mean time, more and more middle income families are getting caught in the a Alternative Minimum Tax, which the republicans in Congress have had the better part of a decade to fix, but their focus has been on making sure tax rates on the highest end of the pay scale fall faster than those on the lower end of the pay scale.

Let's start with the debate if this is irony or not. GO!
