Maybe Massalai was right after all

Thanks Westie,
Post as soon as you hear something - with a link if any..... as I am likely to forget - what with time-zones and etc....

Now that is a nice boat (far better than the bloat on the other avatar)

My new curves weren't appreciated?


No links just simple observation.

Oil prices =Iran

S&P=look at charts and note the S&P has dropped the last 3 times the long term bond auctions have come up.
Will it happen again? Not sure,but pay attention to the Euro and Euro news around that time.

Pierzga said it all in #880..

If it gets to crisis, you can be that's what will happen.

I'm not sure anyone dared mention anything, West.

Thanks for concern..that was not me BTW!

Things don't need to be a crisis,just some bad/good news will move it around in that correlation.

In a drunken stupor, I had guessed that, but it still detracted from your "image" ... The boat" is far more appropriate...

I posted this on the inside of several windows on my boat - I hope it scares the shits out of the young idiots who did so much damage in trying to "jump start my engines" (they will never start because there is an ignition lock & a fuel-lock and other stuff)... replacing 2 hatches ($150 each) Recovering 2 AGM batteries that were totally flattened, fiddled with some wiring that had to be rectified, ($150) and wasting some fuel & damaging some fuel-containers ($50)... attached in pdf format is the notice... I do not have any guns but a flare fired close range up their ass may prove a deterrant?

Install a few hidden motion activated infrared mini spy cameras.

They're quite cheap,and will give you proof of theft,and a chance to recover costs from the next thief.

Hi Westie, Thanks...
That is what I am looking into now - Not cheap here - on the opposite side of the world... - I am looking at catalogues now and enjoying info on others links Thanks....

Barack Obama is trying to make the US a more socialist state

The ideas the President outlined in the State of the Union are based on the very model that is causing the EU to implode.

I"m not so sure about that Bamby. Not that I"m all that impressed with Obummer but it seems to me that the classic European move these days it towards a more austere approach to the debt crisis. Looks to me like thats not working to well either, and that its our republicans that want to pay down the debt on the backs of the elderly, the young, the single mothers, and those who generally had nothing to do with developing it in the first place

Obummer, as you called him, seems to be running out of fuel. The concept of taking money from the rich to pay debt doesn't make numerical sense. It is a matter of stopping waste the trillions we spend cannot be paid by taxing millionaires only. Actually, the only that it can be paid and will be paid is by further devaluation of the dollar. If you devalue the dollar enough, and the debt is fixed, then some kind of parity can be achieved. That was Bush and Obama's plan, but it back fired because they kept spending more money.

A simple analogy, if you make $2000, a month and have $1,000,000 in debt. It could take you a long time to pay off your debt. However, if you spend $3,000, then you will never pay it off. Now there is a sudden inflation, you still owe a mil, but now you make $10,000 a month, now you can pay off the lower value $1mil quicker, unless you're now spending $20,000 a month. Now you are spending even more and are getting into a deeper hole.

So, you see inflation, unemployment, the debt, and government intervention are going to lead the US to the point were the President will have to declare nationalization of many industries in order to maintain order.

SO, there is no paying down the debt without incredible budget tightening, the only one speaking of this is Ron Paul.

If we don't get someone in White House that knows what they are doing, the United States will break up ala the former Soviet Union as the states cannot handle the debt and pay for other states debts. Several large states like Texas, Alaska, Florida might break off. Others like California, might be forced out or forced to pay their own bills.

If Obama is reelected, he may just be the last president of the Untied States. And if you think this is crazy, just look at the old USSR breakup.
