machinehead Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Greasepan: "So far this year, the rise in the value of imported oil - essentially a tax on U.S. residents - has amounted to about three quarters of one percent of GDP," Greenspan said in a speech exploring many issues surrounding oil prices prepared for delivery to the National Italian American Foundation. Although this is a noticeable impact, it is "likely to prove less consequential to economic growth and inflation than in the 1970s," he said. Not only do I flatly reject this conclusion ... but I've placed a large bet that it is 100% wrong. Bring it on, Al. It's you vs. me, suckah ...

pistolpapa Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Fascism alert: Speaker J. Dennis Hastert released the following statement regarding the meeting next week of the conferees on the 9/11 Recommendations Implementation Act: "I am glad that the conferees will be meeting next week for the first public meeting of the conference on the 9/11 Recommendations Implementation Act. Intelligence Committee Chairman Pete Hoekstra, who will chair this conference committee, will do an excellent job of bringing people together to get a legislative result that will make the country safer. He will work well with Senator Susan Collins, who did such an admirable job getting legislation through the Senate." Full text of announcement The House version -- by standardizing state drivers licenses under federal control -- implements a virtual national ID and internal passport scheme in the U.S. The Senate bill does not contain that language. If the House prevails in conference, President Bush will sign a bill ... before the election ... implementing a national ID in America. Time's up, folks ... this is it ... the jail door is about to slam shut for good. Not to worry, Mr. Coolidge First, the Lone Star Texas, since they are a state only by yearly treaty, won't do it. Arizona will succeed from the Union first. California and New York's efforts will be sabotaged by the red tape and lawyers. Montana, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, New Mexico and Hawaii will drag their feet. In Nevada and Illinois, the Mafia will stall it. It will take Arkansas, Alabama and Mississippi a couple of years to read the law. By that time, the financial implosion will make it economically unfeasible and unnecessary.

beardrech Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 A Federal Inflation Conspiracy? Influential Bond Guru Bill Gross Says The Government Is Intentionally Understating The CPI -- And What A Howl That Has Raised Great stuff Purdy. I like this one: Gross also says the feds are adjusting for the fact that if the price of beef goes up, people eat more chicken. Therefore, it doesn't matter so much if a steak costs more. Economists call this phenomenon "substitution bias." Right. And if the price of gas goes up, we all ride our horses? And if the price of health care goes up, we all pray? And if prayer loses its utility then, just like the Fed and the Buro of labor statistics,we affiliiate ourselves with the devil beardrech :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zensmoke Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Polls Show Worsening of U.S. ReputationAmerica's Reputation Abroad Is Worsening, According to Polls in 10 Nations, Including Close AlliesLONDON Oct. 15, 2004 ? America's reputation around the world is hurting, according to a series of coordinated polls published Friday from 10 countries, including many of the United States' closest allies. In eight of the countries where the surveys commissioned by major newspapers were conducted, more people said their view of America had worsened in the past two to three years than improved. That question was asked in nine countries. By big margins, those questioned said the war in Iraq did not aid the global fight against terrorism. And in eight out of 10 nations, those polled said often in landslide proportions that they hoped to see Democrat John Kerry beat President Bush in next month's election. Bush won backing from a majority of respondents only in Russia and Israel. The polls were conducted in Canada, France, Britain, Spain, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Mexico, Israel and Russia, with results to be published in the participating newspapers on Friday. Not all questions were asked in every country. On average, 57 percent of those questioned said their opinions of America had worsened over the past two to three years, compared with 20 percent who said their view had improved. That question was asked in nine of the countries, but not in Russia. Seventy-four percent of Japanese, 70 percent of French, 67 percent of South Koreans, 64 percent of Canadians and 60 percent of Spaniards said they had a worse opinion of America now than two to three years ago. http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=168310 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
