Personally, I think you're wrong because government can, and will, prop up ANY government program for as long, and as much, as it takes.

The bet is two-fold: 1) how long before its assets are bundled and sold as credit default swaps (CDS), and 2) how long before the bottom falls out of these newly-created, leveraged-to-the-hilt "assets" and cause another catastrophic meltdown?<BR/><BR/>My bet is 12 years.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06912396346554025648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-45592761098749038542009-03-27T09:34:00.000-07:002009-03-27T09:34:00.000-07:00Saildog is totally bonkers.

I suppose this same person would also staunchly defend HIS right to free speech and thought, though, wouldn't he? Who's the ignorant neanderthal? Only an ignorant neanderthal would think that just because he has an "education", HIS truth is the only truth, and we should all just blindly swallow it up. The truth about education is simple ... garbage in = garbage out. INTELLIGENT people read, discuss, research, and discover the truth for themselves ... MORONS just suck up the party line , regurgitate it, and expect us to eat it. No thanks. I reserve my right to discuss things openly on forums like this, and I don't much care for being called ignorant for doing so.....Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903448394061019454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-33883830286183305682009-03-26T20:37:00.000-07:002009-03-26T20:37:00.000-07:00Your "followers" really are a bunch of neanderthal...Your "followers" really are a bunch of neanderthals!

He states;<BR/><BR/>“Why are the U. S. dollar fundamentals so bad? Mass creation! If you take the time to look at the Federal Reserve site and look up the money supply growth you will note that we have created/printed more dollars in the past three months than in almost the entire history of the federal reserve! They are not done yet. This new money is backed by ONLY the full faith and credit of the United States which has lost faith internationally and within our own borders, and has its credit being downgraded worldwide. If it were you and me they would be repossessing the house.”<BR/> <BR/>I know that this isn’t a green issue per se, but the same irrational misanthropic thinking applies.Rich Kozlovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13745960671409518147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-79104567272923070602009-03-25T18:16:00.000-07:002009-03-25T18:16:00.000-07:00I think I have an idea.
