“Because it traps the rethug senators who submitted the proposed amendment into voting for it. What, they're gonna vote against their own amendment?
It has the added benefit of having all of Congress intent on maintaining the highest quality of service in the public option as that would be their only health care plan.
I *****LIKE IT!!!!!!****”

Citigroup: The Last U.S.-Owned Bank

“What really not grasped by the public is every product sold has 2% added to the real price. Why? Because credit cards only pay the retailer 98% of the price of an item. They call it a transaction processing fee. So roughly, when you pay cash, you're really paying 102% of the seller's actual price. The seller has to make up that missing 2% by upping his prices.
IIRC, card vendors have, in their contract with retailers, that they won't charge cash payers less than card users.
And some people wonder why our economy is sliding into disaster.”

“Gee, then Michigan musta' been broke when the marginal tax rates were 90% (1940s & 1950s) and 70% (1960s).
When did Michigan start going downhill permanently? Oh yeah, when Reagan and Bush cut taxes even lower.
Ya see, economic know-nothing, a well-functioning economy needs a strong government that builds and maintains infrastructure and makes sure wealth is not concentrated in 5% of the population.”

Bernanke Confirmation Hearing: Latest Updates
Commented Dec 03, 2009 at 12:14:18 in Business
“I would say not to confirm Mr. Bernanke, merely grant him day-to-day employment as head of the Fed. Call him back once a week, demanding he report what he's done to fix problems. Fire his a$$ if he takes even a vacation or gives any banker a "pass" until the real, true, actual US unemployment rate (not the phoney DoL numbers) drops below 5%.”

“Hmmm, your nym as top bat s6it is well-earned. Obviously you fail to grasp the basic economic tools needed for an advanced economic system. I highly recommend you live in a more "utopian" environment that doesn't use modern banking and small government...say Somalia!
True, bankers in America have abused and ripped off the American people, but that's a reason for better courts and additional prison cells.”
