Steve Forbes is a coattail rider. He road on his daddy who ran Forbes magazine and his granddaddy who founded the mag.He never did a thing in his life. He never launched a business. He never even ran a gas station.He knows zip about money, economics and the economy.Steve Forbes, you silver-spooned fraud.

Not $700 billion--that's the amount we're paying for distressed assets. The actual number is close to nearly $2 Trillion!

Obama IS basically a communist. But in all fairness, so is McCain.Lets just say that whoever votes to bail out corporate oligopolies with $700 billion taxpayer dollars that we dont actually have at a time is not a capitalist.

Amen. The economy has had in place a myriad of safeguards against inflation and voila! inflation is alive and kicking and it does hurt the economy. Never mind the deflation mirage we have right now. Prices are through the roof and aren't coming down, problem is the money supply is getting shorter because credit is drying up. What is Forbes going to say when the Dollar is devalued? Preserve the Dollar? How? It's not backed by gold!? It's backed by Paulson's signature. What a joke!

I see how one could call Obama a communist. He wants to impose taxes on the wealthy, and corporations and spread it to the little guy. While this is certainly what communist do, the idea of communism is that everyone is equal, that there are no rich or poor. While he may spread a little to some lower class folk (its a way to get votes) he isn't going to threaten the overall wealth of the upper echelon folk, therefore he is more of a socialist.

And 0,000000000000000000000000000001% goes to America's National Parks. Strange, therefore, that American postcards often showcase magnificent American landscapes; I would expect too see nukes, tanks, and Blackwater mercenaries on its postcards.

If you don't want your wealth to diminish in the next year or two, listen to the most honest economic advisors in America. Peter Schiff, Ron Paul, and Jim Rogers.Invest in Agriculture, Gold and Silver, and foreign currency. The dollar will continue to inflate and lose purchasing power. Your wealth is going to go down if you listen to the same people who have destroyed our economy and those who peddle their propaganda - the mass media and the Federal Reserve.

Arguing about this crap is about as dumb as arguing whether you want to die by fire or by drowning...why not choose to live?Quit buying into all the finger pointing and do some damn research yourself. Oh that's right, fools like you believe that mass media IS research. Try putting that on a bibiliography...saw it on FOX!
