Submitted by OC Money Man on 06/28/2013 18:50 -0500The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) crowd were celebrating conservatives angry yesterday with the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision to over-turn the Congressional Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and remand California’s Proposition 8 back to the lower courts. But I believe the Court’s decisions were consistent with the Commerce Clause and 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Why isn't the US growing at 6.25%
Submitted by BalanceOrBust on 06/27/2013 19:10 -0500The US recovery is supposedly now well underway. So here is a puzzle that I can't figure out.
The Fed has been buying up bonds at a rate of $85 billion a month. I know that Bernanke has hinted that this may come to an end, but not immediately.
Now $85 billion a month times 12 months is over $1 trillion.
The US GDP is about $16 trillion.

Any Opinons on Martin Armstrong? (Princeton Economics)
Submitted by squexx on 06/25/2013 09:29 -0500Just wondering if anyone had any opinions on Martin Armstrong of Princeton Economics (before prison) and late of ArmstrongEconomics.com? His ideas are interesting, but a bit hard to swallow.
I can't say I know lots about economics but his ideas on cycles are intriguing, to say the least. He has called some amazing dates, like the market crash in Octover 1987. But he's also called things wrong as well.
Anyone?

Wag The Syrian Dog
Submitted by OC Money Man on 06/14/2013 21:56 -0500“Wag the Dog” is the political strategy for a national leader to start a military operation to divert negative attention away from him. In 1997, Hollywood produced a Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman movie by the same name about an American President caught up in a sex scandal that decides to start a war in the Balkans to distract the public. Eighteen months later with President Bill Clinton facing a sex scandal, he started a war in the Balkans.

Have you ever heard via the web, you can make free calls to your iphone? The world of technology has made all these things possible. It has helped us to live convenient and comfortable lives. Do you still remember long time ago; we had to spend so much money on long distance calls or international calls? We also sent letters to our friends and families where we do not know if they will receive or not. The cost of communication has also been a obstacle in keeping in touch with our loved ones.
