08/15/10--09:35: Comment on On Gold, Guns, Bread and Cadillacs… by Andrew (chan 1304333)

You're exactly right. Gold is money. Cadillac is better than a Lincoln. Unfortunately, I have to agree with the first or second comments, the payment structure isn't set up for gold and never will. It'd be impossible to go to a gold standard because of the huge quadrillion vortex hole we've created on this planet. We must realize, though, that everything we've created such as <a href="http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/blog/the-student-loan-bubble" rel="nofollow">student loan bubbles</a>, housing bubbles, dotcom bubbles, etc., is all due to fiat currency.

09/08/10--11:29: Comment on Forgetting Faux Stress Tests, Reclaiming Experience and Possibly Ourselves by Andrew (chan 1304333)

All those stress tests are just a big waste of time. Instead, lets just end the Federal Reserve. "There’s nothing we can do about unemployment numbers or Fed interest rate decisions or even if we get fired from our jobs." There is something we do about the unemployment numbers: once again, end the <a href="http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/blog/federal-reserve-gets-beat-again" rel="nofollow">Federal Reserve</a>, end Keynesian economics and go back to free-market economics. The unemployment rate is roughly 20-25% and this happened by accident?


02/15/11--03:07: Comment on A Quick Blurb on Mortgages & Treasuries by mark nordlicht (chan 1304333)

Since we're talking about subjects in the area of A Quick Blurb on Mortgages & Treasuries | Deep Thoughts by Professor Pinch, Of the 2.2 million foreclosures supposedly "prevented" by Hope Now Alliance, 53% of homeowners were in default once more within 6 months. Why, you ask? For the reason that the supposed modifications led to higher, not lower payments, because lenders are tacking on missed payments, taxes, and large fees to borrower's monthly bills.
