I think Derek hates Obama. Everything is wonderful. Just ask Hondo, DoucheDaDice, and diafBill.

No it's not. He and Bush really fucked up the debt and this cuntry is a mess, but like Honda, you seem to focus blame on one party in a myopic way when the whole system is screwed up.

Disagree. I have repeated that both parties are fucked up. However, we are not in a depression and letting Iran build a monster nuclear arsenal.

The world is ducked up because we're all slaves to the neoliberal financial institutions, and that includes the US even though we wrote the fucking rules. Want to understand the war on unions? Want to understand reduced employment following the recession? Want to understand why the shadowy trade negotiations that you hear about every now and then are so hated by people that read history?

Not that retarded specimens of evolution like d2d have any idea who the true paymasters are in our society.

This # bottomed. U.S. economy is back for the next 4 years, but the stock market is going to drop at least by 30% within the next year. Most the rest of the economies around the world will be at zero growth for the next 3 years -> why commodities' prices are dropping so much + the dollar is strengthening with interest rate rises coming to kill the housing market. I'm short gold through "DGLD" 3X gold bear fund. Gold and oil are priced in dollars - rest of the world doesn't like the prices of those with a strengthening dollar.

You are partly right. The dollar is at 12 year highs, and that means oil and gold prices will be dropping.

The stock market will not drop 30% the next year. Consumer confidence is increasing in America, which is offsetting the other economies "decline". I put decline in quotes because counties like China are growing at 8% still, but down from 13%. It will drop in the near future due to a natural cycle. It will be a shallow quick recession (if you don't know what that means, think of your sex life, let's just say it's always consensual for you). The timing will be a after the election. No matter who is elected.
