I have said it before but you have chastised me for saying it,
They are educated idiots,
all that college did them no good in the real world.

Technology is great when it works,
and one big pain in the ass when it doesn't.
Detroit iron rules all the rest are just toys.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Dow and the S&P 500 surged to all-time highs on Friday after a solid employment report rekindled optimism about the U.S. economy and corporate profits.
The economy added more jobs in September than economists had expected, while an earlier estimate of job losses in August was revised to a gain, quashing fears of recession.

Not having an education doesn't indicate any particular common sense either.
So it appears that the amount of common sense is not reflected by the amount of education.
Please wait. I'm alerting the media as we speak.

Steve, when did we debate this point........EVER?
The only time I think we've gotten close to this debate is when I tell you that you didn't understand an article you posted on something yet lacked common sense by continuing to argue about something or some article you don't understand.
--------------------------------------------------------
Ever see me argue with you about a welding question? Nope! I'd lack common sense to argue with you about something you know well and I barely know.
Ever see me argue with you about an auto repair question? Nope! I'd lack common sense to argue with you about something you know well and I barely know.
Education does not = common sense.
Lack of education does not = lack of common sense.

Interesting, these economists play a huge part in the confidence the populous has in the system which is what drives the entire market and money system. The way I see it they had a huge part in this down turn of the market, but they just say ooops we made a correction, me bad.
Watch, this will keep going on through the next election cycle.

So you fellas are condoning / defending the trappers methods and are blaming the victim?
Just to make sure you are aware, the motivation was to get the sale and make that buck. The trap was a carefully designed tool, created spacifically for the purpose of increasing the odds of failure for the victim.
The trappers and those who designed the traps could care less about those they hurt (or rather were hurt) and the damage it caused.
Condone it or not, say nay all you want or not, deny the fact that our economy is in ruin or not... regardless... we are ALL paying for this tactic.
The situation here is so dire that even the EU is talking about it.
--------------------------------------------------
European officials fret over U.S. economy
EU finance ministers to kick off two days of meetings. Key issues: the impact of slowing U.S. growth and the weak dollar.
"Last week, the employers federation BusinessEurope said that, by crossing 1.40 against the U.S. dollar, the euro exchange rate had reached a "pain threshold" for European companies. It also complained the euro was appreciating too fast against the Chinese yuan and Japanese yen."

Victims or who exactly? Themselves. There is no trap. But some people don't know anything but how to be a victim so they do all they can to make it look like there is a trap to fall into. Victims of there own stupidity. If they had bother to educate them self and read what they willingly signed they wouldn't have ruined them self. But of course its every one else's fault.

Believe what you want, lay blame where ever you like, the bottom line is... We ALL are victims of this shaddy tactic. You may not be suffering, you may not be feeling the pinch, you may not feel there is a problem but the writing remains clearly wtitten on the wall in big bold letters... the U.S. dollar is running off a cliff.
Our dollar is very weak yet many here seem to believe that beacuse the dow is at record levels and their portfolios are showing gains it means that everything is just fine fine fine... Thats great, I'm glad you have something good to share with the community but do you see that "our dollar" is growing less valueable, that "your dollar" is buying less?
It is devaluing so rapidly that it is beginning to effect the rest of the worlds ability to do business. <insert speculation here> as to how this will pan out. I honestly dont know but I do know that a weak dollar means less value, means less dollars can be spent on a vaiety of necessities.
