Are the baby boomers to blame for our current economic problems?

Change is coming..real soon.

clipped from content5.clipmarks.com The Baby Boom Generation will never be mistaken for the Greatest Generation that survived the Great Depression and defeated evil in a World War that killed 72 million people. I hate to tell you Boomers, but putting a yellow ribbon on the back of your $50,000 SUV is not sacrifice. Our claim to fame is living way beyond our means for the last three decades, to the point where we have virtually bankrupted our capitalist system. Baby Boomers have been occupying the White House for the last sixteen years. The majority of Congress is Baby Boomers. The CEOs and top executives of Wall Street firms are Baby Boomers. The media is dominated by Baby Boom executives and on-air stars. clipped from clipmarks.com Are the baby boomers to blame for our current economic problems? baby boomers

"He ventured forth to bring light to the world..."

Nice pIcture and a well written article. I'm swiping what white trash republic swiped.

clipped from whitetrashrepublic.blogspot.com "He ventured forth to bring light to the world..." (Blantantly swiped from the TimesOnline, U.K., this piece by Gerald Baker was too good! I had to post it in it's entirety...the 'shopped pic is mine, of course.) "And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness. The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow. When he was twelve years old, they found him in the temple in the City of Chicago, arguing the finer points of community organisation with the Prophet Jeremiah and the Elders. And the Elders were astonished at what they heard

Group's Study Finds Income Gap Widening

In the U.S., the richest 10% earn an average of $93,000..Looks like Joe The Plumber 's taxes are not going up after all. Wonder how many toilets have to be plumbed and reamed to make $200,000?

clipped from online.wsj.com The gap between rich and poor has widened over the past 20 years in nearly all the countries studied, even as trade and technological advances have spurred rapid growth. The Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said its 20-year study found inequality had increased in 27 of its 30 members as top earners' incomes soared while others' stagnated. The U.S. has the highest inequality and poverty rates in the OECD after Mexico and Turkey, and the gap has increased rapidly since 2000, the report said. France saw inequalities fall as poorer workers are better paid. In the U.S., the richest 10% earn an average of $93,000 -- the highest level in the OECD. The poorest 10% earn an average of $5,800 -- about 20% lower than the OECD average. OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurria said greater income inequality "polarizes societies" and "carves up the world between rich and poor." Economic inequality is growing in the world's richest countrie

Obama Spells Out Plan in New Ad

Hail Obama!
The note to the video says "on the air," but at 2 minutes, I can't imagine it's on the air often.

Contrast this with your typical McCain ad. McCain ads are all about Obama and this ad's all about Obama. When is McCain going to get around to talking about McCain?

Time's a-wastin', Sen. McCain.

clipped from www.youtube.com "Defining Moment" highlights that the question is not "are you better off than you were four years ago?" We know the answer to that. The real question is will our country be better off four years from now? On the air...

Heavy Metals, Mercury Amalgams, Detox

The A.D.A. has been in denial about this problem for many years. If you do due diligent research, the evidence is too great to ignore any more.Mercury as well as other metals do not belong in your body, especially your mouth!

clipped from www.jonbarron.org And recently, the final piece of the puzzle may have fallen into place: the connection between aluminum and fluoride. New research has revealed that fluoride in drinking water makes the aluminum that we ingest more bio-available. As was reported in Brain Research, Vol.7 84:98, the combination of aluminum and fluoride causes the same pathological changes in brain tissue found in Alzheimer's patients. A study at the University of Tennessee recently rated methyl mercury among the most dangerous poisons on Earth (just behind plutonium). Once it became irrefutable that mercury from the fillings was ending up in your body, it then became mandatory that the ADA find a new defense And in the 19th century, the workers who used mercury to make hats went bald and suffered from severe muscular tremors, dementia, and fits of wild, uncontrollable laughter. Thus the phrase: “Mad Hatter.” Phase 1: Intestinal Cleansing & Heavy Metal Removal Inescapable Toxins Alzheimer's and Dementia

Republican Party, David Talbot, Alaska, John McCain, Opinion, Barack Obama, 2008 election, Michelle Obama, Sarah Palin

clipped from www.salon.com The Palins' un-American activities Imagine if the Obamas had hooked up with a violently anti-American group in league with the government of Iran. Oct. 7, 2008 | "My government is my worst enemy. I'm going to fight them with any means at hand." Only one problem. The quote is from Joe Vogler, the raging anti-American who founded the Alaska Independence Party. Inconveniently for Palin, that's the very same secessionist party that her husband, Todd, belonged to for seven years and that she sent a shout-out to as Alaska governor earlier this year. ("Keep up the good work," Palin told AIP members. "And God bless you.") AIP chairwoman Lynette Clark told me recently that Sarah Palin is her kind of gal. "She's Alaskan to the bone ... she sounds just like Joe Vogler." Where's the outrage, Sarah Palin has been asking this week, in her attacks on Obama's fuzzy ties to Ayers? The question is more appropriate when applied to her own disturbing associations.

It could happen as early as tomorrow. This is the point where the majority of investors--having now lost up to 50% of their saving and entrusted them to so-called "trusted" advisors who have either disappeared or are out of the country or in a meeting or whatever---will leave the markets forever. As soon as the little guy has been wiped out, the big boys ( aka "Da Boyz") will be free to ramp the markets up, laughing all the way to the bank as the little guy, now near bankrupty, stands hopeless and forlorn like a kid with his nose pressed to the candy store. The kid is out of money and out of luck.
