Helpless Feeling

    Posted by meaghan on 8th of Aug 2011 at 02:21 pm

    I almost forgot what a helpless feeling it is to watch your account balance return to levels of a year ago in just a few days. All the trading, time spent doing analysis seems wasted now.

    Also, watching the S&P folks kick our ass is infuriating !

    blame 'em all

    Honestly, I blame the tea party and republicans for making a deal that was nothing more than business as usual. If these folks cant do what was needed, what they were elected to do, then that helpless feeling you have is just gonna get worse because we are doomed.?.

    Can't really blame the dems, can we, because we all know they will never face reality and are proud to say so.

    How about the Sal Alinsky Tacktics for Barack Obama?

    Fact:   The continuing resolution and budget could have been passed in the Lame Duck Session. 

    Fact:   Barack Obama Knew submitted a budget taking in account NOTHING to do with the debt of the United States.

    Fact:   He "resubmitted" a budget.. via "SPEECH".  The budget office said that a "SPEECH" cannot be scored.

    Fact:   When the first "showdown"  over the continuing resolution came down,  very little cuts actually took place.

    Fact:    The Senate hasn't passed a budget in almost 3 years.   Why pass a budget when "the pump" was already primed with an   84 percent increase in spending with automatic spending increases already built in by "baseline budgeting" 

    Fact:   The Senate and Obama have never submitted a revised plan   to   bring down the debt.

    Fact:   The debt ceiling raise was a bullshit law,   but the House of Representatives in only 1/3 of the government.    

    So ask yourself this:   Who really planned this CHAOS???    Barack Obama and the Dems or the "Tea Party"?     Considering the Tea Party wanted more cuts and a balanced budget amendment and several other proposals to cut the debt,   but lacked the votes....  the real choice was letting the government remain open or Default.   The CHAOS was caused by Barack Obama;  IT WAS PLANNED.    This boxing match should have been played on the continuing resolution a couple months back,   not with the debt ceiling.    That is when the government should have been shut down.    That is why you are left with no trust in government on either side.    But whatever you believe...   The Tea Party has been the only people looking out for the budget, no matter what they say on CNBC,  MSNBC,   and all the rest of the Treasonous media.    One more thing.. I didn't start this tread so don't send me nasty emails in my private email.   Trust me,   you won't like my response if you do.

    So ask yourself this:   Who really planned this CHAOS???   

    That is the wrong question, because it implies that there was a planner.  Some people see planners everywhere, others are more content with reality, which is usually messy.

    But, even if there was a planner, I ask you a simple question:  who has the most to gain from the current "chaos", the party in control of the White House or the opposition?

    Who made this bet on the downgrade?

    I think .... If the dems had passed "Cut, Cap, & Balance" the SPX would be north of 1,400 and our S&P rating would not have changed.  We'd be celebrating the 3rd & 4th entries on the SPY as magical.

    But yes ...... they are all a worthless bunch.

    What does "3rd & 4th entries on the SPY" mean?  Is this some kind of Bilderberg code?  Please explain.

    Yes, once we enacted the Federal Reserve Act, we were basically screwed. The entire world is playing the same charade thanks to the central bankers.

    Yes!!
