Insanity...

... is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

Now they want another 1.9 trillion. Ya know, the first couple trillion we did last year didn't actually solve any problems, nor did our bailouts, but we want to push that button again and see what happens.

Buy gold: $1500 an ounce by year end if they keep this up, you heard the prediction here first.

Wasn't it I who advocated buying gold a few months ago and Scuzzy laughing at it? Oh, yeah, it was.

There's been a ton of people telling others to buy gold. Peter Schiff has been saying it for a while, and he's predicting $5,000/ounce in the next couple years, once the Government is done re-inflating the bubble they're trying to deflate (unsuccessfully).

Although I do not remember that conversation, my guess was that I didn't expect you to be in the loop on how bad the liberals would be damaging the economy to cause that to occur. Clearly, with what they've done in the last year to cause such an economic downturn, you knew the individuals you wanted running the country would do this badly, and you were right. Cheers to you uBeR.

Depending on how bad you think things will get, gold might not be your best option.

I hear ammo trades fairly well for food.

Good point. uBeR, you're apparently in the know for the "grand plan", how bad is your team planning on making things?

Actually, I'm fairly sure this was back when Bush was in office. Also, Scuzzy, you could at least pretend to not be so ignorant.

Keep in mind, Scuzzy is fairly representative of the intellectual right. This is precisely what is meant by the term.

You're the one that wants to define "few" as "over 12 months". LOL I'm still waiting for you to pull out the liberal classic, "I mispoke", or "You're taking it out of context." It seems like you are compounding lies with lies uBeR to avoid the issue at hand, which is that a liberal president is making really really bad economic decisions.

And when a conservative president did it, the response was: "OH HE'S SECRETLY A LIBERAL!"

Somehow I think there's more to it than party lines, but you'll never see it that way.

You're an idiot, uBeR.

Edit: Also, a hypocrite.

Edit again: –adjective
1. not many but more than one: Few artists live luxuriously.
–noun
2. (used with a plural verb) a small number or amount: Send me a few.
3. the few, a special, limited number; the minority: That music appeals to the few.
–pronoun
4. (used with a plural verb) a small number of persons or things: A dozen people volunteered, but few have shown up.
—Idioms
5. few and far between, at widely separated intervals; infrequent: In Nevada the towns are few and far between.
6. quite a few, a fairly large number; many: There were quite a few interesting things to do.

So, is '12 out of 12' a few now? Fuck me. Not that this really matters but jesus shit.

I'm sorry if you haven't a strong command of the English language. I can't help you with that. Seek professional help.
