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.

There's nothing to dodge. I said few, and Credge says "few = X out of 12, meaning X < 12." If you believe "few" means "12," then you have a poor command of the English language. If you think "few" means less than a year, you have a poor command of the English language. Nothing to dodge about that. What is being dodged, on the other hand, is the complete wreck and ruin that Bush bestowed upon the economy. I mean, it would be absolutely hysterical to an outside observer (or, basically, anyone who has the capacity to think) seeing you two fools babble on about a word without actually addressing the actual point that's been made. Again, that's the intellectual right.

You said, "a few months", that means you think "a few" is 12 or more, which seems ludicrious to those of us familiar with the way "a few" is used in the English language.

It isn't that we're babbling on about a word, it's that we're pointing out that your story continually changes as people call you on the BS and you're incapable of fessing up. Maybe we don't do that in an 'uBeR' few days.

Apparently that's all some people have to defend their policies unfortunately.
