GP1 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Link This is a stupid guy appealing to the most stupid people in the Republican Party. These people are not conservative, they are just bitter and stupid people. Ever watch the Mike Huckabee show on FOX? It looks like they brought in the audience from the Lawrence Welk Show.

UAZipster0305 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Scary that this guy is one of the more reasonable GOP leaders. If I were a conservative/Republican I'd be really embarrassed. Party leadership is a bunch of talking heads, and now one of the few (previously) credible candidates goes off the deep end. I bet the liberals/Democrats are quietly throwing a party over their increasingly imminent victory in 2012. As long as the economy stays strong...

The economy is booming with it's current 9.8% unemployment rate. Employment numbers typically lag the stock market. So the stock market is the economy? I had no idea. It is a reflection of how the economy is doing. In a time when it is hard for a business to get money from a bank for investment in new equipment, etc., you have to find other methods of financing your cap ex projects. A good way of doing that is to sell stock. Increased stock value allows a company to get cash through the sale of those stocks to outside investors. The increase in the stock market will eventually lead to lower unemployment because companies will be able to finance cap ex projects through stock sales in lieu of bank loans.

Are you sure his real target isn't Bristol Palin? (Somehow I got my cut and past tied into trimmy10's post. GP1 posted the link.) Either way, it makes Huckabee look really sleazy.

GP1 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 George F. Will gets is right as usual. Quick question...When Will calls him a "vibrator" in the article, is he really calling him a dick? When Al Sharpton plays the race card, nobod is surprised because he is dealing from the top of the deck. There is a certain honesty to what Sharpton does because he makes no bones about where he is coming from. The problem with Huckabee playing the race card, which he is, is he is dealing from the bottom of the deck. He is speaking a type of code to a base faction in the Republican Party that decent people should be ashamed of. I wish Palin and Huckabee wold just go away. Curse the douschebags at Fox News for keeping them alive. Where is Z.I.P. on this issue facing ZNO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen the movie, but the situation we are in isn't too difficult to figure out. 30 years ago, 8% of the GDP of the USA was financial institutions. Today, it is 42%. The only way to really have a wealthy society is to make things. What do financial institutions make? What value do they bring to society other than getting people to sign on the dotted line and pass along a fee for processing paperwork? How many people out there know there is a tax incentive the US government gives you to move your company to another country? We have met the enemy and we are us. If the unemployment number is going down, what kind of job is replacing it? Let's look. Jobs lost during the recession were wage jobs between $19.05 and $31.40 per hour. These new and exciting jobs everyone is excited about are wages between $9.03 and $12.91. Another step toward the US becoming a Third World country complete. I'm a pretty conservative guy, but there is something really wrong in this country. I could care less about the rich or the poor. The middle, or shrinking middle, is a huge problem moving forward.

Banks lend out 10x more money than they have available on reserve. That situation alone is enough to cause catastrophe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of banks who have weathered the financial crisis well. True, that helps tremendously. FirstMerit of Akron is a great example. However, if the economy ever got so bad that people needed tangible cash to feel more secure with their buying power (and not the invisible dollar amounts posted on paper and online) and there was an abrupt, critical withdraw from the reserves, the financial system would completely collapse.

Banks lend out 10x more money than they have available on reserve. That situation alone is enough to cause catastrophe. Are you referring to required reserves or excess reserves. If you consider this situation carefully you will realize that because required reserves must be maintained either as vault cash or on deposit at the Fed these amounts really are not "available" to meet the bank's liquidity needs. So one can only conclude that the situation is more dire than you have stated. All members of the Zips Nation should withdraw any money they have in a depository institution and bury it in your backyard. This is the only way to truly solve the problem.

You sir, however, hint at a much better solution. An alternative way to solve the problem is for all Members of Zip Nation to withdraw all their funds from depository no lets make that all financial institutions and send it to the Zipmeister who will then bury some of the money in his back yard. The remainder may be used to entertain fast women (because the Zipmeister has always been a track fan). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
