In short, buy some gold. If we hit a depression, the gold will save your life when you translate it into euros. If we hit a recession, it's a great investment for when we get out of the recession. If nothing happens, it's still a better investment than a piece of green cotton-paper.

I got a laugh out of this. Pretty much sums up what i think of Bush's "Rebate checks".

I mean seriously, is that all he can come up with? Other day on another forum i saw a gem of a post.

No one could have predicted that letting a semi-retarded dry drunk with a history of abject business failure run the country for 8 years might end up having negative economic consequences.
Granted its not all Bush's fault, but he did speed the process up, and his solution is laughable. Not to mention his.....

The shocking and reckless practices of banks behind the recent plunge in global markets illustrates just how far they have veered from reality. Stricter, more effective supervision is necessary, and the banks' perverse bonus systems must be comprehensively reformed.

Frenchman Jérôme Kerviel offered a particularly enlightening commentary on the steadily worsening crisis in the financial markets. Just as a reminder, Kerviel is one of the young traders whose unauthorized trades resulted in the stunning loss of €4.9 billion ($7.66 billion) for his employer, French bank Société Générale. When questioned by prosecutors, Kerviel offered this logical explanation for his actions: "Working in this profession, you lose your sense for sums." Then he added: "You get a little carried away."

Raise your hand if you have already figured out that the president of the United States has absolutely 'NOTHING' to do with the economy.

What, you mean me? I don't get it. But then, I'm a total failure when it comes to economics, both in my own life and in understanding the big picture.

As far as President Bush goes, I'm not that fond of the guy myself. On the other hand, when it comes to combining the two, I fall pretty much into the same opinion as Subman1.

Yes I did mean you.


Past reactions you have had when someone has made fun of our President led me to believe (I guess wrongly:yep: ) that you would be upset at lampooning the President.

No worries! :sunny:
