GAO: Obamacare To Add $6.2 TRILLION To Deficit

Posted By James McSheehy
Desperate people do desperate things:

~ $15T currently sitting in 401Ks, IRAs, & Pensions. Here's the DC two-step:

1) Govt offers a "voluntary" plan, trade your currnt retirement account for a guaranteed annuity. This will bring in ~ $5T from the most gullible.

2) Assess a "one-time" 10% wealth tax on accounts of the hold-outs. Cha-ching, another $1T!

See how easy it is to get $6T. grin

Uploading photos

No go with the iPad, and AMart is not alone in that regard. One of the glaring faults (or is it a feature?) of iOS is the lack of a "traditional" file system that allows users to grab individual files. A workaround is to upload files to a service like Dropbox, Google Drive, Sky Drive, or iCloud, but the "choose file" dialog on sites like AMart doesn't allow browsing for files outside the device.

So, either Apple changes its stripes and allows better file access in iOS (good luck with that), or AMart and others update their crufty code and acknowledge the world has moved beyond the year 1996.

I would LOVE to see these guys get this treatment

Typical behavior for sociopaths. Seems the federal government has its share these days, hell one of them was just named Director of the CIA.

Denali, The Great One

Nice shot of the mountain Mike (pictures open fine BTW). My only visit to Alaska was in the ‘80s, but I still recall that everything in the landscape seemed bigger and more beautiful than it ought to be.

Eurozone Grabs Money From Private Bank Accounts

Posted By James McSheehy
Bernanke is doing the same here through ZIRP and QE. Instead of an outright assessment on bank accounts, the Fed's policies create price inflation that effectively taxes savers and anyone holding cash and transfers the money to insolvent banks.

At least the Europeans are up front about their mode of theft. 8)

Don't let the screams stop you

Believe it or not, there are educated, titled human beings that make no distinction between their political goals and any right to life.

They consider belief in unalienable rights to be childish and unsophisticated. The State makes the rules for our ultimate benefit. shocked
