December 9, 2009 12:28 PM Forum: Global Warming - REAL or NOT

Political Science

Posted By Mark Kuba

My take is Global Warming is nearly completely theoretical, with enphasis on the Retorical.
Political Science rather than science. It belongs in the same unscientific catagory as the philosophy, not science, of "the many worlds theory" or any variations of string theory.

Osama's goal was to bankrupt US

Posted By Mark Kuba

Obama turned an inherited $5 Trillion dollar Federal debt (not counting Medicare and Social Security) into a $10 Trillion debit.

It took over 200 years and two World Wars, Vietnam, JOhnson's Great Society welfare programs,Carter's Department of Education spending, Korea, the Marshall Plan,
Operation Desert Storm, Afganistan, 911 and the new Department of Homeland Security, The Moon race, all of NASA, all the intelligence agencies , Iraq, all the Bush bailouts of the Banking system.

In short all Federal Spending excluding Social Security and Medicare to reach a debt of 5 Trillion.

An irrational Congress approved budgets doubling the Federal debt (not including Social Security and Medicare) and they were signed by Obama.


What Osama couldn't do Obama accomplished, brought America to the brink of bankruptcy!

Price list from Catalogue

Posted By Mark Kuba

Does anyone have the prices from the 90s Zeiss Catalogue, in particular for the AS lenses. Also I see that Zeiss sold two APQ lenses separately also.

*INFLATION*Greenspan at Bloomberg Economic Forum 5

Posted By Mark Kuba

The video should be on CSPAN.

Here are some points:

Regarding the "Bond bubble" that we are in:

"I am not saying we are in a Bond Bubble"

"When the top of a Bubble comes like the derivative bubble of 2008 there is lots of liquidity and everyone thinks they can get out. Then the liquidity dries up suddenly"

1979 "When the 10 year Note hit 10% noone thought it could go higher"

"We cannot go back to a Gold Standard as long as the American People demand a Welfare State."

Gold is a currency.

"Inflation is coming, certainly within 10 years, more likely 5, possibly 3"

What will that Inflation be like? (Last question put to Greenspan) "Look to 1979-80"
