Taking boatloads of taxpayer money and dumping them down extremely inefficient, wasteful and failing companies doesn't work? damn.

I'm not a moral relativist.

Ding Ding Ding. Natural rights exist as much as unicorns or leprechauns. As in, they don't. The people collectively determine that they want certain freedoms and are willing to fight to obtain them. In our case, a group of well-educated, idealistic, and determined land owners 300 years ago...

Did he say anything false? Fair enough. We won't know until we see detailed statements across a wide time range, as we established, that's impossible. By investing in Europac? Where was the risk other than what the fund was actually investing in? Did those angry investors short something...

Instead of a hitpiece I'd call it more of a public service. I'm glad someone's drawing attention to those portfolio losses over at Europac. Even if Schiff turns out to be right and the economy collapses tomorrow and the dollar is worthless, I'm still glad people like Mish are always questioning...

It bothers me that we had to get 9 pages into this thread before someone gave this answer.

Natural rights? Where are those? Who says we have them? Where are they written down? Who is enforcing them? I saw a video of a cop shooting a kid in the train station in Oakland on video. Who was there to enforce his "natural rights"?

He didn't slander Schiff! He made a very detailed, very thorough point about why he was wrong. I thought it was the free market that encouraged competition? If you were running a hedge fund, and your competitor lost his customers 50% of their portfolio on faulty claims, then why the hell...

They used the same focus group for the entire length of the primaries...that was the point...

What entity restricts government growth? Who exactly is going to make sure government doesn't overstep its bounds? How do you know it doesn't have enough power to benefit companies? So how do you fix it? Take it back how? Agreed. So lay out your plan for us to follow to attain more...

shhhhhhh....your grandmother is a poor technologically illiterate old woman with no say in politics or the direction of her country...and we can only blame the televison :p

I'm not bashing Pete. He's a good guy. Spot on about the housing bust. Wrong for right now about commodities and the dollar. We'll see if history vindicates him a 2nd time. I'm more interested in why people are so willing to believe everything he says and label all of his critics as sleazes or...

Sounds like a personal problem to me. That's why I can't stand most people. There are literally millions of us and a very small segment of the country is ruining us. And we let them do it. How ridiculous is that? We have no one but ourselves to blame. So if people are that gullible and that...

So you define "freedom" to be the "freedoms" that are explicitly granted in the U.S. Constitution's Bill of Rights, a document that is largely ignored today and completely arbitrary and is subject to change at any time? You can keep your definition of freedom. So the answer to my question...

You're blaming the media for a problem that was not of their creating.
