"Dollar depreciation leads to higher inflation and ultimately forces foreign creditors to question their rationale and indeed their sanity for continuing purchases of U.S. Treasuries." -Bill Gross
Signs continue that European markets are getting tired. The Spanish and Italian stock markets, big beneficiaries of the sharp decline in their bond yields over the past few months are falling to the lowest since Feb 1.

We would all be better off if liberals were better at creating jobs than diagrams/taking other people’s money.

FS; it ain’t your money pall. “We the people” made the society that allowed all that wealth to be created and you to get a chunk of it into your pockets. If you don’t believe me go to Zimbabwe and try making it there Mr. Self-maid. So we the people have a right to demand that you pay your dues for participating in the greatest moneymaking nation on earth.

We’d all be better off if dickweeds would quit shooting us in the collective nuts with moronically wrong statements such as that uttered by FS, above.
Republicans have run this country into the ground since the latter half of the 20th century. Here you go, shithead:

We’d also be better off if “conservatives” would quit their ruinous borrow and spend ways:

a quote from the above source let’s us in on the obvious – what government has become here in the USA:
One frustrated moderate Democratic senator asks to remain anonymous so he can speak freely about his legislative education. “I’m surprised at how much of our time is spent trying to divide up the spoils between various economic interests. I had no idea. I thought we’d be focused on civil liberties, on education policy, energy policy and so on,” the senator says. “The fights down here can be put in two or three categories: The big greedy bastards against the big greedy bastards; the big greedy bastards against the little greedy bastards; and some cases even the other little greedy bastards against the other little greedy bastards.”

@mathman: good observation. Truth in a different way. “Divide up the spoils” spells it out pretty clearly.
