#2 > Facing lackluster growth and a high jobless rate, the US Federal Reserve on Tuesday vowed to renew crisis-era measures that pumped hundreds of billions of dollars into ailing markets to prevent the economy from falling into another recession.

It's socialism! These aren't effects of TARP spending, we need to spend EVEN MORE.

Madness on a stick.

#4 I'm tired of hearing the lie "Trade Deficits"
Example,
You shop for groceries at (Say) Krogers, what have you sold Krogers?
NOTHING
Damn your trade deficit with Krogers sucks.
(Or Wal Mart, Costco, etc)
COMPLETELY IGNORING the cash you used as "Trade".
