Stateman, OK here's some history for you. Bush was/is for drilling in Anwar.Pelosi/ Reid act like it would be the end of the world. Haven't scene anythingfrom the democratically controlled congress to adress the oil issue. Buy the way, oil prices skyrocketed under their watch. Maybe the speculatorsknow these jerks won't drill ocs or anywhere for that matter.

Apprazeur 06:21:44 PM Aug 04 2008 Report This! INFLATION IS EATING US ALIVE.RAISE THE RATES!!!!!!!!!!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"EATING YOU ALIVE AT UNDER 6%"??? LOL LOL LOL YOU'RE PROBLEM IS YOU'RE MORE THAN LIKELY EATING TOO MUCH PERIOD. IF YOU WANT TO BE EATEN ALIVE BY INFLATION JUST GO BACK TO THE 1970S AND JIMMY CARTER'S 18% INFLATION. CONSIDER YOURSELF FORTUNATE. THE REAL MONSTER LURKING BEHIND INFLATION IS THE END OF AMERICAN ECONOMIC PRIMACY AND THE DEPRESSION WHICH YOU'RE NOW GOING INTO. AMERICANS ARE SITTING ON A FINANCIAL TIME BOMB--OUR BANKING SYSTEM--AND DON'T KNOW IT. DEFLATION IS THE REAL PROBLEM AND YOU DON'T DARE RAISE RATES WITH 5.7% UNEMPLOYMENT FACING YOU UNLESS YOU WANT OBAMA ELECTED.

Al1pa 07:15:03 AM Aug 04 2008 Report This! Lowered interest rates is what allowed the DEADBEATS to buy into the American dream, which turned out to be a nightmare. A DEADBEAT is a DEADBEAT and you can't change the stripes on a zebra. Giving loans to people that don't pay their bills is nuts. All that happened is, a lot of Wall Street brokers and banks got filthy rich off the backs of good people.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------AND THE BIGGEST DEADBEATS EVER ELECTED TO THE PRESIDENCY, DUBYA AND HIS DAD GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH. BOTH TERRIBLE POLITICIANS AND TERRIBLE BUSINESSMEN WHO HAVE BROUGHT DEATH AND DESTRUCTION TO COUNTLESS MILLIONS. THE WHOLE FAMILY BELONGS BEFORE THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE.

HSBC, French and German banks are really going to take it in the ear. They are sitting on mountains of worthless assets, but they have the advantage of being big investors in Asia and the emerging markets. They have a whoopy cushion to absorb the shock.Unfortunately, the same cannot be said by most of the holders of subprime and Alt-A related investments in the USA. This is the big question mark nobody in the financial press or the business talk shows is prepared to investigate in detail. Bankers who know their business do indeed realize where the "bottomless pit" ends, but they aren't about to tell you. Especially, since they continue to raid the Federal candy store (aka the DISCOUNT WINDOW), and then sit on THE PUBLIC'S MONEY, refusing to lend to individuals and to businesses. That is a prescription for more than a depression. It is a prescription for REVOLUTION.
