#1 You'd think just in the number of czars created along with their staffs that DC would have into gone positive growth. On the other hand, that could have been offset by the number of journalist let go with the installation of direct fax lines to the White House Press office. /sarc off

#4 Looking at the projected total, 3.46 million vs the actual, 2.7 million loss is sobering.

I think at this point, anyone who still believes anything the government tells them about "saving" or "not costing" anything need to be shot for stupidity.

#6 Why is North Dakota different from the rest of us? A North Dakotan is smarter than the average bear. People there don't like the Kool Aid the rest of the country is addicted to.

#8 Why is North Dakota different from the rest of us?

Huge energy reserves, esp coal, and low population. Too bad the Obamanauts have vowed to destroy that.

#9 The problem: financial institutions refuse to loan money for payroll and inventory. Bailouts without rationalization of capitalization, make no sense. However, once the Big Four (with 60% of US savings deposits) have written down more of the Derivative paper that they hold (90% of the total), then the Fed will end their tight money policy. Yah, the Fed is the player piano of the Big Four.
