The largest economy in the world! We have the world's highest standard of living. So what more do you want you asshole??? All you do is rant and rave about how bad it is here in America from over there in Europe. You dimwit, how many people in America want to leave this country? Zero. That speaks for it all. Go get a fucking life and look at the positive side.<BR/><BR/>That's your queue Jymkata to flash the debt at this bozo. <BR/><BR/>We have every intention of leaving this country in 5 1/2 years (counting days) along with thousands of other expatriates.

Funny how rosy (fake) economic indicators always come out with Bernanke's cuts. If it's so rosy, why relax collateral requirements, extend the window, and cut rates like crazy? Let me guess, next month there will be a surprise big jump on unemployment which nobody expected. Once in a while they pull a fake to bring a phony rally to fleece the sheep.
