#36, Your take on the Constitution is completely backward.
The 10th amendment is pretty clear. What isn’t in the rest of the document is reserved for the states or the people, not the other way around.
It is a restriction on government, not a restriction on the people.
It is to protect the people from the government, not a way to keep the people beholden or dependent to it.
Where did you hear such nonsense?
If u have 5 bucks in your wallet, u have more money than the USA. Unless u have more debt than the 14.5 Trillion.
The USA is a Ponzi scheme at this point.
#36–msbpodcast==Excellent post. Nice phrasing to highlight the liebertard nonsense that government is like a business or a family. Of course, anything is like anything else in some respect but a business CEO is no more a natural fit for government office/elected office than anyone else.
Just more BS that passes as dogma for two many.
I post to balance/oppose the completely irrelevant comment by Loser at #41. What he says is correct, but totally irrelevant to what you posted. Like Pedobreath, Loser loves to post just by number, so I assume he put the wrong number falsely maligning your excellent post.
Sad when that happens.
#36 If governments aren’t supposed to make money, how would they pay for all those wonderful things you say they pay for?
Oy!
#37 I missed the part were MS, unix or using open source os’s/programs was a comie thing. Do you imply that there are no US open source initiatives? Bold.
And again, you made my point. The tools to be all that you can digitally be were there long before mac spoon fed it to you. Watching trailers, movies and play computer games or emulations of old and new games on my TV or a projector from a computer? Easily done with win95, only that you had to wait until winme to have decent download speeds. A personal cloud could be done on Win2k.
Good to see “liberal” truth being so proud of their ignorance.
And thank again for showing your ignorance in the Boimedial field. Doctors also used winmobile 2002 (not even 2003) to watch dicom images or access ris/his databases & create either voice or written reports on the go on their pda’s or winmobile phones. The fact that you hype your mac products is to feel vindicated by your choice. Not to mention mac was able to do those thing 8 years after the fact.
And large scale biomedic operations do not use mac precisely because of their closed environment, high hardware costs and planned obsolescence OS. Oh, and the fact that they do nothing that can’t be done in any other platform. They use for some time (since win2k, who knew!) either Windows w2k or xp (no vista nor 7, too maclike) or Linux. Before, they used Unix.
And when it comes to costs, the industry rather prefers using minicomputers than macs. That’s for you to illustrate yourself.
Michio Kaku uses pc tablets.
Your doctors and researchers use mac for low level things that, again, can be done on windows or andriod. The only difference is not work but “coolness”; pretty important when doing scientific work.
BTW, how are those US mac plants working for you? Oh, that’s right! Steve is a Chinese comrade. Look forward to your next chinese shiny object while the US goes to the tank. You’ll feel warm & fuzzy while everything collapses. Don’t you take those earbuds off.
Grow up.
#38 You contradict yourself. Is bad to use products from non-american companies but is wise to put your money in non-american banks. What’s that, Romulan logic?
#40 The argument of a good observer. Examples abound here. Right now, #38 excels at showing his pride. So much, he seems to have lost his head in the process
Nah, to be a macfan is to have lost ones head long before.
#43 The master of nonsensical rhetorics hath spoken. Long live Dumbbo the Dogmatic!
#42 Indeed
One thing about Apple products – they are costly and expensive – yet represent good value for your money
You will seldom hear anyone complaining that their cash was thrown out of the windows and that they wasted their hard earned money on an Apple product
#30 bobbo I have a few simple questions. Where are all Apple computers made? How much of Apple profits are off shore and stay off shore? When was the last time Apple made a computer in the US? How is this different than GE? What is the most profitable part of GM and where is it located? How many Americans work there?
There are a lot of American Companies doing well but a lot of them are doing it in large part somewhere else.
#47–do-ill==you ask:
#30 bobbo I have a few simple questions. Where are all Apple computers made? /// I don’t know.
How much of Apple profits are off shore and stay off shore?/// I don’t know.
When was the last time Apple made a computer in the US? /// I don’t know.
How is this different than GE? /// I don’t know.
What is the most profitable part of GM and where is it located? /// I think its GM Financial, their arm that finances cars if not other consumer loans as well? Probably located at a drop box in Delaware?
How many Americans work there?/// I don’t know.
There are a lot of American Companies doing well but a lot of them are doing it in large part somewhere else. /// So, what’s your point?
My point at #30 which you have missed totally is that US Corps should pay US taxes and the notion that they need tax breaks in order to provide jobs is just a lie. You know what a lie is don’t you do-ill? If not, just read half of MikeN’s posts. For some reason, he loves them.
FYI…
“Up until 1992, all Apple Macintosh computers were assembled in Fremont, California. After that, manufacturing was moved to Elk Grove, CA.
Today, according to Apple’s most recent 10-K, “Final assembly of the Company’s products is currently performed in the Company’s manufacturing facility in Ireland, and by external vendors in California, Texas, the People’s Republic of China (“China”), the Czech Republic and the Republic of Korea (“Korea”).”

#50, That’s filarious. GE buys a bunch of green vehicles to take advantage of the tax incentive (and keep GM in business) and liberals scream about them not paying taxes.
If they just froze government spending at current levels, it would save 9.5 trillion dollars over ten years. So all of the supposed budget cuts being talked about right now are actually big spending increases.
Hmm… A company who’s CEO and creator will die soon. I wonder why they might be stashing up loads of cash? Could it be that they expect Apple to take a HUGE nose dive when he finally dies.
What can you even DO with $76 x 10^9?
Apple should buy AT&T!
The solution is simple: the US government has to sart selling iPhones and iPads
According to Zero Hedge, countries outside of the U.S. dumped 74 billion dollars in U.S. Treasuries, most of it over the weekend:
“Over the weekend, we observed the perplexing sell off of $56 billion in US Treasurys courtesy of weekly disclosure in the Fed’s custodial account (source: H.4.1) and speculated if this may be due to an asset rotation, under duress or otherwise, out of bonds and into stocks, to prevent the collapse of the global ponzi (because when the BRICs tell the IMF to boost its bailout capacity you know it is global). We also proposed a far simpler theory: “the dreaded D-day in which foreign official and private investors finally start offloading their $2.7 trillion in Treasurys with impunity (although not with the element of surprise – China has made it abundantly clear it will sell its Treasury holdings, the only question is when), has finally arrived.” In hindsight the Occam’s Razor should have been applied. Little did we know 5 short days ago just how violent the reaction by China would be (both post and pre-facto) to the Senate decision to propose a law for all out trade warfare with China. Now we know – in the week ended October 12, a further $17.7 billion was “removed” from the Fed’s custodial Treasury account, meaning that someone, somewhere is very displeased with US paper, and, far more importantly, what it represents, and wants to make their displeasure heard loud and clear.

Undoubtedly, the Chinese and other countries have recently discovered that Italy and Greece, with smaller debt to income ratios than the United States, are less riskier and carry a higher rate of return. This is because, unlike the US, the Rothschild/Rockefeller bond rating agencies have trashed their country’s debt ratings, forcing them to pay a much higher interest rate than U.S. Treasuries. Hey, if you take the risk, you might as well earn the reward!
