C.M. Burns C.M. Burns: Just to be clear, I'm not a communist, nor am I any shade of Marxist. I'm a Libertarian-Socialist! ![[B-o]](./images/smilies/drinkup.gif "Drink up")
Po-TAY-to, Po-TAH-to
$1: I'm just pointing out that Capitalism will ALWAYS fail us.

| Wow, this has to be one of your most clueless posts yet Burns. I guess that means I've hit a nerve! I know you're not all that down with math, but let me explain it to you. I guess you're not down with the facts: Today's headlines: At the open, the Dow Jones plummeted more than 8%, falling below th... |

The more we talk about this, the more it hurts Dion.

American stocks are down around 25% this month, or eight trading days.
By any definition, this is a crash. |

| Freddie and Fannie are complicit in this crisis but are a small reason for the meltdown. There are many other reasons, not least of which was the Bush administration's decision - well, the SEC's decision - to allow the investment banks to lever up their balance sheets to insane levels. |

| If things go south, we're on the hook for that money, Ruez. Spin it anyway you want, it amounts to a $25 billion liability. One day the banks are doing just fine, according to Harper, the next he's giving them $25 billion. One day he says that everything is fine, the next he's jabbering about a cri... |

Since Marx believed that surplus value appropriated from labor is the source of profits, he concluded that the rate of p... |

Actually, I have to agree with Blair on this one. Harper shouldn't mention Dion's fumble. That should be left to his surrogates. Rathe... |
