Inflation Rate Is Worst in 17 Years

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Higher costs for energy and food last year pushed
inflation up by the largest amount in 17 years, even though prices
generally remained tame outside of those two areas. Meanwhile,
industrial output was flat in December, more evidence of a significant
slowdown in the economy. Consumer prices rose by 4.1 percent for all of
2007, up sharply from a 2.5 percent increase in 2006, the Labor
Department said Wednesday. Consumers felt the pain when they filled up
their gas tanks or shopped for groceries. Prices for both energy and
food shot up by the largest amount since 1990.

Harry,
Since I know you are not just trolling for a long political argument, so
you can hurl childish insults, maybe it would make more since just to
ask if anyone does not know how to read a newspaper or News web site.

That one you won't have to cut and paste every news article, and
everyone will know how to keep up with current events.

It will make your life so much easier.

I'm tellin' ya....we should've invaded Saudi Arabia instead of eye-rock, and
just taken their damned oil. At least we could've been honest about that
mission. Put the whole damned country under new management.

Speaking of SA, did you see our fearless leader begging in the Middle
East for the Saudis to drill more? If memory serves, oil was around $25
a barrel when President Idiot presumed office in 2001.

I was busy getting a stomach ache over the real reason for his visit: To

we'll regret that at some point in the future, it's a matter of *when*.

and

According to some sources, this is precisely the reason they want our
weapons: To protect the royals (who *are* the "government") from their own
people.

We once sold weapons to Iran to help "protect" us. We gave weapons to the
Taliban. We sell weapons to Pakistan. It's all very stupid when viewed in
the context of history, which our current president seems to know nothing
about.

The problem is that there are arms sales whores all over the world, and
the purveyors have no interest in breaking the cycle. The Saudis have
the bucks and the oil to buy whatever they want from whomever they want.

I really thought that after the debacle in Vietnam, we might have
learned some lessons about proliferating weaponry and warfare. Nah.

Sorry, Bilious, but the Democrats do not control Congress. They have
simple majorities. When you control Congress, you have supermajorities,
enough votes in your own party to control legislation and to overturn
presidential vetoes.

Not to worry. Next January, the Democrats will control the White House
and increase their simple majorities in Congress.

Unless your write-in campaign for Zell Miller or some other lunatic
succeeds.

What economic policies there are in place now are those of the Bush
Administration.

Bad news for the GOP. So sad.

and just taken their damned oil. At least we could've been honest about
that mission. Put the whole damned country under new management.


Speaking of SA, did you see our fearless leader begging in the Middle
East for the Saudis to drill more? If memory serves, oil was around $25
a barrel when President Idiot presumed office in 2001.

I remember the discussion earlier of high oil prices being blamed on the
speculators in the trading pits.



I remember that, too. It's back. The word "investors" is in the sentence
below. Who are these "investors"?


Oil Falls Sharply on Economic Worries
January 15 2008
"Oil futures dropped sharply Tuesday as a dismal retail sales report
confirmed a growing view among investors that the economy is slowing and
that demand for energy is likely to fall.

Inflation Rate Is Worst in 17 Years
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Higher costs for energy and food last year pushed
inflation up by the largest amount in 17 years, even though prices
generally remained tame outside of those two areas. Meanwhile,
industrial
output was flat in December, more evidence of a significant slowdown
in
the economy. Consumer prices rose by 4.1 percent for all of 2007, up
sharply from a 2.5 percent increase in 2006, the Labor Department said
Wednesday. Consumers felt the pain when they filled up their gas tanks
or
shopped for groceries. Prices for both energy and food shot up by the
largest amount since 1990.
I'm tellin' ya....we should've invaded Saudi Arabia instead of
eye-rock, and
just taken their damned oil. At least we could've been honest about
that
mission. Put the whole damned country under new management.

He's even selling them weapons!

Did you see him marching around with the slimey Saudis with the sword on
his shoulder?


A sword on his shoulder??? Oh no....a re-run of the flight suit on the
aircraft carrier pose.



He was marching with the slimey Saudis in some sort of procession. You
think maybe he was being inducted into the local masonic lodge?

The Harry and Joe circle jerk continues..

Actually the opening line was: 'Under Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat
controlled Congress'
Sorry, Bilious, but the Democrats do not control Congress. They have
simple majorities. When you control Congress, you have supermajorities,
enough votes in your own party to control legislation and to overturn
presidential vetoes.

Not to worry. Next January, the Democrats will control the White House
and increase their simple majorities in Congress.

Unless your write-in campaign for Zell Miller or some other lunatic
succeeds.

What economic policies there are in place now are those of the Bush
Administration.

Bad news for the GOP. So sad.

They control congress. They have a majority.

Thanks, Forrest.

Jesus. You really are dumb as a post.

They don't control? They have more votes. You are the one who is either
dumb or specializing in lies.

Yeah. And I'm doing my best not to participate in it, thank you.
I slip once in a while, but there's a huge difference between hoping
to find some boating related discussion at this site and cranking out
one troll-post after another.

Wonder what they'd think over on the "libs.r.us" or "bush.for.king"
sites if I just started posting a bunch of boating related threads? My
bet is that would be just as silly and out of place as all the
political trolls are on this boating site.

Yeah, yeah. "You can ignore them".

That's like trying to ignore the litter after the recycling truck
rolls over at the corner. :-)

We once sold weapons to Iran to help "protect" us. We gave weapons to the

Lots of things seem "stupid" in the Monday morning quarterbacking of
history. You have to remember that previous policies and actions were
based on the conditions at that time and the inertia of foreign
relationships don't change overnight.

Right now is not Monday morning. Conditions do not warrant selling more
weapons to Saudi Arabia, many of whose citizens are as crazy and ****ed off

Sorry, but I cannot envision President Hillary walking hand in hand with

It's too bad Bush didn't try a bit of sword swallowing or learn a useful

If I'm not mistaken, Congress has to approve the sale. Surely the Democrat
