    Yeah, but he looks like he is 110 right now. At the very least he should get a hair cut and a boob reduction.

    The safest investments are PG and JNJ. That's where I would put millions if I had 'em.

    That's a lot better than most of us that had money in money markets that has dwindled from a high of over 6% to just over 2%.

    I got the rate at BOA on a 100k cd.

    That probably is a reason that they don't want to make loans at 5.9%

    The thing is, if a higher mandatory rate of return was offered to people for savings, money market and even checking, you'd see more people saving and more banks with money to spend.

    I mean seriously, what incentive do I have to save when the rate of return is so low? Why would I give my money to a bank when I'm not even getting a damned toaster for opening up the account.

    There needs to be an incentive to invest in an institution that makes money off of its investors.

    True Wisdom, i agree. I think they should start getting Jessie Ventura groomed to run. He is popular allready with the people plus i bet that the WWE will put up alot of publicity for him as a former pro wrestler. We know the military will back him (former navy seal).

    He has already said more than enough to keep him from ever getting elected.

    His gubernatorial debut as mayor of Minnesota is probably already done enough to stifle any chances of getting elected to a higher office.

    yea he should tow the line. How dare him have an opinion of his own.
    I bet if the guy was calling the ousting of mossadegh a conspiracy i bet there would also be alot of people calling it nonsense. Sorry i changed my mind of jessi ventura. If he can think outside the box and cant stay true to the official word (whether we know it to be true or false) and believe that government is god then why would i would for a crazy guy like that?
    Ok ill vote for mccain and another 100 years in iraq:D

    You should vote for Mickey Mouse. He'd have a better shot than Jesse the Body.
