It was disappointing to see Bernanke smirk and roll his eyes each time someone challenged the status quo--not just during Ron Paul's tirade. When Bernanke was announced to chair the Fed, I didn't know much about the guy and I was hoping he'd be more of a stand up type guy. I guess "hope" is...

Thanks, jwbrown77, for the article. I also enjoyed perusing through both the supporting and non-supporting comments. He's a very intriguing candidate at the very least. And as I continue to understand all the candidates better, Ron paul my the yardstick thus far. Edit: Not surprisingly...

HA! You tricked me too. Immediately I thought this was some topic regarding the Irvine Women Investment Club plastered all over craiglists... http://womensinvestclub.com/default.aspx

@ Laing_Lies: Maybe you are already married by now, but here's my inflation adjusted 2?. If you really feel the need to get married, I strongly suggest a prenup. Think of it as an insurance policy for the both of you. Just because you have auto-insurance, it doesn't mean you will be involved...

@ Trooper: No on both accounts and I wouldn't even claim to belonging to a party--just searching for the best candidate to represent me and I appreciate you asking. Actually my wife and I relocated from the upper Midwest to Irvine in Jan/2005 and were being deemed "bitter renters" after...

Thanks for asking this question, waiting2buylater. I, too, have the same question because I'm not sure what to do with my wife's 401k now that she's started with a new company this a few months ago. I thought I read something describing how the rules are changing in 2008 so that 401k funds can...

@ bishie: Thanks for the fantastic posts and I appreciate your insight. The more I think about it, I agree Ron Paul would be a great candidate however the American people are not likely to go with it. Hillary is viewed as the "complete opposite" of Little Bush in nearly every aspect and that...

@ EvaLSeraphim: By definition, the unemployed are simply folks who are without a job, capable of work, and actively seeking. The U.S. Department of Labor says the unemployed for 2006 is seven million. People who are destitute are something else entirely different than simply unemployed and no...

"If you offered 21 year olds the chance to opt out of social security, they're all going to do it. Guess how many of them will have any substantial amount saved for retirement?" @ jwbrown77: Would the number of people be about the same or maybe even fewer over time? The money is...

@ movingaround: To answer your question from what I've read and heard the past 18 hours is the idea to give everybody the ability to opt out of social security and medicare plans (which is most beneficial for the youth by putting tax dollars back into their pocket) and with the money that is...

@ movingaround: Doesn't violent crime drop significantly during economic prosperity? Obviously gun control isn't perfect in your eyes, but at least there are some controls in place because we aren't all running around like we're Mad Max. No matter what my top issue was, I think I would be...

Politics is all about the compromise, right? Surely we can agree there is no such thing as a "perfect candidate" in satisying everyone's definition; so let's say as a voter, you have a list of the top 100 things which should be improved in this country in order to get back on the "right path"...

Here's an interesting compilation video of Ron Paul quotes: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWfIhFhelm8">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWfIhFhelm8</a> Unfortunately, few people support a small government and fewer people will end up voting for someone like Paul. Paul's only chance may...
