House GOP blocks bill to extend jobless benefits

Are we still talking about the extension of jobless benefits?
 
LOL, I ran a 200 million dollar a year business and employed over a thousand employees.

Im not calling BS but more than once you have display only a basic understanding of fiscal policy. I hope you were not involved in anything to do with money.

No, every subject ends with Conservative complaining about President Obama, steroids and taxes going up.

You have provided no evidence of that statement at all nor even a minute understanding of fiscal policy. You obviously don't know how to run a business, read a P&L, or balance sheet, nor do you understand all the taxes and costs of hiring people. Your knowledge of private business is suspect at best.

Just trying to get all those Obama supporters to actually get the facts and to stop buying the rhetoric. Doing my best to educate people like you. Some choose to learn whereas others don't thus remain absolute failures. Which one are you?

Ok, dont get all upset and being silly. I just am not convinced you understand basic finances. You said once that banks lend the money they had from savings. That it was a direct relationship. Its not. One peice of evidence that you do not understand basic banking 101. If your going to run a $200million business with thousand employees you should know basic banking practices.

Someone who knows when you use the word rhetoric in every other post that they drank some coolaid yourself.

I never said that banks lend money they had from savings, they lend the money they GET from savings and pay you an interest rate for the use of that money. They also get money from the other sources as well but savings is a key source of funds.

It does appear that you don't know how banks work so prove that banks don't lend money they get from individual savings?

If I do will you conceed that I understand banks and you dont?

No, because you will ignore the fact that banks lend money they get from individuals depositing money into their banks into individual savings accounts. Where do you think that money goes?

So, based upon your statement, if a bank has $100 in savings deposits it has $100 to give out in loans? Right!
 
Is that your final answer?

My final answer is that banks get their funds from a number of sources and individual bank deposits are a major source of funds for lending.

OK this is getting painful. Just start reseraching the federal reserve (The feds is wrong) its the Fed. The small difference is that Feds implies it is run by the federal government and it is not.

I work closely with the banking industry. I consult on many issues including federal monitary policy, regulations and on occasion pull out a crystal ball. I was heavlily involved in trying to stop the Durbin act and work closely with the SEC, CUNA and several other financial support organizations. I have been very busy in the merger and aquisition of over 300 small banks and credit unions. In fact we are loosing about one credit union a day and have been for a few years. Expect it to continue. I am currently involved in helping medium and small banks prepair for the latest of two rounds of regulations involving the fair credit act in regards to risk based lending and the go green act that will require a reduction in papaer statments. Trust me I understant banks.

Look, there is no question that banks get money from the Federal Reserve but they also get a lot of money from individual depositors that they use to lend to others. If you work with banks you would understand that as well.

What do you think the Federal Reserve is, a central bank?

What is this argument about? Of course banks get money from the Fed but they also get money from individuals who give their money to the banks to put into various investment options all of which are used by the banks to loan money. This entire discussion is nothing more than a diversion from the disaster that is in the WH.

You were very critical of my knowledge of business and banking. I was making a point. You are quick to be critical of others you know very little about. Before you spout off about someone not having a clue you may want to consider how little you know them.

You have shown me zero evidence that you understand how to run a business but you have shown that you really don't know how banks operate. Carry on making a fool of yourself.

Pot calling kettle black. :roll: I suggest you take your HUGE amount of knowledge AND understanding and call your Senators. I'll tell you now that youve managed to make very foolish statements that are VERY ignorant on this forum. You ATTACK other people on here like some mad dog.

Look man you dont know everything. So keep yourself in check and try to understand each others view. Im pretty sure there are people on here that can out do youself in business AND class regarding posting.

There probably are and they call themselves Conservatives. I don't think a Libertarian has a clue.

:slapme: Look that works in your Hannity learning play-pen but not in the real world. If you want to TALK about things instead of insulting people to the point where someone has to step in and take away you 'ball' like a unruly kid at recess. Fine.

If you acted like a mature person regarding posting, you wouldnt be giving your Party a black eye.

Now PLEASE... take a deep breath.... log off for an hour...... and then comeback and we can DISCUSS things without getting personal.
