Wal-Mart: Our shoppers are 'running out of money'

I don't think you're supposed to just post your whole weeks list all at once.

quite a week---gas thru the roof, housing thru the floor, dollar shredded and dumped, risk of runaway inflation and double dip, consumer confidence crashed...

america can't take much more, time for a change at the top

if something isn't done now to restructure our budgets, then social security, medicare and medicaid (as well as our state pensions) will simply not be there for the next generation in their present forms

and it's now seven hundred and one days since hurryup harry's senate printed a budget

service on the debt, mere interest alone, is fast approaching a full trillion dollars per year

leadership, anyone?

Most of the poor I know aren't that poor, and many choose to be poor.

vote obama, 2012!

you're not that poor!

and if you are, you probably chose it!

LOL!
 
dear president slasher, if you wanna invest billions of dollars we don't have trying to harness the power produced by the fluttering of billions of butterfly wings, then match every newly printed dollar of green with a buck of bolstering traditional energy, as well---oil, drilling, refining, coal, electrical, natural gas, nuclear...

the latter, president slash, deliver with them not only mega units of saleable energy in dire demand in every nation on earth but thousands of good paying, secure jobs in addition which happen also to be PRODUCTIVE

instead, slash, you are seen by americans again and again actively attempting to KILL our best industries and the highly professional jobs that derive from em

if you don't reprioritize, president slash, america's karma will run over your dogma

ie, seeya at the polls, progressives
 
two point seven trillion dollars of public trust committed to treasuries and mortgage backed junk---undiversified...

run away inflation threatening a double dip...

housing, which brought us here, still no basement in sight...

consumers crunched on every corner...

the dollar dumped from bangkok to the brics...

entitlements unsustainably upside down and teetering, with no budget in 700 days...

just a game

pathetic

seeya at the polls, progressives
 
You speak politically right?

Or were you mistaken...

What does any of that have to do with the price of eggs in china (or the price of oil)

Yes I know that stuff was coming

IN fact I knew it two years ago

Was reffering to oil

Oh well.

IT's all just a game right?

I mean you have an election to win soon

Not actually solve the problem.

OH well.

Have fun blamenesians.
 
Hmm, so run it by me why I hate the poor.

show me where I said you hate the poor.....I have said that if anybody hates the poor, it will be conservatives, in response to others saying liberals hate the poor....
 
vote obama, 2012!

LOL!

High school dropouts....they are choosing to be poor, and are too ignorant to realize it...
 
LMAO! You never heard of trading power? How about storing energy?

Apparently you are new here, I know a lot about energy issues, been bat**** obsessed about it since the carter days.
Where were you in the carter days?
You got energy storage ideas? Let's hear them....
 
None of this will effec the price of a globally PRICED AND TRADED COMMODITY!

What? Restricting supply won't affect the price of oil?

Restricting the supply of any comodity will cause an increased price. Even one "globally priced and traded".

Those evil speculators believe that it does. Which, of course, causes them to buy future contracts in the hopes of making money and causing the price to be higher.
 
Again

reality

None of this will effec the price of a globally PRICED AND TRADED COMMODITY!

that's a good point, everyone knows that supply has nothing to do with price, and that futures traders never try to figure out what the supply situation will look like years from now.

Drilling in the gulf or ANWR ain't gonna bring the price of gas down.
 
no. "volts". as in "Chevy Volts" or "Nissan Leafs"

how many electric cars are selling; what percent of the market are they? what is the demand for these highly subsidized vehicles?



got it in....... 5?



yup. had they only waited for ole Henry Ford to come along they could have had a horseless carriage for much less.

right now the "alternative cars" are a toy; much like the original cars. they are something for the wealthy to show off - but the demand and the price are not currently conducive for them to become a mass-transit vehicle.



you know, it's hilarious, but this is the exact same example that Thomse Sowell uses when he destroys the argument that international free trade ("offshoring") increases unemployment. :D

That's about the weakest response I ever heard.

Capitalize product names in your posts in order to prevent misunderstandings.

And reply to posts with relevant responses.

lithium batteries have dropped in price by two-third since I first started pricing packs.

If it wasn't for all those silly rich people and their toys, Ford would have had no demand for his product. For an "economy" guy, your understanding of the concept of early adopters and their influence on demand is lacking. Or not.

And you never came up with a cite for your 1894 date(no typo).

I know you have a job to do, but you should stick with those subjects you have some command of.

Stick with complex economics, where your charges will simply take your word for it.

On the subject of alternative energy and transportation, your propaganda is showing.:2wave:

Price, IMO, is the smaller issue. It is COST that is the larger issue....what does it COST us to subsidize oil and make its daughter products artificially low in price? We "police" the Middle East on behalf of rich Arab countries so we can have continued access to their oil. The govts of those countries should be writing checks to our military, big checks.
 
that's a good point, everyone knows that supply has nothing to do with price, and that futures traders never try to figure out what the supply situation will look like years from now.

And everyone knows opec will cut production if we up ours to the point it keeps prices fixed.

Oh and you are aware that the Saudis have been injecting water into their wells to speed up produright, right?

So one day saltwater is gonna start suddenly coming up instead of oil.

They'll know they're out when this happens. Completely out. Surprise!
 
Was reffering to oil

few care to what you do or don't refer

AMERICA is refering to runaway inflation, two point seven trillion dollars of UNDIVERSIFIED crap, the dollar, housing, jobs, budgets, debt, entitlement reform, pensions, consumer confidence...

I mean you have an election to win soon

yup

Not actually solve the problem

hr1...

Ryans plan lol?

Can you lol?

Getting to politics, neither Obama, or Ryan really tackle anything... Certainly not their approval numbers

I tell you what

Gives Obama a nice card, populist (especially that 6 grand senior thing, gold)

But that's my favorite thing, I don't support either side

Have fun on your partisan merrygoround!

The rest of the world is laughing!

At both sides lol!

Stay up.
 
The govts of those countries should be writing checks to our military, big checks.

tell it to barack the slasher

tell his secretary of state, "pushed over the edge" by all the "indecisiveness" and the "amateurs"
