  • @RenegadeTimes The dictator Fidel Castro robed more than $1 billion plus of the wealth of tiny nation Cuba telling the people that it was for the good of the people in the name of communism.

  • @RenegadeTimes 33 trillion ain't what it used to be, unless she has it in commodities or physical gold. All fiat currencies are positioned to fail.

  • move to san antonio, realty call center 210-286-9289

  • Out of money ? Not these folks. 1% of the elite's own 41% of the planet - 26 people own 21 % of the planet -85% of the people in the world own nothing ~ and the best for last ...drum roll please ...

    The Lizard Queen of England is worth 33 trillion ,,you heard that right ..33 TRILLION !

    And people live in tent's, or are withour food around the world ? Are we "getting it yet " ? The international ruling elites want it all and are well on their way of doing just that. ! The U.N. racket !

  • Are you the factmaster? Do you decide what is fact? If someone draws a conclusion, is that conclusion automatically disqualified as a fact?

    Facts can be drawn from others.

  • Borrowing money defers taxation to the future and unjustly burdens future generations. ICN's mission is not dedicated to Omegasher. If you don't like our channel then you are free to not watch. All news editors have bias because they decide which stories make the broadcast and which do not. You under estimate people to discern the facts of a news story from opinion. You obviously could tell fact from opinion. You can disagree with our editorial point of view, but don't be offended.

  • Please don't take it so personally. There are four things that can be done when a program runs short of funding. 1) Raise taxes 2) cut benefits 3) borrow money 4) cut other programs to free up funds.  The easy way out is to borrow money and push the burden out to the future generation. We described this as the cowardly option because the other choices will have short term consequences for politicians. With the size of Medicare the only realistic options are to raise taxes or cut benefits.

  • First don't put words in my mouth. I am in no way saying what you have asserted. You have no understanding of my opinion on medicare. What I am saying is that to say these people are cowards for not raising taxes or cutting benefits makes no sense. Do you want them to cut benefits and raise taxes? That is what your statement implies. I could go further into analyzing your response but I make a point of not getting into semantic arguments with people who insist on using non sequiturs.

  • Famous investor disclaimer ... "past results is not an indicator of future performance".  The variables today have never existed before in the US market. Debt, deficit, unfunded obligations, etc.. The assumption that markets always go up in the long term may no longer apply. As mentioned in an earlier exchange with another viewer on medicare, the U.S. has been borrowing trillions of dollars over the past decades to maintain an inflated standard of living and that bubble may have popped.
