They aren't going to have time to play with the gun laws.

The District may try again, since violence did go down there with the control laws - and they have the Statehood issue.

True, they won't have time, but all it takes is one vote being different among the Supremes and things can change. An activist court, scares me as much as obama, maybe more.

That, indeed is very possible. Supreme court justices sit for life; if you are worried about changes to gun laws that's where the most controversial and contentious rulings will go.

Agreed, but there must be a law, or a lower court ruling to challenge first! And as for time, they will have plenty of time take away our Constitutional rights. As the leaders of the Congress, Reid and Pelosi set the agenda. They'll make the time!

Show-Me -- I'm sorry we hijacked your thread :embarrest:

I would hope the Dems learned their lessons from the past, but let's be honest here. They have a record of caving in to the far left's idology and I fear they will have enough power to quickly pass another AWB. It's a sure bet that Obama would sign any and all anti-firearm bills that crossed his desk.

I'm going to the gun show this weekend. I'll be collecting something I'm sure would make the Assult Weapons Ban list.

No they won't, new administration can't do the usual get on the ball action this time. There is no time with the economy. The focus of the transition will be the economy, everything else is going to park.

My TSP loan went through, thanks for the help.

I'm just curious, when they deduct the money from my bank, do they just put it in G? Or do they look at my contribution allocation and go with that?

 

[Silverbird]

It's by your contribution allocation.

 

[CapeChem]

I believe it is the allocation.

Good luck and thread hi-jacking allowed here.

Retirement Fund Director Seeks to Calm Workers' Nerves

[Administrators have a message for the nearly 4 million people who save for retirement in the TSP: Don't let this financial crisis freak you out.

The TSP is distributing a poster that shows a convoy of 18-wheelers snaking through very rocky and hilly territory.
But the road itself is smooth and relatively straight. "Stay in it for the long haul," the caption advises. :worried:

For the most part, investors have not let their anxiety get the best of them, the program's officials reported at a TSP board meeting yesterday.

"Our participants have done well. They have weathered the volatility in the market by not bailing out," said Renée Wilder, director of research and strategic planning.] :blink:

--- I want the POSTER, I wonder how we'll get the POSTER!!!:nuts:

 

[Silverbird]

A poster? Pleeeze. As if those who need reasurrance are going to be able to see it unless they overspend on distribution.

--- I want the POSTER, I wonder how we'll get the POSTER!!!:nuts:

A POSTER?? :blink: For the love of - - . They're spending money on manufacture and distribution of a poster. But they can't afford to give me 2.5 IFT's. And I feel like Dickens's Oliver Twist, "Please, sir, I want some more." Maybe Long's name is actually Limpkins or Bumble!

Argentina Default Looms, Pension Seizure Roils Market (Update1)

By James Attwood and Bill Faries

Oct. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Argentina's planned seizure of $29 billion of private pension funds stoked concern the nation is headed for its second default in a decade.

President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner's decision hurt markets already reeling from slumping commodity prices and slower growth. The retirement system, set up in 1994 to help bolster capital markets, owns about 5 percent of companies listed on the Buenos Aires stock exchange and 27 percent of shares available for public trading, data compiled by pension funds show.

Argentine bond yields soared above 24 percent before the announcement late yesterday, and the benchmark Merval stock index tumbled 11 percent. The last time the government sought to tap workers' savings to help finance debt payments was in 2001, just before it stopped servicing $95 billion of obligations.

Colin Powell Warns Of Coming Crisis “We Don’t Even Know About Right Now” Tuesday, Oct 21, 2008

[Colin Powell has made bizarre comments that echo the recent declaration by Democratic VP candidate Joe Biden that there will be an “international crisis” early into Barack Obama’s presidency that will test the new president by forcing him to make unpopular decisions.

Speaking on meet the press two days ago, Powell officially endorsed Obama and also made the following statement:

“The problems will always be there and there’s going to be a crisis which will come along on the 21st, 22nd of January that we don’t even know about right now.​

So I think what the President has to start to do is to start using the power of the oval office and the power of his personality to convince the American people and convince the world that America is solid, that America is going to move forward, we are going to fix our economic problems, we’re going to meet out overseas obligations.”​

Watch Powell make the comment at 2.35 into the following video:

Is Colin Powell referring to a theoretical crisis that could occur at any time? If so why does he choose a specific date, within the first two days after the inauguration? Also why does he refer to general problems that the new president will have to deal with in a separate context? We are already in an economic crisis, everyone knows that, so what new crisis is Powell talking about?]

The terrorist are already and have been planning since 9/11 I estimate 50,000 or greater because they will not get serious about border control. They are just waiting on the word. Then they will strike us and stun America well I say America what I mean is they will stun the Democrats (Socialist) and the Liberals (Communist). The real Americans have enough sense to know that it will happen. The others just want to bellyache about those people and their rights. Look out when the word is given America is in for a blood bath.
