I have more confidence in Warren Buffet when it comes to the economy than the president who is just trying to keep people from freaking out.

They are comparing the block hours from last fall to the increase we have this summer. Well of course, we are going to have a massive block hour reduction if we compare it to last September's schedule. We won't know anything until those fall numbers come out. It could be a huge decrease/increase/ stay the same? No one knows. We just have to wait and see what the Fall schedule looks like.
Just my two cents, which isn't really worth much.

The same argument could be made for the mccain quote. It could also be used for some of the things bush said toward the end, when it was obvious things were getting worse. Not arguing for or against these politicians, just pointing out that some are praised while others are blasted, for doing the exact same thing

All these stimulus bills are a load of Bull. When you inject 2 Trillion dollars into the economy (Money fresh off the printing press) you did'nt create any value, you just inflated the currency. They are basically giving out money that isnt worth anything, its DEVALUED.
Which brings me to another point... the US is BROKE. NO MONEY, ZIP! And with all thats going on in the market, foreign investors are running away from Wall Street and this Fiat monetary system. I'd get ready for hyperinflation and a collapsed dollar.

They aren't just printing more money, they are getting(well borrowing as it will have to paid back with interest) the money from government securities such as Bonds, Treasury bills and notes.
Outside shoring up the banks (If a large bank collapse's it will cause massive panic), the stimulus bills won't do much.

Let's not talk politics...I'd hate for this Comair thread to die before Comair does!
Note: I don't know if you were talking politics, I just saw Obama and McCain on some posts but didn't bother to read anything on this page, too lazy and remembered I don't care right now....
