Obama is just echoing FDR..who said "we have nothing to fear, but fear itself"...if you're going to fault him for that, then i guess you probably think this is all his fault too?


As you said.."he's just trying to keep people from freaking out"

I don't think anyone would be surprised about continued cuts in the CVG flying. The pulldown from hub status to more of a focus city is inevitable, despite what Delta wants everyone to believe. Besides didn't that one dude at DL very carefully word a recent statement regarding the future of the CVG hub past this summer? After the Piedmont merger in 1989, I remember when USAir had hubs in PIT, PHL, CLT, DCA, and BWI, with tiny hubs in DAY and SYR (not to mention all of the focus cities littered all over the NE and Midwest), and look how well it worked out for them...

Since you are new here ill just warn you that that is the wrong attitude. We do "doom and gloom" here and positve attitudes will make people angry!

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

In some respects it is his fault. All he is doing is echoing the bad fiscal policy of the US from the last 40 years. At least he is being honest with how bad the situation actually is, I'll give him credit for that.

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.

You better tell those foreign investors, as the dollar is in high demand at the moment...and has been gaining ground on the Euro and the Pound.

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....

Good call. You may return to your regularly scheduled doom and gloom.

HA!
So were there any good updates on epic to start this week?
