I understand that a diamond is carbon aged and pressurized. I worked for the linde div. of union carbide, we could get linde star saphires at discount prices. They also were working on ruby lazers, and one of the proto types disappeared, and was found or traced to cuba. Gem rejects were just thrown into a dumpster, till some enterprising soul found that jewlers would buy them.

it sounds like America has some wind back in her flag again, folks able to send gifts to one another again, I know some can remember back farther than others. some memories are erased after a few weeks or months, while others can remember back 8 years or more. remember back about 7 or 8 years ago, when America lost the wind out of her flag, over 9 million people lost their jobs, the stock market crashed and took a third or more of working folks 401 savings from them. it was a sad time back then, millions of family"s loosing their homes. gas 4.00 a gallon. there weren't many presents being given out back then. no work, no place to live. it just looked like our country was doomed. then America awoke and elected a man of change, he put the wind back in the flag, put the 9 million that was jobless back to work, the stock market is booming again, lowered interest rates so people could refinance their homes and keep them, now gas is half price it was back then, you just can't hide it when folks are living good, they are giving nice gifts to one another, I hear even Old Mitch is handing out gifts, and being smart about how he is doing it to, splitting up a good pair of socks, only giving one sock per person. but this way he can give twice as many gifts out.

Hahahahahaha! Yeah he and the libs that controlled so much and did all those wonderful things you claim have finally been voted out and if Obama could have been voted out he would have been given the boot as well. Not a very strong argument for what your saying. Implying Obama made gas prices cheaper is like the libs saying Bush made gas prices higher.....it's just not the case. Claiming sending gifts is somehow tied to Obama is just not accurate. People spend more money than they have and a Large majority always will. That was also part of the problem with the housIng bust....idiots lending money to idiots who didn't deserve it. Credit cards are the devil to some folks regardless of who is in the whitehouse.
Like I said Hahahahahahahaha your funny.

You know, I tend to believe that economic prosperity works in cycles of boom and bust. You have these periods where we elect governments that believe in the Keynesian theories that the only way to stabilize an economy is through government intervention and regulation. Those folks run the show awhile, then when things aren't going so well they get replaced by free market believers that think the only way to fix things is hard work, Capitalism, and Laissez Faire government...hands off...let the market and supply/demand establish wages and prices. Then, when that road gets bumpy, here come the big government Keynesian folks to "clean up the corruption of unchecked capitalism." It's a circle.
Which is best? Hell, I don't know. I tend to believe in Capitalism, with some regulation, but a small government...let the market set the tone. The problem is that someone always mucks it up.
Why are gas prices so low? You think it's Obama? No. It's fracking and the shale oil boom in the US, which has driven up domestic supply and employed a crapload of Americans in the process. What happens when supply is up? Prices go down. OPEC has all but declared a price war, which is driving the price of oil to record lows. Eventually, the American companies won't be able to cover their production costs at such low prices and you'll see the shale boom temper, a lot of those folks who have high wage jobs in the Bakken or other shale areas will see their jobs shrink a bit. When it's not profitable for them to drill baby drill, they won't. Supply drops. Oil prices creep back up. It's cyclic.
Ride the wave. Some days are diamonds, some days are stones.

8 trillion more in debt is the wind in our flag. see how much it blows when the scam collapses. when you give that much away to artificially pump up the economy, it can't last. the politicians(both parties) don't want the crash to happen on their watch, so they keep pressuring the fed to keep printing. the liberal media helps the commies keep the money flowing by telling everyone everything is rosey. i pulled all i had out of stock market because the crash is just around the corner. if you think it was bad in the 30s we all heard about, we ain't seen nothing. we better be stocking up on beans and bullets. i just can't figure out the right strategy to keep what i've got and make it through the calamity.
