Pedophilia being declared a disorder is simply another step taken by the psychiatric industry to broaden their market.

They (much of the media) absolutely do conspire against conservatives. That's not even in question.

The internet is a series of tubes.

Yeah we are suckers for British accents and even more so if they come in a package like Liz Hurley.

That or maybe her justice department will be too busy with bathroom rights cases for mixed-up gender folks or global warming cases against non-believers.

Large buyers of products in other industries sometimes negotiate terms that specify that the buyer gets a certain price or the best price offered to any other buyer, whichever is less.

Takes two to tango. Were there any audit practices at Fanny/Freddy and did they review the quality of credit within the securities? Apparently not. Who was the largest buyer of mortgages which was also willing to buy them at extremely low rates with very small down payments and low levels of borrower income? Who was willing to buy and hold Trillion$ in mortgages with reserve levels far below what banks were required to have? Fanny and Freddy absolutely set the market as a willing buyer of home loans even advertising such easy credit terms for borrowers. Other large financial institutions foolishly bought similar quality portfolios of mortgages and also got burned. Yes, some loans were written with dishonest credit info but that was a very small portion. Fanny/Freddy played it fast and loose. Had buyers of mortgage backed securities had stricter standards of credit worthiness and money down, the meltdown doesn't happen or would have been a blip instead of a crash.

Maybe they can ask the people that found the missing Lois Lerner emails to look for them? Shouldn't take more than a year of two to recover them.

I don't know. It's not that great with beef.

We're the rich country so we should pay more. It's only fair that other countries with lesser means pay less for the same drugs.

Yes and higher payrolls mean more tax revenue to the government. By gosh we can solve so many problems if we just double everyone's pay.

The end justifies the means and they know the media will ignore it.

I'll go with both Doctors and Patients over medicating and patients ultimately being responsible for their own health or lack thereof.

What about gossip and dirty secrets? Certainly they have to be skilled at that conversation in order to be an effective hair professional?

Yes. The left has abandoned the idea that minimum wage jobs are for teens, part-time and other entry level workers (or those just looking for something to do). In their week economy these jobs now have to pay a better wage which of course earns them more votes with other people's money. It's another faux issue aimed to distract the electorate from the big 5: Debt and deficits, underfunded entitlements, immigration, economic growth and national security.

They'll go up and companies will be less willing to invest R&D money in some cases but this is not an argument to leave things the way they are. Doctors over medicating our society are also part of the problem.

and the Brits celebrate Thanksgiving on the 4th of July.

Yes because becoming involved with the justice system is simply an unfortunate occurrence. A little bad luck for those individuals.

What a bunch of pussies.

In 2003, the Bush Administration sought to create a new agency, replacing the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, to oversee Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In 1992 in the wake of the Savings and Loan crisis, and over concern similar lending problems would develop, the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight was created as part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development.[16] While Senate and House leaders voiced their intention to bring about the needed legislation, no reform bills materialized. A Senate reform bill introduced by Senator Jon Corzine (D-NJ) (S.1656) never made it out of the 21-member (10D/11R) Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee.[17] At the time members of the 108th congress expressed faith in the solvency of Fannie and Freddie. Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA), for example, described them as "not facing any kind of financial crisis." [18] In 2005, the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act, sponsored by Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE) and co-sponsored by Senators Elizabeth Dole (R-NC), John McCain (R-AZ) and John Sununu (R-NH)[1], would have increased government oversight of loans given by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Like the 2003 bill, it also died in the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, this time in the 109th Congress. A full and accurate record of the congressional attempts to regulate the housing GSEs is given in the Congressional record prepared in 2005

Yes, the faster we put unskilled people out of work and on the gov't dole the better.

You really are a !@#$ing turd. One that floats and never dissolves. Here is what you said: "He fiddled while the system ran wild and did nothing to show regulatory leadership. A good president would have fought harder to reel in the predatory lending and corruption. But Bush didn't"

Seems as though the Bush Admin warned congress many times about weaknesses in the mortgage system and of course there is that famous Maxine Waters stuff that we are all familiar with. Here's a summary of warnings issued by the Bush Admin. 17 of them. https://nicedeb.wordpress.com/2008/09/21/the-white-house-warned-congress-about-fannie-mae-freddie-mac-17-times-in-2008-alone/

What did Bush do that contributed to the economy going over the cliff?

That chart is built for those that don't read who will look at the graphically rising trend from left to right and conclude that Obama is doing a great job.
