If you have to show identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor or check out a library book, but not to vote who runs the government, you live in a country run by idiots.

If the government wants to ban stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines with more than ten rounds, but gives 20 F-16 fighter jets to the crazy leaders in Egypt , you live in a country run by idiots.

If, in the largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not a 24-ounce soda because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat, you live in a country run by idiots.

If the government’s plan for getting people back to work is to incentivize NOT working with 99 weeks of unemployment checks and no requirement to prove they applied but cannot find work, you live in a country run by idiots.

no kidding, what was that old story, "The Emperor Has No Clothes."? All intelligent people are out making money, the lowest of the low end up in government. Carly Fiorina looks pretty good compared to the rest that are running, but in the real world where people actually have to make money, would you vote for her for the CEO of your company? Pretty bad in real life, but pretty smart for government work.

As I always said... the A students go into science & engineering. The B students go into business, and the C students go into government.

Take a look at the college grades of any of the recent presidents or leading candidates... and tell me they are not C students... which is why they always try to avoid releasing their transcripts.

You have a point. If a politico had graduated Summa Cum Laude in science or math, he'd certainly want to make an issue of it... though perhaps not if in basket weaving or women's studies.)

(Let's not anyone forget... Odumbo's college transcripts are SEALED FROM PUBLIC VIEW. JUST WHY IS THAT??)

OR MAYBE OBAMA ORDERED IT TAKEN DOWN IN HIS CONTINUING BID TO DESTROY AMERICA!!!

true, but when I was in the computer business, every smart kid thought he should be running the department because they thought they were smarter than the manager. Being smart is a good quality, but it doesn't make for a good leader. Most of us traders have very poor people skills. And people skills are the unique requirement for running things.

So true. It is amazing how much trust and cooperation you can build in a man from a practice so "trivial" as remembering his kid's name and asking about the ear infection.
 
don't matter how smart you are, nothing happens until someone can sell it, and that is why most salesman make ten times more money than a trader, especially if they are amoral and don't give a shit what it is they are really selling. I tried it and failed because I was moral and couldn't sell something I didn't really believe in, and it's kind of hard to make money selling index funds.

so, to reiterate, it's a little unfair to criticize politicians for being stupid. They are stupid about the product they are selling, but they are very good at selling it.
 
To be even more fair their success rate is due to the fact that they only have to sell it to each other with a little sweetener in the pocket to facilitate the sale.
