Quote from oldtime:
When Obama got elected, he seemed very determined to prove to the world that he was not just another Tax and Spend democrat. The first thing he did was go to Wall Street and make friends with GS and JPM, mistakenly thinking they were the "economy" and then, there, that deal was done, the economy (which he understands nothing about) was in the good hands of the bankers who surely must care about it.
Next he did his agenda, which was "Healthcare" ok, that is done, even the Supreme Court says it is ok.
And 4 years later he gives an inspiring speech laying out his vision for the world which as far as I can tell relies entirely on taxing and spending. Is there or was there anything in that speech which doesn't require more taxes or more spending (which is now just more borrowing)?
And the other side is no better.
What we need is somebody to stand up and say, "I want to be President and I can't solve any of your problems."
I wish Michelle would run. She was the best looking woman in the whole joint. If all it means to be President is giving a speech, I'd rather watch her make one than the other two clueless individuals competing for the worthless position.
haha i really like your perspective.. its real..... i'm a conservative.. i'm voting Romey... i would like to vote Ron Paul.. cause i've heard people with real financial sense tell me so. that being said.. my thoughts.. Obama is in the Seat now.. probabilities are he will win.. that being said... can gets kicked down the road.. and we further this extention into the socialist direction we are heading.. this is just a cycle... we will fuck ourselves with good bits of socialism before we realize how stupid it is.. then go back to the dog eat dog capitalistic world we started on.. where your just happy to eat for a days worth of work.. frankly i think we are spoiled as fuck..
that being said.. i'm more interested in how to trade this mess.. we are in a euphoric money printing gov reassuring market right now.. once everyone is in long.. and obama wins.. and reality sets in that he is going to exact everything he wants now that he is in his last term and it doesn't matter what people think.. thats when we will have the day of reckoning.. and thats basically how i'm going to trade it...
