And honestly he will believe it. I am debating whether the corn ethanol or Iraq war will be the worst boondoggle - so hard to decide. <BR/><BR/>But more than any 1 man it's the system - not to sound like a socialist pig and with the reality that there is corruption in all governments - we really have a system built to not favor the 'common people' - and so much money is at stake to keep it exactly as it is now, I just can not see it changing. I posted a 60 Minutes piece on how the last piece of health care legislation was passed and how corrupt the whole process was (you can search for 60 in the blog, it should pull up) - when I see that and realize this is how the government works, day in and day out (this was just an egregious form of it) - it is quite a sad statement. We have a lot of very hard working people in the country and they are sold a bill of goods on equality and even playing field. We keep this carrot out there about the "ability for anyone to become spectacularly rich" and that carrot alone is enough to make the sheep thing its worth having a system of massive inequality that increases by the year, with many in the bottom 20-30% not able to cope with the basics. Seems strange for the richest country in the world - but are we really anymore? If you exclude debt? <BR/><BR/>But anyhow I digress! Maybe someday we'll have a "centrist" party that is sickened by the bipolar actions of both the right and the left and come to some common sense things that help the masses - but probably that won't happen until things really degrade further. Until then I return to my nuclear fall out shelter and you guys can deal with it! :)TraderMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06241756200482130281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-82072273358910319842008-03-20T13:55:00.000-04:002008-03-20T13:55:00.000-04:00tradermark: thanks for the response; fundamental change in the country and in the markets? Could be interesting. I am just saying that few analysts are giving this notion a possibility.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I know you will appreciate it this: I can see President Bush leaving office with the stock market at all time high, the Dollar at an all time low, and banner behind him stating "mission accomplished".Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09198161809721597881noreply@blogger.com
