    Ummm... the fact of the matter is that the only specific plan with numbers on it was proposed by Paul Ryan.

    Still, NOTHING with numbers forwarded by the President and the Democrats. Hell, the Dems held a supermajority and operated for two years without a budget - period.

    Get busy, Dems.

    Yeah, Ryan was laughed out of the room on that one, and even Heritage had to back up their assessment.

    but... all this political stuff creates uncertainty in the markets. Uncertainty generates volatility, volatility is a trader's bread and butter... we should be donating to both parties!

  8. Now the markets have gone apeshit over some convoluted plan by the reformed Gang of Six. Can it pass the House? Doubtful.

    Anyway bonds have soared, gold plummeted and stocks rallied. For now.

  10. Potential winners:

    Our political hacks, their minions, and of course Corporate America.

    Definite losers:

    Everyone else

    Funny how those that caused the shit-storm come out winners, again!
