As long as the Dow keeps going up, it will keeps Joe Six Packs happy. After all, they cannot even locate United States in the world map.
NO one cares about the middle clas.s POliticians love to pander to the so called middle calss, but they don;t really care about the middle class. The middle class is becoming increasingly irrlevant.
Sad, but true. And Joe-6pack has no idea where Iraq is either, let alone the fact that "Operation Iraqi Freedom" has cost him $3,200 per year for the past 5 years . . .
so what then, a return to feudalism? that would make the United States essentially no better than any of the places people left to come here
And unfortunately Americans voted in George Bush and all of his incompetence not once, but TWICE. So much for all of that Iraqi oil revenue to pay for "reconstruction" or pay for the War, or Rumsfeld saying that the total bill for the war would be just under $50 Billion. So far, we are at nearly $3 Trillion for "Operation Iraqi Freedom" but Joe 6-Pack has no clue. And to think that all of those conservative idiots in Ohio voted Bush back in for a second term because Karl Rove got them off their couches at home to head to the polls motivated by FAMILY VALUES . . . And this is where we are today. An election swayed all because of "Family Values" Ohio should be demoted as a State.
We are indeed financially hosed. And look at our political "leadership" (oxymoron for you?). Change! Yes, that's what we need.. but not the Obama, YoMama, kind.
Interesting that you should say that. I remember Jim (don't call me Jimmy) Rogers in the late 90's saying every young man should buy as much Farm RE as he could. Right again.
