    Here's the way politics work: The last regime (Clinton-Gore) left office with a TEN YEAR BUDGETARY SURPLUS. The entire Bush/Gore campaign battle was about what to do with that surplus...give it to the wealthy in tax breaks or put it in a lock box for social security. Bush didn't even fucking spend it. He gave it away!!!

    Little Bush deserves the same fate as Mussollini received, as well as Cheney and a few others in their neocon cabal.

    Well as bad as things may seem to be, there are lot of positives this past week. The stock market had 2 400+ days biggest gain in many years. The Fed are reducing interest rates. Despite ppl views on surpluses/deficits, it never has really been something i worried to heavily about. Right now the deficit only make around 3-4% of gross domestic product (GDP) and even less globally. And it has been shown that stock markets have faired quite well in deficits. Maybe even less well in surpluses. If the stock market does end up recovering in the next month or so, we may only see a short-term recession (if you believe the old believe that the stock market precedes economic conditions).

    Additionally, 10 year bond yield are are lower than S&P 500 Stock earning yields. So I am confident about eh future and see this possible recession as an opportunity.

    You get it, this is where this is headed. Notice the shift toward the holy war they are attempting. All fabricated, but this was determined a long time ago. We don't have a chance, and it's not just the US. It's a world issue. If you believe in the Bible, now is the time where the WHore of Babylon will come to take face. Pray for intervention, because destruction is inevitable at this point. We can't save ourselves. Those in charge don't want salvation for us.

    Get ready...
