Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

Forget about sweeping gov't changes as a result of this economy. The day we allowed lawyers to become professional politicians is the tragic day we let our country down, as sheep always do. These guys make the laws now that suit them, not us. Do you think that will ever change?

Politics used to be a way station within a successful career, a place where you stopped for a few years and then returned to your profession after a public service stint well done. Now it's a profession like any other, but others don't have the influence or the money that "gov't service" and "elected office" has today. That's what brought all the slicksters we have now into it, and they will never leave.

Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

Ever since the Civil War, social anarchists have been trying to get America to "redistribute the wealth", giving an equal amount of money to all Americans regardless of race or color. My idiot nephew is one of those anarchists.

The problem with that moronic and shortsighted thinking is that in a short time, it would all be "redistributed" right back to the way it is now just like water seeks its own level. Giving money to the irresponsible doesn't change them into responsible citizens, it just gives them a good time until all the money is gone. My granny used to say, "some poor folks people are poor by circumstance, but most are poor by nature." So true.

Is redistribution what Obama is now trying to do? And, is it really just another way of getting "reparations" ?

Is It Time to Buy? What History Shows

Attended a Woodward and Bernstein lecture where Woodward told of a lunch he had with Al Gore. When he asked Gore what percent of things going on in Washington the public knows about, Gore said, "no more than 1%".

That about tells it also with this so-called "market recovery". Much, much more social and economic damage and corruption is covered up in Washington than we ever know about, and anything done to "correct" now merely covers it up until the next time. Nothing is ever really solved, and the house of cards called capitalism ges weaker each time until final collapse. No way anything substantive and permanent gets solved if this present system repair takes less than 10 years of national pain to do it.
