  • Washington's Dismal Record as Investment Manager [View article]
    ATLASMAN and TERESAE--

    a number of years back, a POL by the name Tip Oneil [spelling?], speaker of the USA house/reps said "all politics is local". this is no longer true. we, the electorate, have given our local voice/vote to the federal gov't. the federal gov't is expected to solve all problems for all people. it can't be done. local innitiatives/control must be retrieved. we once lived with "states rights" in the "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", not the federal socialized states of america. and we've created a political class[POLS] to run the social federal states of america. POLS who vie for our vote every 2/4 years to maintain status quo. and we cede it to them! is there significant difference among PARTY offerings??

    for those unaware, consult a dictionary-- gerrymandering, vt.

  • Misunderstanding the Great Recession [View article]
    the weaknesses, failures, and other negators of business leaders and their boards[composed primarily of the same peer groups] did not happen overnight. could this have taken several generations of deterioration? if so, what drivers/causes? if not, what?

    are we following in the path of all successful civilizations, failing by our own success and subsequent decay of "what got us here"?

    no stimulus package help there!

    regards POLS and BANKERS, history is replete with those bad tales[always bad bedfellows].

    maybe "...past is prologue..." be true.
