Priggly,

That was funny... No the dollar is doing exactly what I expected it to do. Since 2002...it just took longer for it to get here then I thought. I didn't see the dollar safehaven trade in 08.

Ya ya the Marxist in the white house...boggie boggie boggie...I'm affraid....not!

My degree is in Finance and economics...I have been trying to get people to pay attention to the deficet and out sourcing since 1987.

I voted for Ross Perot because I beleived him when he said "the giant sucking sound was going to be jobs leavinng the country" because of NAFTA...

I think it was Cheany that said "Reagan proved deficets don't matter"....so the Republicans are just as guilty...and more so. They pretend to be fiscal hawks and then they spend like drunken sailors...

At least the Dems are honest about their intent. And it's not some communist plot or marxist ideology.

What is part of the problem is crony capitolism. How about the Medicare Drug program Bush passed that didn't allow the government to shop for drugs based on price or volume discounts...they forbid the government from cost shopping....

I do agree that spending is to high...but it has to be brought down in a reasonable pace..if we have the time. It took 5 decades to create the problem, it will take time to fix it.

If we cut like the Tea baggers want, they will crash the economy....

One of my motos is "I can't change what is going to happen..just let me figure out what is going to occur and profit from it"....so far so good.
