ReplyDeleteThe American people don't yet understand that something has to be done and it has to be done quickly. If they can be kept in that state of flux then there may be time for some more tax cut experiments. If they start to get the message then all hell is going to break loose for the Republican party. Even now already, the tea party leaders are starting to say that the GOP plans are a joke.
Watch out, the tea party puppies and lap dogs could quickly morph into fire breathing dragons!
It's started. World currencies are beginning to react to the insanity of the Republicans. And gold is going to follow the USD down. This is due to the world now seeing that US politicians are more intent on playing games with supply side theories than taking measures to prop up the economy by taxing the small % of the wealthy. That along with no direction on some real direction on cost cutting. People did actually believe that the Republicans would cut costs and now it's being quickly revealed as nothing but a fraud.
ReplyDeleteGold is not safe. Oil and foreign currencies are. It is my sincere hope that everyone has prepared for it now.
Thanks for the opportunity to voice my concerns here.
