Ok, there was a post encouraging Americans to vote. Any thoughts on the results?

I have been out of work for a while now because of the hep c and tx, so I have spent quite a bit of time watching the progress of the elections in the USA.  It was so heartwarming to see the positive reactions to the elections from so many parts of the world.  However, I do know our media can be biased, and I'm sure there were some very negative responses in the world, but I found it a moving event.  He is only a man and I hope he can hold on to his ideals for American and our children but, as we all know "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Think it was GM. And, his investment ($5B I think) was not the kind that man-on-the-street would or could make.  He's not a GM insider and he hasn't been proven stupid yet.

P.S. Not long ago Warren Buffet invested in GE stock, essentially telling the market that GE was a good buy. GE was on the verge of bankruptcy! Now the Government (with our $) is bailing out GE to the tune of 139 Billion dollars. Warren had to of known this was going to happen. That is insider trading and he ought to go to jail! Funny that the guys you seem to trust so much are just another bunch of crooks!

You need to read "The Forgotten Man" by Amity Schlaes. Over taxation and regulation along with out of control Gov. spending causes depressions.

LOL,
Number 1 is out for sure, glass half empty
Number 2 is teetering between 2 and 3 with the outcome of the presidential election.
Number 3 is a global mind set at the moment
Number 4 stay out of the north east, Massachusetts in particular
Number 5 hang garlic on the front door
Number 6 ignorance may be your friend after all

It's like the 6 steps of project management

1: Optimism
2: Uncertainty
3: Fear
4: Search for the guilty
5: Punishment of the innocent
6: Praise for the uninvolved
