re: #310 Gus 802

I don’t do parties. Financial markets have gone global since the mid 2000s. We were struggling under a near recession for the better part of that decade which led to the final near collapse on October of 2008 which led TARP as promoted by Hank Paulson who worked alongside the New York Fed boss, Timothy Geithner.

Even though spending has increased it still on the same trajectory as it was before January 20, 2009. Majority of spending is on entitlements and defense. With the former we have an aging population and baby boomers entering the entitlement “market.” On the latter we are fighting a two front war in Iraq and Afghanistan which are still not free or payed for by Iraqi oil revenues (as promised). At the same time we are providing military “services” for the Persian Gulf, North Korea, Haiti, East Africa (pirates), and the Indonesian region.

Everything was, still and will be set up for the top 1 percent of this nation. Nothing has changed before January 20th nor after. My world fell apart on October of 2008 and hit bottom in October of 2009. This was with both Republicans and Democrats at the helm. Frankly, whoever wins in 2010 or 2012 probably won’t mean a spit of difference in my life.

Bottom line… at least from my point of view… “whoever wins” has never meant anything to my life… except occasional bumps that I had to maneuver around… and the fun of playing devils advocate sneering at these fools. This much I’ll say, my predictive skills have always been about 85 percent in regards to the direction things move in politics. So, if you have been paying attention to things I have been saying for the last 5-6 years on LGF, you may find some insight into the future. And maybe not.

This baby boomer is not falling in with “… an aging population and baby boomers entering the entitlement “market.” I make my own way, and that’s another fact you should be aware of.

It’s not that I don’t respect or consider what you or anyone else comments on, or surmises, or your opinions or even the facts, it’s just that none of that means crap to me at the bottom line. I make my own bottom line… the rest is a joke… that’s my cure for insanity.
