McCain will do an admirable job and will surround himself with intelligent consultants who will rescue both the economy and the sleepy dollar. Most of these people will undoubtedly be ex-military so how can we go wrong.

 

[offtrack]

Sorry to disagree Birch--- NONE of these candidates are good for business.

McCain will do an admirable job and will surround himself with intelligent consultants who will rescue both the economy and the sleepy dollar. Most of these people will undoubtedly be ex-military so how can we go wrong.

He's also pledged not to raise taxes, keep the Bush tax cuts, and continue the wars, and the only way you can do that is to continue the Supplemental Off-budget Kabuki. I thought when I voted for him years ago he would be strong and tell things as they are. But he's fallen into the borrow and spend trap cause it's easier than to tell the truth and raise taxes or sell war bonds to pay for the wars we are in now. So not this time.

Hillary will take the rest of our money. You talk about BAD, let her control the purse strings!

Hehe, at least she's spending real money and not using the Federal Revolving Credit account, which will come around and hit us tail end Boomer/first year Busters right in our Golden Years.

W3rd!!!!

I've always said, if I was going to hire a CEO/CFO, I'd get a BYU grad since they generally are very conservative business people and quite bright.

But I won't have that option this election...

Sure, it will be REAL MONEY, OUR MONEY!!!!!!

True, but I prefer it over Credit Card, which is Our Money with Interest. I'm really mad that Bush has made the Rep party into the Party of Borrow and Spend, which is just a version of Tax and Spend with a belated Tax + Interest payment that we *will* eventually have to pay for after he's long gone. And whichever Party is in power then is going to be a one term wonder.

Are you married? Who controls the purse strings at your house...the day-to-day budget? You or your wife?

I make the Money, she spends it, then if any is left she pays the bills. I'm a feminist!

 

[Birchtree]

anidoc,

There is always Ralph Nader. Remember what he did to that sweet Corvair? I saw a restored one not long ago and it sure brought back memories of 1965.

So true, Romney was the best of the lot. ...and somehow Mormons are just so wholesome and happy, always look like they just stepped out of the shower and hit mega millions.

[presskh]

Yeah, I was pushing for Romney because the is a great business man, too bad!

Same here - Romney was the only one with an extensive understanding of the economy and the markets. The remaining candidates are just lifetime politicians (McCain at least does deserve credit for his military service to our country) with varying degrees of the gift of gab and making promises they can't fulfill.

 

[nnuut]

Another surprise from Uncle Ben yesterday! Do you think they time these things to squeeze the shorts? I think I see a trend?:suspicious: I've been home for 3 days sick and being in the "F" yesterday didn't clear my nasel congestion, guess I must return to work tomorrow, darn it?

Well Market looks like it's pissed at someone, and it's not me so I guess it makes good walking around sense to stay in the CP mode until the dust clears.
Still 100% "F" fund and lovin' it!

[BlueMax]

Yeah, I was pushing for Romney because the is a great business man, too bad!

There is talk of Romney on the VP ticket with McCain and he said he would be honored to accept if offered. The only problem, we know how much the VP say weighs, UNLESS McCain can't fill his term.

 

[nnuut]

Watch out for the CPI and Core CPI tomorrow!! If they come in BAD, it's down we go IMHO.View attachment 3533

 

[love-to-bike]

Yes but that looks promicing. McCain said he is no business man, and a president decides what his Vice will do, he might give him a huge project, straighten out our economy, with his approval of course!

I'd like to think that would work, but I can't see McCain giving up two of his basic tenants which are a large part of the mess we are in: a costly war and financing it on credit. I just wish the American people would man up and decide if we want to stay at war we should sacrifice a bit. If that means raising taxes so we can't buy that new car, so be it. If that means having war bonds, great. But by running this war on credit with absolutely no sacrifice by the vast majority of the public (hell, we even get tax breaks) we are just ruining our economy. Not just now, but during our retirement years we'll still be paying.

Sorry for the rant but I just hate the fact that a few of our best and bravest (and their families) are the ones sacrificing the most while the rest of us do little but paste a yellow bumper sticker on our cars.

 

[nnuut]

I understand how you feel love-to-bike, it's like the
politicians are a bunch of crooked idiots, just out for what they can get.
