Well, no, but everyone can relax once we get a demoncrat into office, and the USA gets back to the welfare state that so many seems to want.
No more having to decide where we spend our money, which doctors we see, or how we choose to live. Boy that'll take the pressure off!

Let's see, if the DOW kept up with inflation after 2000 it would be at 13,250 today. So it would only have to go up 600 points just to get out of the crapper. Things are going really, really well. In fact, I think you should invest your money there. It's not too late ! But just to let you know, in far under a year my gold's gone up 45%.

And besides, history is, like, SSOOoooooo yesterday.
Heh... I do, however, have a Grandpa who just left us last year who spoke of such things often. He was always dismissed by everyone around him, mainly because he had mostly daughters and tended to say things about women being horrible drivers and such in his cute funny old man who doesn't matter anymore type way. He loved his wife very much though and they celebrated their 50 year anniversary before his passing.
3 things he's said that I will never forget.
1. Television is the ruination of the American family.
2. Save your own money while you can, because you won't get any Social Security when you retire.
3. I don't envy any of you boys growing up today.
I trusted him like I've trusted almost no other human being on the planet. He knew what it was like to be a poor polock who picked up cigarette butts off the street with his friends growing up because they couldn't afford the 3 cents for smokes. Something tells me we have quite a way down to go before I'm caught doing that.
Then there's my other Grandpa who spent a night in the pokey after telling a female judge with great disgust "It's a woman's world now" after she stuck him hard with exorbinant child support payments. My grandma told me that story.
And BTW.... I don't necessarily believe something cause I've seen it with my own eyes either. But the truth is, we have a Social Security number now, and I know that it must have taken something great to have spurred Americans to conscent to being numbers.... a Great Depression, perhaps?
I'm just drawing the parallells here, and I know you're not arguing me here and likely see them as well as I do.

What lies were told today, hmmm....?
I'll be impressed when gold is back down to $417 an ounce where it belongs. Till then, the rich can take the DOW Jones and stick it right up their dandy asses.
Those numbers mean less to me than any Gallop poll or the countless lies spilling like diarreha out of el Presidente's mouth.

Why does somebody staunchly on either "side" do that?
Why do I have to be a supporter of the Demons because I'm not happy with that cocksucking asshole who should be impeached if we still live in a free country?
Don't do that anymore. You insult me by casting me in with the HillObama ass sucking lot.

That is kinda nice... my GG took a little beating today it seems but I'm still up 53% from my investment in May.
Truth be told though, I'd be happier if the Dollar rose and that stock went into the toilet.
