-both WW and MM above want recovery to continue. Why?
-I'll be up front, I don't want it to continue. I want it to be a "false" 3-month recovery based on automotive (C4C) and housing ($8,000 rebate) upticks resulting only from government money.
-Why? How can I be so heartless? I believe in the capitalist system as developed in a free country over two hundred years. The America we have today is a result of its hybrid capitlist-democratic history.
-What the bunch in control of DC want now is socialism, and they are using socialist methods to get what they want economically, financially, and politically. If they succeed, then everything I believe in is wrong. So I don't want them to succedd. If they succeed, then I'll suck it up and admit I was wrong and then proudly watch the new America grow and prosper.
-HOWEVER, I don't believe that will happen, nor do I believe that we should help the crowd in power to make it happen. I spent almost 30 years studying the political, economic, cultural, and military mechanics and results of socialistand communist governments. All they do is lower the average man's status of living and his/her hopes for the future. Only the bureaucrats of the ruling political elites prosper. Almost every socialist government of teh last 100 years has led its country to mediocrity at best and totalitarin dictatorship at worst. In most cases it takes two generations (the time it takes for initiatives of the former culture to run out of steam) for a new socialist government to totally flounder. It's all about the America our grand children will inherit.
-I believe from every thing I have read, heard, and researched, that Obama, his czars, his congressional leaders, and his mentors are all on teh political spectrum ranging from strident socialists to stupid communists.
-Do I hope them succeed? --hell no!!!
