Governments can't make the poor rich, but they can make the rich poor. At some point you will realize that what you and I get from an Obama Administration is higher taxes. So far, we have seen a mixture of amateur hour, Tax Cheats and Lobbyists move into control, and a burden of debt piled on us and our kids, in only the first short month of Obama ruling over our country. Wonder if it will get better?;-) I look at the stock market now, versus when the Dems took over in 2006 and wonder if I am in a parallel reality, where only I can consider cause and effect. <BR/> <BR/>Oh, how I wanted Obama to do a good job running the country, but have to give him an F so far, and am looking for something lower to apply in the future, unless things change.<BR/><BR/>We are living in interesting times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32914592.post-30003088722266926212009-02-28T21:01:00.000-08:002009-02-28T21:01:00.000-08:00LH,yes, it does get to fundamentals, doesn't it?

To even THINK of suggesting our government so-called Leaders invest in regular people like you and I . . . sheesh! And I suppose next you're going to suggest health care for all US citizens to insure citizens are healthy enough to be productive with all the money invested in them.<BR/><BR/>You need to move to Sweden and be with brethren of your ilk. Oh wait . . . *I* want to move to Sweden, too!Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291372921696671073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32914592.post-9965745117974314372009-02-27T14:45:00.000-08:002009-02-27T14:45:00.000-08:00Mr. RWorld, I'm nervous too, and for the same reas...Mr. RWorld, I'm nervous too, and for the same reason. The U.S. has to "produce" useful stuff and create the new jobs that will sustain an economy over the long haul. The stimulus does not do much of that.<BR/><BR/>My concern is that waves of successful entrepreneurship usually follow some major technical innovation like the transistor, circuit board, CD,internet, etc. What is the big technological wave that American entrepreurship can ride this time?<BR/><BR/>Another concern is that automated manufacturing of everything from cars to medicines to laptops means that few new businesses can create huge numbers of jobs.<BR/><BR/>We need a fusion reactor. We need a great new solar panel, maybe a roofing material that generates electricity. We need a new technology that requires lots of people to work on it while also saving money for those who purchase it. What will it be?<BR/><BR/>Come on, scientists! Save America!Lifehikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00087215544010279426noreply@blogger.com
