A friend & co-worker who has blood pressure problems will be living 5 fewer minutes at the end of his life because of what I just told him.
I heard on the radio that one of the fools testifying before the fools investigating how they broke America together, the following proposition:
Buy up toxic assets that investors have made.
Hold on there.
No, not THOSE toxic assets.
The 401(k) funds that just took a dump. Buy those. All 2 Trillion dollars' worth of them. You know, with the budget surplus funds. Or maybe from the excesses in the gas tax revenues. Or perhaps some of the gold in the federal reserve.
Oh, wait.
And yet, nobody catches 180 grains from 180 yards, or a noose, or tar & feathers, or even a slap on the pee-pee, for the way they are screwing us up. You can't have reward without risk. If everybody in the country with any money took the same risk and it turns out bad, guess what?
YOU CAN'T PRINT MORE MONEY TO BUY UP ALL THE BAD DEBT.
I know they are going for the nice half of socialism here, but after we wake up, we'll find out we have the not-nice half, too, and then it may be too late.
It may already be too late.
"Have a nice day!"
