" 100 million Americans on food stamps by 2016!!! "

What a scaring number. But you are right. It the R & R ticket win, America will get it.

Mitt Romney is worth half a billion dollars and he's saying he pays 13 percent annually in taxes. Al Capone paid more than 13 percent in taxes, my fellow Americans and ended up in Alcatraz.

Klaus,
We are just shy of 47 million Americans on food stamps today. In 2008 when Obama took office it was 31 million. The only way we get to 100 million is 4 more years of "yes we can"! I know your boy Obama can do it! The R&R ticket wants to trim the program. Boooo!

Klaus, your other boy super mario is going to save the Euro tomorrow. I don't think your fellow Germans are going to like the way he does it? Will they go along with it? I don't know? How much longer until the Germans jump off the Titanic? They will, I'm just not sure how. Returning to the Mark will lead to the problem the Swiss are having with the Franc, a rapidly appreciating currency. That will make German manufacturing less competitive.

We are living in interesting times. History is repeating (at least rhyming) around the globe. I'm very anxious to see how it plays out this time. One thing is certain. Everything the boom generation believes to be reality is going to come to an abrupt and sobering end.

Greedy, power hungry politicians, central banks playing games with currency markets, and bond markets believing they are bigger than the market itself has never, ever in the history of world ended in anything but disaster.
