'i hope the electorates choose wisely' It doesn't seem like the electorate is even aware of the issues or if any of them are they just hope the issues disappear<g> I can't remember any politician or media figure ever questioning how mortgage rates can be at generational lows and yet our record twin deficits continue to mount with no end in sight. Yes nominal GDP will grow at a fat clip and the fed be 'viligent' in keeping 'inflation' under control so all will be fine<g> Chinese cheap labor now will want 'their stuff' too with a higher living standard and figure out funding a NJ homeowners mortgage or GWB's war in Iraq makes less and less sense? Thanks to the internet and global access to US television it might happen quicker than we think?
