Well, I made it through Bill's reign. I don't remember him saying we need to punish the corporations though. Or forcing people to buy health care. I think Bama has got a chance still. Probably not for long though. Either way, isn't there a good chance of revisiting the Carter days where we get sky-high inflation, gas lines, and sky-high CD rates like 18%???? Isn't there a goood chance of that? Doesn't that mean IF I can sell my home at 23%-28% discount, I can hold the cash and try to get a 10yr or 30yr bond, CD, or whatever somewhere between 12% - 21% and then have a fixed income you can live on , in some up and coming third world country?? That is if I can keep from losing it in the downturn in the meantime. Wouldn't I get high fixed income, nanny state, free soup and nutritional advise, mediocre health care with a bit of a wait, etc?
