Not the government, the rich......since they all qualify. It is the rich that are insulated from reality, and why not. Is there anyone in Washington that is not a millionaire. I see even ole Ron Paul wants to coin a book and become even richer. You see what Al Gore makes these days? And he wants to go IPO, if he does his stake is worth 48M in a company bleeding coin. I keep asking when 'and the meek shall inherit the earth' as RUSH once sang a song. Just this weekend I am reading an article on the front page of Yahoo about the cars of the billionaires, read IHT Tribune of late.....the rich do not seem too worried, article after article about what spot on the globe to buy a third of fourth home or how what art just sold for 40M. Why should they be, a few billion or million here and there, so what! -and in that same paper, they pointed out 700M folks in India cook their food with animal dung and wood. **so tonight if you cook with electric or gas, think yourself lucky! What a world we live in, sad really. And you wonder why it is going to 'hell in a handbasket' DUH West

Was looking at a statistic the other day, really like those. About 100,000 high net worth individuals, about 7B 600M low worth. Let us hope they have built very high walls and very strong gates. If the masses ever wake up to the 'ponzi scheme'/'serf' that has been given them and decide to no longer 'eat cake' - as they did in France........god help us all. West

"Where's George Costanza when you really need him? (that's a 90's bubble reference for those who need a little help)." It was the Moops. The Moops invaded Spain........LOL.

"I think we've identified the next bubble. It's over Washington, DC." I could save us trillions of dollars... does anybody have a match?
