Charters 3 Recommendations Respond to Well, sticking pretty closely to economic meaning of this topic, but straying ever so slightly from the idea of gold miners, (which I notice few give so much as a second look at, on RTT, ignoring it seems steadfastly anyone doing explo in the Yukon in favour of the latest blowout daytrader.. well who can blame them. The rush has come and gone it seems in the klondyke stocks. Seen one UW, seen em all.) -- but I think what everyone has also steadfastly ignored in reference to the US economic political flat tire, which is more or less grinding the world trading jalopy to the shoulder... is that the essence of the system that has spawned this disaster is that it is fed, since WWII by hordes of nice two country people sponging off the gov't expropriation feedbag by doing their version of the Pantages Theater ploy on Pennsylvania Ave. No hooker in Washington screws no lobbyist without a faithful video artist at the keyhole, just for insurance. And no vote is cast in congress or the senate without goat flics being passed in manila envelopes into the right hands. The world's largest money machine on Wall Street is tied directly to the hall of power. The extent of the perfidy is hard to properly categorize. It would be pretty strange indeed if a 100 billion in government contracts did not involve the odd body in the bush, the odd blackmail job, or grease of the odd palm. Do you think? Against this backdrop is the relaxation of Glass Steagall Act and no holds barred lending, bond drives etc.. It's all grist for the mill.
