Ron Paul definitely has the right message on domestic policies, whether economic or social. I am torn on his foreign policy. I believe that meddling in the affairs of others is a big part of the problems that we have internationally, however sometimes I think that it is justified. Could we really stand on the sidelines if another Hitler came into being? And the thing that I worry about most with Libertarians is uncompromising approach toward their ideology (and I say that as a registered libertarian). I can see voting for Paul in the primaries. And there is no doubt that I would vote for him against Obama. But I do have some reservations. I dunno though, maybe we do need a guy who will take care of our domestic economy above all else. We do have a lot of work to do to fix the damage that has been done over the years. Another worry that I have with Paul is that he is extreme. And he's extreme in a way that I agree with. But what I expect with any extreme politician is for the pendulum to swing the opposite direction in an extreme way. It is exactly Obama's extreme politics that has made Paul a viable candidate.

Question for the Bond guys. Would appreciate any thoughts from you all on where you would see interest rates going in the next 2-3 years and why? It is my sense from the little I hear or read on this that rates are pretty much expected to stay flat for the next year or two. I believe I saw something a while back where the Fed signalled something like that, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks very much for any and all responses, Alex

Hello John... I'd like your highly regarded opinion on this blog posting. It is long, but if one sticks with it the insight is fascinating. This fellow may well have stumbled or should we say unearthed an important insight into big banks and their methods... The answers he presents in the give and take section are also interesting. *Plan B: How to loot nations and their banks legally* "Is there a plan B? That question is usually asked of governments regarding their attempts to ‘save’ the banks domiciled in their country. But has anyone asked if the banks have a plan B?" golemxiv.co.uk My Best, Chip
