Hi kirk,

Congrats on the great article and its placement in the premium program.

I have been in and out of spy - I like its liquidity.

As a country with the reserve currency we are allowed some leeway - we have taken far too much and risk its universal acceptance.

We as a country need to mine our particulate oil on federal lands and allocate the revenue received into a permanent fund much like Alaska has. The yield from which should be used to reduce the annual deficit.

Next the entitlements need to be scrutinized such that a pound of help is received by those who give a pound of work for the benefit.

Look at hoe the food stamp program had a crash diet when the governor made people work for their food stamps.

Every body loves free.

Our next generation of politicians need to get over free for a vote and control taxes.

The next wave of politicians is going to be different - I liked Rubio's comment about "yesterday is over".

We need a common sense new approach - help is good, but generations of a hand out lifestyle is a failed program and needs to be modified.

Once again congrats on the article.

Bob

Very well-written piece, Kirk. As usual.

As to Fed rate hikes, with the US govt as the mega-borrower that it is, I suspect we will see fewer hikes in the next two years than many fear. A friend of mine mentioned that the Fed won't want to raise raise in 2016 - election year. I think one in September, maybe another in Dec, then nothing in 2016. Unless the economy is roaring ahead later this year. Should be great for stocks.
