Don't get too carried away believing the sloganeering, my friend. The last two major "conservative" administrations, Reagan and Bush 2, have been anything but conservative in failing to control spending and balance the federal budget. Today's leading conservative voices are masters of porkbarrel spending and hypocrisy. I'm also a businessman, with a degree in economics. Am also a recovering Republican, and I will say that I'm quite optimistic about the future. The two major influences of any economy or market are fear and greed. Greed is what caused the current problems, and after some pain, the sun will shine again. Hang tough. -- Goodsounds ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54678 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
