The party that owns the Oval Office always does what it can to keep  
the office. At least for as long as I have been voting. But I have  
come to believe that political tinkering with the economy rarely  
produces substantial results. The tinkering is for the purpose of  
buying support and that is all it does, for those who are susceptible.

I am impressed with the stock market as a reflection of how very  
emotional we human animals are. The main purpose of a financial  
planner, seems to me, is to offset emotion.
