Not sure what the Obama "system" is until Congress gets done with it,  
but I expect there will be more small businesses doing well four years  
from now.

Clinton left, and Bush entered, with an economy in far better  
condition than now, nearly eight years of Bush later.

I hate it. But ideology has never bought me any beans. You?

It is apparent that Wall Street has immense influence in the DC  
Whorehouse, both as campaign contributors and as revolving-door  
participants. The best chance for equity that we commoners have is to  
loudly scream our pain and for programs that will directly benefit us.

Then, some day, true Conservatives will attain their goal of smaller  
government through national bankruptcy. In the meantime, print that  
paper! The day of reckoning will never come! Well, at least as long as  
(insert your favorite public servant) is in office.

In the meantime, become a successful homesteader.
