Pic,

You are to easy...one solid fact about the tea party being wrong and you start name calling....so we don't need anyone to vouch for your character...you do a good job of proving it all by yourself.

And I'm being nice and calling it the tea party....

I do think the topic is relevant to this board and a through discussion of finance, monetary policy and politics.

Because they are all intertwined...with gold and silver and our interests as inverters.

The simplistic sink or swim mentality they held for GM may be a road map of what they will do to the larger economy.

Idealistic, simplistic ideas lead to bad endings. I don't care who offers them.

If GM had been thrown to the wolves...might the DOW be much lower?? Might the state of Michigan be closer to being a failed state?? How about the Muni bond market??

If the plan the tea partiers had for GM is any indication of how they will lead the country financially, we may wish to put them on a short leash.

An individual or a movement that can't admit they are wrong and learn from it have to be watched very carefully.
