I guess it is better for the taxpayers to pay than let the thieves that created this mes suffer.  After all it will delay the US taking the medicine we so desperately need.  fter all the politicians do need to be reelected. 

I guess I am just as bad as they are,  because I must admit I do not want anything to interfere with my portfolio going north, even if it means it is bad for our country in the long run.

Goldfinger

PS I would bet the PPT juiced the markets today to get it started. Just a guess but the free enterprize system as our past generation knew it, no longer exists.  It is a fact that the price of Gold has been held down by the COT and the various central banks.  This can not last as the demand will go ballistic when all the economic factors play out.  Our country is in effect bankrupt with the US dollar chart looking like a disaster with a temporary dear cat bounce.
