Personally, I've washed my hands of the whole affair, but I still focus on placing the right bets in order to at least enjoy a prosperous future.
If this country ever really embraced reform, it would destroy my existing portfolio. But, I sleep well at night knowing that your opinion is shared by those who control the political process.
Therefore, and I tell this to everyone, bet on the status quo. That means ever larger gov't, ever larger deficits, ever larger debt. That means currency devaluation, inflation (commodities, not leveraged instruments ie mortgages) and social unrest. That in turn means greater police power, which means more profits for suppliers - both military & domestic.
Once again, I must thank you for clarifying the issues. Nothing is worse than uncertainty - it makes for poor investment planning, and ultimately, a chitty, impoverished life.
Err, your welcome...
Was there something in my post you were actually disputing, or was this just a not so cleverly disguised (yet extremely whiny) post in defense of Ron Paul?
I’m torn between RP and MB at this point. bachmann has my heart, Paul my head.

LOL. My wife and I have been investing using your strategy for years. Why bet on the dollar if all we are going to get is more of the same, no matter which party wins. Establishment candidates will destroy our financial system.
Rick Perry recently “adopted” Ron Paul’s anti-Fed Reserve postion, but Perry’s positions are like the wind.
