” . . . undoubtedly, a recession.”

Oh really?

Yeah, MarketWatch had a story last spring about the smart money / big GOP donors playing it for a big Demonrat win, followed by a big recession, and whoever gets elected this fall gets to be the next Herbert Hoover.

That was the story a year ago or so.

I inferred from that, that the big yachts hoist hook Christmas week, loaded to their Plimsoll lines with gold bars and German bearer bonds, and set courses for ports in the Caribbean, beyond the reach of Obama's IRS.

Of course, any tax-law changes Congress passes will be made retroactive to January 1st, 2009. Hence the sail date.
