People talk about “tax and spend Democrats”, but this current crisis is just another Republican mess that will only be solved by a Democratic administration. After 1929 it was FDR, after Bush 1 it was Bill Clinton and after Bush II, the Democrats and Obama are the only ones who can turn us around. Wake up people!

David,

That is a half truth. Actually both parties contributed to this mess. The Democrats starting with Carter, by putting pressure on the banks to get easier loans, Then Clinton did that some more, with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. However, in 2003, when the Republicans were in the majority, they could have stopped the mess, because there were signs the problems were starting, they did nothing to stop it….and now we’re in the spot that we’re in.

As much as I would love to believe that electing Barack Obama is going to solve all the worlds problems, I can’t. Nobody can. Neither would John McCain make all the problems go away. In fact, he would make them worse.

In fact, it strikes me a humorous when Obama and McCain blame one another for the mess, when both sides got us here….and only a real leader will get us out, and I am on convinced that either of these parties have that leader.

Thanks for the comments,

What do you think of the Pro Funds mutual fund: UVPIX? Is it true that it has increased by 40% in less than one week?

William,

I have zero clue man. I am not a stock professional, I simply blog about politics. But I also am keeping up with the market, because of the political implications that go along with it. I checked the charts on it, it seems to be trending upward, but I’m no expert at it. So, I say, play at your own risk, as these markets are very crazy right now.
