High Hopes and the Economy

Listening to the talking heads on cable news you would have thought that last week's stock run up was the start of a new improved economy. Today's DJIA 680 pt dive proved once again that this problem is so big that big government and big media have no clue what's going to happen next and what to do next.

We do. Watch expenses, eat in [not out], keep track of where your dollars are going, and live your life knowing at things will get better...and yes, trust your own gut.   

Mind reading simplified

Take your choice:

Optimistic:

"I DO like the cut of his jib. He'll be a fine president. I can easily follow his instructions."

Remorseful:

"Ahhh, that could have been me. Now, what would I have done with Barack if I had been elected..."

Angry:

"Damn him, damn him, damn him..."

Nothing in particular:

"Alright, now I get Biden to shut his pie hole and Bill to keep his whacker in his pants...and who is that little short 'thing' that's going to be at the UN...should I pick something up for Christmas for his daughters?...I sure liked the makeup gal I worked with the on the campaign..."
