Congressional leaders and both presidential candidates are proposing billions of dollars in tax breaks. The election promises alone could create the biggest hole within the Federal budget since 1946!

Well, I believe Wall Street has succeeded in one amazing accomplishment, they have created the world's first actual Time Machine!

It is transporting us backward in time to the 1930's and 40's, but just like in those science-fiction movies, I sure hope it doesn't accidentally deliver us back to the stone-age!!!

So prepare yourselves for this marvelous journey sponsored by the wizards of Wall Street, the world's financial time-traveling 'King'!?

Ending the Iraq Occupation is $10 billion per month for America's needs. Stopping the tax breaks for big business is billions more. Holding government accountable and eliminating waste is billions more. Yes, we CAN help our people, help the world and pay our debts at the same time.

It's called MANAGEMENT, ACCOUNTABILITY and RESPONSIBILITY.

We do it every single day in our own homes. I would think that Harvard and Yale graduates could balance the books of our government. It's been done before by a man named Clinton. Therefore, it can be done again.

I am with everyone on this comment line!

Here is another analogy: The upcoming presidential election is 'no' different, than if we went back to 1912 aboard the maiden voyage of the Titanic, and replaced that captain with another captain, right after the iceberg was struck!

Deborah; Sounds like the end of the show, but I don't want to leave just yet! I have to see how the Derivatives Market turns out. Can I at least leave some lights on if I stay and clean up?

Wall Street started dancing the very minute Geoge Bush set foot in the White House.
