My gosh, aren't things a mess?
I sent an e-mail to our Governor telling them how to fix it (the economy) but it must be too simple.
In simple I mean to enforce a redundant reduction of imports from China.
Use the tarp/stimulus monies to fund new manufacturing of those currently imported through the SBA. The only requirement being they are American owned, employ Americans and ban unions.

I guess this will create hard feelings with China but they are killing us ecnomically and trying to poison us at the same time.
The free trade agreeement will be shattered but who cares? Hard times call for hard line measures.

But I don't have the ear of any politician so I doubt he'll ever see the e-mail. Shame as things are going to be very very bad soon.

I've turned very conservative in the past month so I'm playing on the puter rather than running amouck looking for treasure. Buying physical gold and silver as a hedge against our failing dollar. I see silver going back above $20 oz.

I don't trade the commodity markets anymore. No charts so I don't know what's going on with them.
