Oh that’s just excellent. The Republicans win the biggest House sweep since the Coolidge Era (63 seats) and then go full Barney Frank belly up to the Messiah on the Great Tax Cut Showdown.
Sure, they kept the Bush 2003 Tax Cuts…
For two whole years! Someone with an economic brain in their head please tell me… what does that do exactly? How in the heck do these morons in Congress expect anyone in honest business to plan for anything with the Tax Sword of Damocles hanging over their head again for another two years?
It’s the Uncertainty, idiots! I think I shall propose an Amendment to the Constitution that might save us all heartache…. I will propose that every Congresscritter get at least 10 hours in university-level economics, with Econ 101 being mandatory in the syllabus.
And what’s the icing on the cake?
No, no… I mean besides Obama getting another chance to spout his tele-prompted class warfare inanities over and over (he is SO tedious) to the increasingly skeptical (and sparse) television audience…
No, the icing is this 13-months (yes, MONTHS!) of additional unemployment bennies agreed to by the spaghetti noodle “GOP Leadership” along with this useless extension. Yeah, that oughtta REALLY help knock down the unemployment rate. Just like it’s done in Europe, the original mother land of the Permanant 10% Loafing Community.
Hey, who cares, right? The other 90% of the working stiff community will pay for it, right? And hey, think of the incentive all those business owners have to try to entice those toadsuckers off the dole with their TWO WHOLE YEARS of low capital gains rates!
Seriously, it’s days like this that could drive a sensible citizen — one who believes in the true and original precepts of this country — to bleak despair.
And please, fellow conservatives, don’t come back to me with the following trope: “This will be great for the Republicans! Now we KNOW unemployment will be 12% in 2012, and we can GUARANTEE Barack is done and gone!”
Sorry, Homey don’t play that schist. I am a citizen of this beautiful country first and foremost, and if my party’s leaders are playing this two year collapse as a gaming strategy, then in my book they are as DONE as Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the useless sods in Congress.
Six weeks after the election and already I’m getting my firehouse out. Time to ream out the Augean Stables once again!

All of the above will only continue to crucify the dollar on a cross of paper mache, but that is little solace to me. I sold some EXK today and more of my AGQ, but left everything else be. I will likely continue to trim tomorrow, for reasons mentioned on Sunday night.
All of these moves are temporary, and completed in order to raise cash for reinvestment after an expected pullback in the soon to be vastly popular PM markets.
My heart aches.
