106, in many less words, said what I said in my post and what R. Guinn also stated in very eloquent terms.

That all seems to be adding background to MK's basic thesis. SP needs either additional BG or very detailed explanations and then maybe read them.
Understanding the economy as it relates to POLITICIANS provides one with a much better general understanding of things far beyond the garbage spread by the liberal socialistic propaganda spread by 100% of the so-called news-media that controls the minds of far too many people in this country.

Kind of like when the $100,000 annual (max. by law?)contributor to G. Bush Sr., Frank Lorenzo took down Eastern Airlines and Congress passed a law to check all that out which GB promptly vetoed. Congress said "we tried,". Looked Good!! GB stopped it and the big-money boys stayed intact and all the losers were the 50,000 employees that lost nearly everything. 180,000 modelers are a drop in the bucket and they will not have any chad to hold on to. Look at Enron. All same. It is all about $$$$$$ and Power, and not the power in the latest .46.
