Economy 2009
Can we make it?
Will the US economy survive the challenges of 2009 and come to dominate the 21st century financially?
America Has High Hopes at Inauguration
Our economy lies in shambles and the future of American financial dominance seems in doubt. There's an expectation that Obama will be looking out for the regular people, the working folk... Is this expectation based on pure hope or is there a reason to suspect he's truly different than the Washington elite he's filled his cabinet with? Is there a reason to suspect he won't be repaying the banks and financiers who helped bankroll his campaign and the party machine he is indebted to?

Federal Reserve Out of Control
Central bank policy dominates market discussions
The effect on the consumer is profound - with hundreds of billions pouring into the system the cost of money is going to crash and likewise commodity prices have risen to all-time record highs and seem as if they could just keep going higher.
Unfortunately, we can't "vote out" Ben Bernanke. His contract lasts for 12 years and so we're stuck with him! Some argue it wouldn't even matter, because it is Greenspan's legacy of rock-bottom interest rates that got us into this mess and almost anything Bernanke can do will never really "undo" the effect of that on the U.S. economy - particularly home values and inflation.
Now the Fed fights a double-sided battle against inflation and insolvency. The dollar is in a race to the bottom, and yet the Fed keeps printing them anyway.

Does it Matter who is Elected?
The panel came to a nearly unanimous conclusion: It doesn't matter who is elected at all because we can't afford any of their plans.
Parties in Chaos
Republicans and Democrats face grumblings from the base
Voter dissatisfaction is at an all-time high, and the popularity of our elected representatives in Washington D.C. is at an all-time low.
Will the party loyalists fall in line by November, or is there an opening in this election for a third or even fourth party to make a mark?
Barr aims at McCain
Libertarian hopes to capture conservative base
Barr's strategy is to go to the right for McCain's conservative flank. Many typical Republicans haven't been typically happy with Bush and McCain as representatives, and there's a feeling that they've spent too much money on the wars, on failed bureaucratic systems like 'No Child Left Behind,' and on contracts for their corporate buddies.
This is the type of conservative Republican that Barr is hoping to win over against McCain. Will Barr be a 'spoiler' who causes McCain to lose? Nah, John McCain can probably lose on his own without any help. However, McCain and Bush's lack of popularity could give Barr, and the libertarian party, a significant boost.
