As much as you LOVE to trash the GOP (I am not a member of the GOP) they are the ONLY hope (in this two party system) that we have to get a grip. You also love to trash the tea party.

Who do you propose we elect, YOU?

very simple.

1- renounce any party membership. Be it Republican, Democrat or Tea Party.

2- if anyone from the above calls your home looking for money tell them to eat **************** and Die.

3-DO NOT....under any circumstances vote along party lines.

4- DO NOT EVER vote for the same politican twice.


If everyone dutifully carried out all of the above there might actually be substantive different between Republicans and Democrats. But since they know they each have their ultra reliable voters who would rather eat a fiberglass sandwich than vote for the other party any changes to the status quo amount to little more than a ton of rhetoric with marginal (at best) changes from one party to the next.

a fascinating set of charts from hedge fund manager Ritholtz.
They analyzed (using proper indexing) GDP growth, S&P 500 growth, deficts, increase in inflation and CPI, levels of federal consumption of spending, the rise of federal employees...over the last 5 Presidents. some surprising results, particularly during the Reagan era.
