I don't normally like to mix politics with investing, however I think it's unavoidable in our current climate. The current Administration seems to be hell-bent on doing all possible to bring our economy down, everywhere from it's massive spending, more than doublling our nation's debt, to the current stranglehold on the banks.

All of this spending and absolutely little to nothing to show for it. What is happening to all this "money"? What will it do to inflationary pressures in the future? Why have jobs continue to be lost instead of "created or saved"?

We need to replace the current inexperienced cronies with a group of men and women who are truly concerned about the current situation in our USA, and who believe in business, Made in America, decreased Government regulation and tax incentives in lieu of disincentives.

Hopefully Scott Brown is a start; his election certainly spoke volumes about the people's dissatisfaction with the current Administration.

If we don't make the correct changes, we'll continue to be in deep trouble - if not now, definitely later.

I just got off "the red phone" with Prez O'Bomba himself and he told me the erection of Scott Brown in Taxachusetts is the reason he lowerd da boom on da banks today. "The writing" is now on the wall for the midterm erections and I promus...you are gonna see some BIG names that will not be herd from politically again. *-) Prez O'Bomba has come to the realization that he is already a lame duck unless he does sumphin to gain favor with the sheeple. You can't honestly tell me you sssthink stealing $Trillions$ from yer grandkids so that the moneyrunner banks can benefit is the status quo you want to go uninterrupted. I say kudos to Prez O'Bomba ...even tho he is in fackt still a 1 term Prez. He had his chance to be a troo American hero but sided with Wall St erly on and let the moneyrunners push thangs past the point of no solution.... cept 1. Don't be angry about the future of "crash n bern" for yer stock portfolio...your house...purty much everything you own of value. This is GRRRREAT for America! 2010...the year "the little guy" fights back! Oh yeeeeeeeeah baaaay beeeeee! Sorry...I'm gettin a tad too giddy....but I ain't a BOOHOOer like youhoo are...I'm a patriot. *-) 3J

"What is happening to all this "money"? "

It is replacing the trillions the banks are losing. That way the banks convert worthless debt (selling to the Fed) for better debt (buying government debt with proceeds of Fed sales) where the government acts as a thug and collects the debts from people who can pay it even though they never agreed to.

It won't be as inflationary as one might otherwise expect. The Fed will be forced to wipe out its debt because it can not be collected. But don't expect a major boom or anything. We are are going to languish and suffer.
