One sliver of hope: When Sen. Obama is President, the government will no longer be spending, it will be investing — as in “We need to invest in a rescue package for government employee pension funds if we want those folks to keep coming to work.” Well, do we?

The problem is, Barney Frank crawled out on the wing of the financial bi-plane (it flies both ways) and sawed off the end. So now it is a wing without a prayer. The government has become the Flatliner of the markets while the “Dreamliner” of state is spiraling down — and to the Left.

Not to worry: The Federal Government will invest for all of US so we will no longer need markets — only lines and ration cards. Affordable Health care, anyone? Soup kitchens?
