“On the larger economy: recovery will begin when the big players are sure it will not get worse.”

Do you know what this really means on a practical level? This simply is another way of saying that the overall investment community and other financial experts are hoping that Barack Obama lied during his campaign for president. Subconsciously, if not even consciously, these people want the newly elected leader to be a secret conservative Republican! Everybody possessing a lick of sense rejects the foolishness of a command economy. The only exceptions are those who will be directly rewarded by handouts from the taxpayers.
