2. I thought Cheyney, Bush, Clinton, Gore, etc. had to put their money in blind trusts just to avoid this kind of thing?

When hit with some facts that don't look so good, joke and carry on like it never happen, and hope that it goes away...

You are correct in that there is nothing we can do about it. But that shouldn't stop people from knowing the truth. Hard working people that invest their moneies in our country, and yet he is banking on failure.ccrobinson said:What do you propose we do about it, Jamie? You don't see making jokes as a good answer, so you must have something in mind that we should be doing. We don't have an opportunity to vote them out of office and I don't see this generating any kind of impeachment process, so what are we to do other than a) make jokes, or b) sigh in disgust at the "leaders" that we elected? Or, we can do both a) and b).
There are things that can be done on an individual level to prepare. One potentially prudent move would be to get out of the Federal Reserve Monopoly money and put that paper into something that will have value after the "dollar" collapses.ccrobinson said:What do you propose we do about it, Jamie?

ConterPunch is left wing. Mike Whitney is left wing. And this article could not be found in the archives of Kiplinger. Where I assume it would be since it was written in July of last year. MY point is made and validated.JamieinNH said:Well, your point falls way short since this article was first found in Kiplinger. Do you know of, or have you ever heard of Kiplinger?
Maybe you should do a little background work before you jump the gun with these far fetched ideas of yours.

Go look at the link I provided. It's from Kiplinger's site.2 Timothy2:1-4 said:... And this article could not be found in the archives of Kiplinger. Where I assume it would be since it was written in July of last year. MY point is made and validated.
Isn't that exactly what you were and still are doing with the Democrat led congress? The election didn't even grow cold before you started to spout off. So don't talk to me about speculation. It's one of your many games.carpro said:Sheer speculation.
Until then what? Wait until we find out the truth and that the dollar is going to get hit? By then it's too late.carpro said:When you can prove that Cheney actually directs where his investments have gone for the past 6 years, you might have a point to make.
Until then...
Thanks Tom for at least having the backbone to tell it like it is. People do need to watch out for themselves, and not expect SS to take care of everything.TomVols said:Kiplinger is not left wing by any stretch. And how is this news? Both Bush and Cheney's financial managers (who act independently) have each in age-appropriate investment vehicles.
Naturally, the hacks on the left see this as more cannon fodder. It isn't. Blind trusts are just that. Seems like smart financial advice for two sets of aging soon-to-be retirees.
I'm curious as to the portfolio holdings of those who are so "outraged" by this. I would bet that you have similar holdings in each of your portfolios.
One piece of advice to all. Seek a competent financial advisor for your retirement needs. Don't count on SS to bail you out. Take control of your financial future.
