2. Supply side economics. What do you think is going on right now? Do you think that this is just the unwinding of the housing bubble or do you think this might be the unwinding of a 25 year credit bubble. Think about that.

I hate to inform you of this but Russia is still our enemy. Maybe we are not at cold war status but they aint our friend. The problem with this theory is that in negotiations you have to give and take and what exactly does Iran or North Korea or radical Islam as a whole have to offer us? They will ask for things that we dont want to or shouldnt do like give them weapons, money, both or worse, credability.
Like Obama is going to call Iran and tell them " Hey dude, dont nuke us, I am lot cooler than that Bush guy. here is a few billion to use at your discretion" and they will love us? The easiest way to maintain power is to have a primary enemy for your population that you can blame for your own shortcomings. We are that excuse. Why would they want to lose that edge? Because Obama has a nice personality?
Blaming supply side for the current crisis is like blaming United and American for 9/11. Socialism is far from the answer despite our recent left leaning bent from the govt.
Like I said yesterday, neither Obama or McCain is very good, unfortunately they are all we have.
