Economic Armageddon?

[BulldogPaulUGA]

So with the melt down of China's currency, and Rand Paul's warning, is it time to gird our loins? Terrorists running lose, computer hackers flexing their power, a Socialist in the White House, is it time to liquidate and move to the mountains?

Yes

The mountains are actually getting to be a pretty expensive place to go. I am not sure where I would go right now.

Hank Paulsen is hiding out on little St Simons pretending to be a conservationist. Why do you think of all the places he could go he ended up there.

Perspective: Go look at a 25 year price chart of commodities. They are near an historical low level reflective of over-supply & under-demand as is normal in ALL economic cycles. BUT they are showing signs of recovering and moving higher indicative of strengthening demand.... meaning improvement is ahead though likely not at a fast clip over the near term. It just takes time to turn an economic battleship around and the worse the initial downturn the longer slower it usually is. There are zero shortcuts. Also, the last 2 years of ALL non-incumbent presidents terms have mostly not been great for markets along with moderate / slow economic growth. Patience. The pendulum will swing but can you say, "Madam President"?

Anyone else but a top democrat candidate for pres. would be through. She should be indicted for using a private email system for transmitting top secret data. She is also a compromised candidate since she accepting millions from a multitude of foreign countries who expect a return on their investment. She has exhibited questionable judgment as secy of state. I know u are lib but it scary to think of such a dishonest and compromised person as president.

Dishonest and compromised like, say, Richard M. Nixon?

Nixon is a boyscout (before they went gay) compared to Hillary.

You've proclaimed you're credentials as a professional historian, and you're strict adherence to the Uniform Code of Military Justice when challenged on Allen West. That said, I'll ask you, Why is Hillary so special, or different, and why she doesn't have to adhere to the US Penal Code? Why isn't she being held, by the libs, to the same standards?
I'll quote you, whitepug:

I've never said HRC is special or different. I'm not a fan of hers as a presidential candidate, her personality reminds me too much of Richard M. Nixon's.


Actually, 18 US 1924 is more applicable to Hillary Clinton than the statute you cited:

"(a) Whoever, being an officer, employee, contractor, or consultant of the United States, and, by virtue of his office, employment, position, or contract, becomes possessed of documents or materials containing classified information of the United States, knowingly removes such documents or materials without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or materials at an unauthorized locationshall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.

(b) For purposes of this section, the provision of documents and materials to the Congress shall not constitute an offense under subsection (a).

(c) In this section, the term “classified information of the United States” means information originated, owned, or possessed by the United States Government concerning the national defense or foreign relations of the United States that has been determined pursuant to law or Executive order to require protection against unauthorized disclosure in the interests of national security."

Ideally, she probably should be indicted for violating either statute. Realistically, I doubt any federal prosecutor wants any part of indicting her.

The wild card in all this is President Obama. I would be asking the following questions:

Does he want a President Clinton?
Does he trust a President Clinton to "preserve his legacy"?
Does he prefer someone else to represent the Democratic Party?
Does he want someone to win all the primaries, only to be forced out of the race before the Democratic Convention because that someone got arrested and is facing what amounts to be a life sentence?
