"Donald Weber" wrote in message m... PC Wrote on Wednesday, January 20, 2010 3:39 PM I fail to see who this election really changes anything. The Democrats had a super majority and were largely ineffective. So now they don't have it. They will continue to be largely ineffective. They seem to have had a recent "attitude adjustment". That's a change. Hopefully, while there's still a haze over the chambers, we'll get a little more partisanship when crafting these monster bills, not that this will streamline the process. |

I wonder what would have happened to the dollar, gold, and silver if the Democrat had won in Massachusetts yesterday. Wall Street reportedly got giddy yesterday over the prospect of a Republican win, but that's apparently ancient history today. Darkening financial/political conditions in Euroland seem to be today's primary movement maker. China is on peoples' minds, and banking profits too. This stuff is all very ephemeral. ============= I do realize that the US dollar is not the only factor, or even always the prime factor, driving metals prices. But it still confounds me how this dollar strength seems to change back and forth daily. And the metals prices usually fluctuate in lockstep. I would think it should take at least several days of study to determine whether the dollar is indeed weak or strong and that gold & silver would stand by waiting for that decision rather than jumping around. I suppose if I took an economics course it would all become clear to me. A course in journalism would stand you in better stead. The lesson objective on the very first day in course 101: "As a journalist you have either time or column inches, or both, to fill up with something. Your job: Fill it." Any questions?

Conversely the Republicans managed to cram a lot of crappy legislation through with a simple majority in Bush's first six years. __________________________________________________ _______ I might point out that though the GOP controlled both Houses at the time, They did not have a super majority in the Senate and therefore it was necessary to get at least a few Democrats to go along with anything they wanted to pass. *A small point but an important one. I would characterize as something more like "folding like a cheap lawnchair" rather than "going along" but maybe that is just me. |
