There is zero reason to put the economy first in this election cycle.
None.
Zip.
NADA.
Why? Because the Euro is going to collapse. Nothing can head that off, or even delay it beyond late summer of 2013. When it goes, Asia will collapse financially with the Europeans.
Anyone who is not aware that we are financially chained to this whole mess is living in a fantasy world. There is every likelyhood that war will be engulfing much of the world soon
Hang on to your freedoms, and make your electoral decisions based on things that will last. Your wealth isn’t one of them...no matter who is elected.
