I consider this election to be re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
However, I will like the way they are arranged if Trump wins.
But if Hillary wins, I don’t think much will change. It will continue its slide until we get a few more Timothy McVeys and, of course the final financial meltdown takes place.
I’m shocked at how adaptable the people are. When I predicted, in 2007 on Seattlebubble.com that house prices could fall 20%, it was like I predicted a RoadWarrior future. Even I thought it sounded like crazy talk, but I stood by it.
Well, prices dropped more than twice that much in many areas of the City and county. Suddenly everyone has a friend or two in foreclosure or walking away, and often they were too.
So, what was the respons? People started talking about buying opportunities and laughing at real estate ads. What Nobody said, “OMG, the sky really DID fall!” Nope. It just became the new normal.
Just like the Soviet Union after the revolution, and just as the US has become today. It is barely a shadow of what it was, because all of the frogs have been slowly boiled alive.
If Hillary is elected, it will just continue, and we will adapt, as Dagney Taggart did, until the bitter end.
And yes, the bitter end is quickly approaching:

Well, if nothing else Glenn Beck agrees with you...
