Gene's Footnotes

I have never been impressed by the messenger and always inspect the message, which I now understand is not the norm. People prefer to filter out discordant information. As such, I am frequently confronted with, "Where did you hear that...." Well, here you go. If you want an email version, send me an email.

Monday, Monday

Morning.

While I am more of a mind to worry about me and mine, as is what happens when the community dissolves, I can see a shimmer of a change.

1. Obama's approval rating is only 47%, his lowest since taking office when he was at 65%.  While his approval rating has dropped 18%, his disapproval rating has climbed from 30% to 52% in only 10 months. 
2. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's approval rating in her own state of California is only 34%. 
3. Senator Harry Reid is behind in his re-election campaign in NV by 10% ("Sue Lowden beating Reid by 10%, 50% to 40%. Lowden is chairwoman of the Nevada Republican Party and the preferred candidate of the Republican party establishment.  GOP hopeful Danny Tarkanian beats Reid by seven points, 50% to 43%"). 
4. In the race for California's next governor in 2010, Republican Meg Whitman and Democrat Jerry Brown are tied at 41% each. 
5. After Pelosi's bill passed the House, the public was against the bill 54% v. 42%.  Even CA comes in at 51%, down 4% since last week.
 
So, while trying to prepare for either deflation or inflation (Greg says the government won't permit deflation),  a way to vanish before a new facism (Hilary says in America we tax everyuting that moves),  or decide upon a new homeland, there does seem a small hope.

Of course, the malfactors are taken care of, why defy those who elect you, and the new fascism will take root like a foreign weed, which is is, there is still a chance that the pendulum swing will be cleansing.  In the meantime, get out of your 401k and don't depend on the USD.
