Saving the Economy…

As I said in an earlier post we are seeing the tip of the iceberg in terms of the financial crisis. I was heartened to hear that congress was working in bipartisan fashion to solve this problem. Obviously, the Bush administrations plan of no oversight is not a good idea, but we do need to do something about this impending disaster.

But my panic light went on today when talks broke down after McCain showed up, not that he was solely responsible, but he did use the crisis to try to look like a hero when he clearly doesn’t have any answers or even knowledge of what’s going on. As I said in an earlier post McCain would plunge this country and the world into the worst depression ever (based on his aspects to the Dow Jones, and of course now that the world is interlinked all the markets would crash) and this couldn’t be more illuminated in just his slightest touch of involvement unraveling the talks. According to reports coming out McCain had nothing to say at the meeting, but obviously tried to use it politically.

And by the way the Republicans have caused this mess — a free market without rules isn’t free. Deregulation is what caused this. Deregulation or no regulation is China’s case has doesn’t work. We put regulations in place for formula after babies started dying when formula companies watered milk down. Babies died of malnutrition in this country, the US. This is exactly what happened in China just recently, but instead of water they used melamine to try to falsely boost the protein levels in tests.

Regulations are laws — like us the normal everyday citizens have to abide by, such as you can’t kill, steal or rape someone. No regulation is akin to abolishing punishment for criminals. Companies policing themselves has never worked, because it is not in their best interest, as we are seeing in this banking debacle.

So all of you who think the market will correct itself, that deregulation is good for the economy — here’s the result: global DEPRESSION! It may have worked in the short term for companys to be able to gobble each other up. We’ve seen the melt down of the music industry partially from this cannibalistic approach. That’s a whole other story and another article if anyone is interested.

But its safe to say cutting off all the arteries to your heart will eventually kill you.

Selling your stocks…

I’m sorry to those out there who I haven’t gotten to yet about their stocks. I’m working on it. There’s been a lot going on and I will do the charts ASAP so keep checking the blog. I will tag the company charts without referring to the person asking questions.

What is going on with John McCain? the Tarot Answers…

He is now aware that Sarah Palin is a liability. He’s in over his head with the economic crisis. According to the tarot he has checked out, and is deeply afraid of losing. With the tower at the root of his problem it looks like something disastrous really rattled him, we know about the economic crisis but he’s not being entirely upfront as he has the seven of swords reversed in his place of advantage, meaning he’s lying about something. It looks like a combination of things are happening. He’s trying to better position himself politically and thinks this will change the tide of his down turn, but the public is losing confidence in him. I really think the tower card in his case was also news that he is sick. I wrote an earlier post about how his health did not look good according to his astrological chart.

A part of me wonders if he realizes he might not make it long into his presidency and is freaking out because he realizes he’s put the country in a precarious position by nominating Sarah Palin — a woman he barely knew and as he’s getting to know her, he’s lost confidence and doesn’t believe she could take over. Plus his legacy would be: that of the guy who died in office after impulsively selecting a running mate, who would be legendary in how terrible she governed.

Maybe for McCain just being the Republican candidate is enough. I’m beginning to wonder if his subconscious is at war with his conscious mind — a part of him doesn’t really want the job, but just the glory. Perhaps this is why he is being so erratic and impulsive. He’s operating more like a guy in a war, jumping into a fox hole for cover in a crisis, than like a leader.

In an earlier post I looked at McCain’s chart in relationship to the economic crisis, and the economy in general. It looked like cyanide to our economy which we really don’t need right now. So far it looks like his visit to Washington actually set back plans for a bail out. There was bipartisan agreement and they were working out details when McCain showed up. Harry Reed suggested he babbled incoherently during the last few minutes of the meeting and no one understood what he was talking about. 

There are so many missteps in the McCain campaign what Chris Mathews calls “razzle dazzle,” do something crazy to take the heat off when something negative comes up about McCain or Palin. But I think it’s more insane than that. I really don’t think he can handle the stress and is really not cut out to be a leader. He freaks out under pressure and acts irrationally which is a very dangerous quality in a president. I wonder if “Maverick,” isn’t polite code for crazy like in the old days when they called crazy millionaires eccentric.

I really think the whole issue with why he doesn’t want to attend the debate is many fold, but here are some of the key points.

1) He doesn’t want to answer questions about the economy. He doesn’t fully get what’s going on and knows it. He hasn’t had time to cram for that which was supposed to be a later debate, but with it being so prevalent in the press, it will get brought up.

2) It’s all about him. He’s acting as if he’s already won the election — he’s narcissitic and is holding the US hostage while he can, trying to gain as much attention as he can while he can. 

3) He’s afraid Obama will run verbal circles around him and he’ll come off looking like a doddering idiot.

4) A part of him is self-destructive because he knows he’s really not capable of becoming president and is throwing a monkey wrench in his campaign like he did by nominating Sarah Palin without vetting her.

5) He’s having a fight or flight reaction and can’t control himself emotionally.

John McCain? What’s up?

Can he not deal with crisis? Cause that’s kind of one of the most important job’s the president is supposed to be able to do, and more importantly he/she should be good at handling crisis. If McCain was in power when the trade center was hit would he have done what Bush did, sit for 7 minutes reading to a group of kids while our country was attacked and then fly around in a airplane all day afraid to touch down.

If anything this is PURE POLITICS on McCain’s part. He said he didn’t know anything about the economy so how does he plan on solving this problem? He was supposedly incoherent in the latest meeting about the bail-out, uttering a few minutes worth of bizarre verbiage that no one could make sense of as the meeting ended.

It seems McCain can’t handle the heat, doesn’t know anything about the economy is afraid this will come up in the debate and is trying to cover for his crazy “soul mate,” Sarah Palin. From what I’ve heard McCain wanted to reschedule the presidential debate during what would be the vice-presidential debate. Now that’s convenient. I guess they don’t want the ice princess to melt under the spotlight.
