All the candidates can do is TALK about what they will do when they take over....don't hold your breath!!!!
The Democrats do have an opportunity to do something right now with their control over congress. That is not likely to happen until after the election. They will wait to see if Obama wins. If he does then we MAY see some heroic moves to make something helpful happen.....again don't hold your breath.
If Mcain wins, the congress will just continue their current track record resulting in more of the same.....DOING NOTHING!!!

Looking for the politicians to solve the problems of the American people is a long gone, concept that no longer exists.
As it hass EVERY time the country is in strife of one kind or another, free enterprise will ultimately bail us out.

As for the stock market, one can only look at it's history since record keeping.....IT ALWAYS RECOVERS.

If you want peace of mind. only watch network news on Sundays. The ups and downs may still be there but the volatility will certainly be less. For the best result,,,,just read TV Happy Paper only....no other media input.
