  1. It's too soon for an exponential trend failure label, but my trigger finger is definitely twitching. Sigh.

    % chance starting a claim

    New normal I guess. The good-times of the 1990s and 2000s may not come back.

    At least we had good timing for our careers.

    Actually as I've said I think if Romney wins they'll be able to spin the wheel one more time for everyone.

    Not sure how, but the government can be very, very powerful when it desires to be.

  3. Troy,

    Give me four years' time - 1937

    I'm not comparing Romney to Hitler by the way. I'm simply backing your point that government can be very, very powerful when it desires to be.

  4. This $800B/yr military ain't going to pay for itself!

    Like Nazi Germany in the 1930s, gotta use it or lose it!

    We need to pay 6% income taxes just for our military expense:

    Somehow I doubt that came up in Ryan's speech last night.

    Another 18% for social benefits:
