Interesting article about Obama and money
« on: November 01, 2008, 01:09:09 AM »
This column describes money in a way I've never thought of before, and I'm certain that Obama has never thought of.

I'd be interested to hear the opinions of those more financially astute than I am.

The column is here.

I'll read it again after I get up.  His fingers left his hand about 1/2 way down first page.

That is scarily simple, and I really wish the welfare recipients could read that, and understand it.
I wonder if Obama has read anything like it?

Unfortunately, the people who can grasp his argument are not the people likely to vote for Obama.

He's right but people who don't have but want anyway don't care.  We left the realm of adult economics some time ago.

Obama voters are the people who would eat the stored seeds, then complain when there was nothing to plant next season.
