Money/wealth/occupy/tea party/euro bonds/stock market/jobs/elections -- There's a lot to think about these days

We are less than a year away from the culmination of the quadrennial American hoopla known as a Presidential election year.  There are so many things on our minds these days that the 2012 election must be anticipated as critical to the country's future.  Some people talk about making political and governmental decisions on "gut instinct" or via other similar use of that part of the human anatomy.  In other words, ignore the facts and hope that it all goes away and things get better.  Ignorance preserves sanity.
