And unfortunately for everyone, he's the same as the old boss. It's a pity, but not unexpected. I suppose we can take some solace in the idea that we're no worse off today than we were yesterday.
Of course, 3 months down the road, who knows how things will be. After all, the "fiscal cliff" looms. While I'm all for a smaller government, I'd prefer a bit more thought in achieving it. Ax murders tend to be messy and have unpredictable outcomes.
It seems that the stock markets don't particularly care for the election outcome; the Dow Industrials are down almost 300, while gold and oil are skidding as well. I'm guessing that traders see the economic downturn continuing, but that's just a guess.
I will be taking in a gun show this weekend. Thankfully I'm in good shape in that area; I just want to see if the panic buying approaches the same level as it did 4 years ago.
On the way out, let me thump the drum of your preparations for disaster or hard times. They're coming. We've seen (again) what a weather event can do to unprepared areas and their inhabitants. Many of us are expecting some sort of long-term bad economy if not outright bust. You need to position yourselves against those things. Maybe the don't happen today, tomorrow or in the next year--but they will happen. Get ready now while it's still easy to do.
