Would you buy a used car from this marketplace? The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) can tell you a lot about how the US economy is doing. From this graph I would have to say that the US isn't doing too well. Is this because the US government is overspending? Is this because the US government is overtaxing? Is this because the "leadership" of the Republican Party and Democratic Party have absolutely no clue what to do to avert a partial collapse of the domestic mortgage lending industry? Is there anybody who knows that the solution is to unleash the creative energies of the people and businesses of the USA? There is. His name is Ron Paul and he is running for president. I hope enough people out there will learn about his position on overspending and overtaxing.
