Better than gold (which will probably be called in soon like FDR did) and one could even say, a patriotic Homeland Security investment instrument. Propping up the current paper investment system makes for a bigger crash at the eventual reckoning. Ever increasing energy problems will flatten growth and take away the return factor always counted on by paper mavens. Returning to tangible asset backing, in this case transport rolling stock & support facilities, the USA has a last chance to protect savings, while assuring needed tooling-up for Energy Independence. How do you stand, Mssrs. Obama & Mc Cain? Use Swan's ELECTRIC WATER for operating manual.

Putting 1 trillion to hold up Wall Street et. al., and those irresponsible, want it now, want it bigger/better even if I can't afford it home (even auto) buyers/investors. Yep, that's what I'm forced to pay for, again. Question...where are the 'names' of any WS or other folks to prosecute? (Enron veeps were verdicted fairly quickly.) What a mess we've gotten ourselves into...greed will get us in the end. Wait, it's getting us now--- Can’t support infrastructure, Fred.
