Happy Birthday Gipper!

Goodness grief, it's the Gipper's birthday and I've never dedicated a single post to him?  What am I thinking!

Born in the land of Lincoln, we were given a man that captured the hearts, and more importantly, the minds of men and the world, Ronald Reagan would have turned 100 years old this day.  I would say that it is not a coincidence that less than 1 month ago we celebrated 1911 day; meaning good things truly do come in bunches. 

Without further ado, I give you two of Reagan's finest speeches that helped to shape America's history.  Enjoy. 

Century Bonds? Yeah, That'll Work!

When the yield curves are totally screwed, lengthen the term. 

I'm sure that will generate some wonderful demand.  I wonder what the price of a 100 year bond would look like?  Oh, that's right. 

Hello inflation! 

Parking Lot Attendents Earn 90+K

Massachusetts tax dollars hard at work.

And people wonder why we muni-bonds are about to go Tango Uniform. 

Ron Paul: We Need More WikiLeaks on Fed Res

Never one to be scared by controversy, Dr. Ron Paul is on the record as stating we need more public pressure on the Federal Reserve and Congress to make the Fed more transparent.

AMEN!

Jews Should Soundly Be Against Gun Control

Of any people on the face of the planet who should be against gun control, Jewish people should top the list.  Of course, those who live outside of Israel itself, seem to favor left of center, pro-grabber policy pitchmen, instead of participating in the freedom of self defense that those within the Jewish state practice on a daily basis.
