I attended a lecture today which went over the basis of what will happen between now and 09' depending on the election results. I found it very informative even though I have not been very involved with politics this year, but we went over four main topics:
On the geopolitical topic, there was some talk about the US/China relations and so far it looks as though everything will be fine. But what really caught my attention was our Pakistanian worries. Apparently we discovered that they had 50 nuclear bombs? I don't know if this is old news, but it really caught my attention.
:eusa_naughty:
- How close are we to a recession and what the government will do about it
- Taxes
- The election
- Geopolitics
- The Fed will have to do some "heavy lifting"
- The "stimulus package" (which is the hope that the election year will have a big impact on the economy.
- Trying to reduce the budget deficit
- pay for new plans for elected president
- Rich are not paying enough in taxes (kind of chuckled when I heard that)
- Bush tax cuts will be expiring soon
