Hmmm. I've been thinking a lot lately about the timing of the "financial market meltdown," and the subsequent dive in the over all value of the average investor's portfolio [401(k), mutual funds, Roth's, etc). No, not that it is happening at the end of the reign of the ass hats known as Republicans, though the douche bags can be largely blamed with their blind, slavish devotion to killing any and all regulation that appears to impede unbridled greed. Rather, I've been thinking of the role/blame the Fed and other quasi-governmental organizations around the world. And if this was even partially intentional, why? My only plausible theory was the financial-withdrawal galaxy-sized black hole that is the fabled retirement of the Baby Boomers. What better way to reduce liability and rob them blind to the tune of trillions than to deflate the global economies for the first 10 or 20 years of this gargantuan wave of retirements? Just a thought.
