The first was Woodrow Wilson who had a stroke in office while the U.S. was voting on Joining the League of Nations.

The second was Franklin Roosevelt who was in poor health at the Yalta Conference and died about the same time that the Allies had an opportunity to move on the Berlin in World War II. The opportunity to take Berlin was lost as a consequence.

The third was Dwight Eisenhower who had a stroke and was suffering from depression just before a disarmament summit with the Soviet Union. Because of his depression, generals and technicians convinced him to make one last U-2 flight over the Soviet Union. The U-2 was shot down and the summit was cancelled. This led to three more decades of the Cold War according to several historians.

I have scratched my head for years when I pull up a web browser to check my financials and see that the market is CLOSED, yet there is this thing called “after hours”. My question is why? This is like the store closing and then opening a gambling casino in the back room. Again, why is the market CLOSED,. yet some are allowed to continue to trade. Closed means closed.

In addition, the SEC allows, in its rules and regulations, these individuals named analysts to say any and everyting they want to say about companies that they are even allowed to own stock in. I see this as the biggest corruption of the US. How is this any different than insider trading? I work for a company and read stuff that is so far from the truth all the time from these analysts that drives the stock in one way or another. Why is this allowed and again, I feel this is killing our economy and making these analysts rich at the sake of millions of others.

All I have to say it that this is a sad state of affairs when corrupt indivuals are allowed to get away with our hard earned money.

If McCains proposal to put Social Security in the Market and additionally to take a trillion $ out of Medicare & Medicaid programs then all those programs would virtually become bankrupt and eliminated for Seniors by his device.

What will happen to Seniors who receive nursing home services funded for them by those eliminated programs?

Do Seniors understand the issue well enough to vote.
