There Is Reason For Longer-Term Optimism


I can't go into details this morning about exactly why, or what.

But if you've followed me for any length of time at all you know that I have been extremely negative when it comes to our government budgetary process and the prospects for us to have a sustainable environment in that regard at any time in the reasonable future.

My opinion is now shifting toward positive, believe it or not.

I cannot go into exactly why. All I can tell you at the present time is that there are a number of people in the US Senate who have "gotten it" for some time, and now it appears that this is spreading to The House.

Now I could easily be wrong, and if I am I'll say so as soon as I know.

But cautious optimism is now creeping into the pattern of activity, despite the short term debt-ceiling reprieve vote.

Sausage tastes good, but nobody wants to see how it's made.

Sausage is being made.

Stay tuned.
