Without Term Limits the Markets Fail

Corruption of government servants is becoming so obvious that they don’t seem to care if the markets fail.

And they’ve become a plague on our society.

To prove a point, all you need to do is look at the number of Congress Critters who’ve been in office 20, 30, or even 40+ years, and see what they’ve accomplished.

Slim to none…and slim left town.

Unfortunately, they spend most of their time seeking re-election instead of working for the people they swore to protect.

Cue up: Mitch McConnell who continues to stab his own party in the back…just like he did with Trump.

And what’s really sad is how certain politicians (Cough! Pelosi, Hairball Cough!) go as far as saying that Social Security is an entitlement or some kind of charity/handout.

Ironic, isn’t it?

You pay into SS for 30-40+ years and they call it an entitlement?

Look at some of the Congressional benefits that they very conveniently overlook:

1. Free healthcare (Premium benefits)
2. Outrageous retirement packages
3. 67 paid holidays
4. Three weeks paid vacation
5. Unlimited paid sick days

And their starting salary starts at a whopping $174,000+.

Is it any wonder why, once elected, politicians constantly seek re-election?

The markets know that politics in DC will eventually force money to move elsewhere…and the smart money always moves ahead of the crowd.

When Markets Fail

The big question is, WHEN.

A lot of this hinges on whether or not we can vote in term limits in the mid-terms.

Because, without term limits Congress critters will keep bleeding the taxpayers while stuffing their coffers.

They’ll also continue their freakish reality show in front of their bought-and-paid-for presstitutes to make it seem like they have your interests in mind.

Politics is show biz for ugly people.

The imminent loss of confidence in government is where this circus is heading.

And the slippery slope they’re on is getting slipperier.

Once confidence gone – which could be any time soon – all bets are off.

However, don’t be fooled by the markets knee jerk reactions that we’re seeing in 2022, The Year of a Man-Made Depression.

Stay on top of it by going (HERE).

And share this with a friend…especially if they hate Mitch McConnell.

They’ll thank YOU later.

And remember: We’re Not Just About Finance.
