MADNESS IN WASHINGTON, WHILE THE STOCK MARKET TUMBLES

The launch of the Federal website for people to sign up for Obamacare has been disastrous, to say the least.  The browser froze on my computer while I was reading an article about the site on CNBC for crying out loud!  Probably not related to the problems on the site itself, just thought it was kind of an amusing coincidence.  At any rate, they've got a lot of problems to work out there.

Both sides in Washington are acting like a bunch of drama queens.  We all know it's just politics and they're going to have to come to some kind of agreement sooner or later, all this carrying on is undignified and unbecoming.  Makes me embarrassed that these are the people who are supposed to be representing us.  Doesn't matter which side you're on.  The Democrats are acting like the playground bully, brow beating the Republicans and the Republicans are acting like the stubborn little kid who knows he should just cut his losses and walk away but is too worried about making himself look more pitiful than he already does.  There's been so much talk in the past few years about bullying in schools, wonder where they learned it from???  Grow up people!

In the mean time, the economy and particularly the stock market, is taking a beating.  While that might be good if you're on the buying side, at least for a while, hopefully it's not going to set off a total train wreck.  Not so sure we're not headed there anyway.  It just seems as though the people in Washington are doing their very best to wreak havoc on the U.S. economy at every turn.

So where do we go from here?  I'm sticking to my plan and moving forward.  Hopefully the people in Washington can get their acts together and move on as well.
