Plus, President McCain will make some (none / 1)

attempt to balance the US budget, maybe gutting Social Security when the shock of the interest rate rise ripples through the middle-class and working-class segments of the economy and the state and local fiscal situations cause serious crises providing enough shock for justification of austerity measures.

The good news for me is that the dollar isn't likely to stay at $1.55 USD/EUR, so I won't be converting my cash quite yet.

Hell, maybe I'd better vote McCain.
