Not because of anything our politicians do or because our workers are doing well but rather for the somewhat serendipitous reason that in a world where economies are crashing big money looks for a safe haven and the U.S. is it.

So for this reason capital is flowing into this country even though our economic picture looks grim. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
