The US stock market is hitting highs seen right before the financial crisis even as the government continues to bungle the sequester and creating a real fiscal plan for the US. I do not know what to make of this situation except to believe that people really want to invest and get out of this malaise for the past 5 years. I really thought that the POTUS or congress would step up and start realising we can't maintain our debt unless people think it's so much better in the US than in Europe. The debt spigot and cheap money will eventually end and then we will realise the impact of doing nothing. Only in government can you promise something that will never happen and ignore when people talk about it.
