    It's really not that hard.

    Put $5M in the bank earning 2%. Live reasonably well off the $100k/year for the rest of your life.

    Or bonds earning 5%. Live very nicely off the $250k/year for the rest of your life.

    They should be.

    If AAPL was priced like a typical tech stock, with typical growth, they would have a PE of about 50. A stock price of about $2200. And a market cap of $3 trillion dollars.

    Yet, they're an above average tech growth company. >40% earnings growth for the last 5 years.

    You seriously aren't paying attention.

    Cheap computing may be good for customers, but it sure as hell isn't for the manufacturers.

    Amazon doesn't make any profits. At all. That's not really a good business model, unless you're a non-profit.

    Also, for some reason, AMZN's model seems to be better valued on Wall Street, with a PE of >3100, in spite of the fact that they basically have no profits for like a decade. But AAPL, with huge growth of profits only has a PE of 13.

    Wait, you mean tax and spend is a better fiscal idea than tax-cut and spend?

    I think somewhat.

    At least the Republican agenda won't solely consist of trying to get Obama out of office.

    They'll probably want to look a little better for the next election.

    US voters get exactly the government they deserve.

    Jobs?

    According to the WSJ (not a left leaning publication), after fixing Bush's failings, jobs under Obama have been going up WHILE he's been reducing gov't head count.

    It's not so much who does it, it's that the entire country lives on top of their geothermal station.
