Market must love to see the White House shut down.
I can't wait for the next Reaganesque presidential nominee to announce that when he/she takes office, the first thing he/she will do is open the White House back up to the American people. And if that means cutting aid to Palestine, so be it. As it is, the $500 million for Palestine announced this past weekend would pay for more than 145 years of White House tours. At a 3% return on the $500 million, the Palestinian aid would pay for almost five years of White House tours. One can generate 3% return by investing in the company run by the president's economic adviser: GE.
And so it goes.
