There Are Those Fat Poor People Again

I love Instapundit's take on this story..."from the 'headlines that wouldn't make sense fifty years ago' department". But I think this dances around the cold hard reality...

Bottom line...in the US, our poor people are fat, and they probably watch too much TV too. Like I said, we don't really have poverty in the US. If the only the rest of the world had such problems, where they're poor were too fat and watched too much TV.

TS-
I'm not good at predictions, but I will say this, I was optimistic going into 200 because so many people were pessimistic. Right now there are far fewer pessimistic people so I am completely on the fence. That said, without sounding partisan (because I am not loyal to a party, I am loyal to capitalism), I am afraid of what the new Congressional majority will try to pull off - they are a devoutly anti-capitalistic bunch. If I see stiff resistance to their agenda and the prospects of gridlock I will be bullish, if they meet with success on blocking free trade deals, raising taxes and expanding regulations I will turn bearish quickly.
Cheers and Happy New Year to You and Yours!
