11. These are anxious times.

And is anyone paying attention to the election-year economic trends? We may get a worldwide recession in the next six to nine months. There are bad signs all over the place. That would make Sanders' promises empty and his tax proposals dead on arrival. Moreover, it would open the doors for the non-incumbent (read "Republican&quot party to take control of the white house.

Our two remaining candidates (and their supporters) who are trying to strangle each other to death are perhaps missing the bigger picture. They had better get back to the "elephants" in the room. If the recession doesn't wait until after the election, history is not on our side.
