As the years go by and the theater that is election season (which has come to consume half of each presidential term, if not more) unfolds, the extremes of malice, cat-calling and sheer buffoonery have made me want to hide under the bed.
Even your local late news turns into a playground of attack ads a full year before everyone heads to the polls – and it just seems to be getting worse.
This time around, as the fourth calendar year of America's financial maelstrom is ready to have its pages flipped and news of the absolute financial devastation in the European economy seems to get weirder by the week, your clients are probably in just as much of a tizzy.
And, in some cases, grasping at straws. Especially those offered by candidates whose promises that they'll make it all better next year are starting to sound better than the status quo.
Taking a stroll around the web, you'll find more than enough evidence that even the most loud and, in a simple sort of way, straight-forward of pre-presidential financial promises are largely full of hot air.
