This is a good point. But I think perhaps this is more about both of these issues: The economy is hitting the skids while the next president may (or may not be) a black man. What we have here are the issue of rich vs. poor and the issue of race all coming together at once. This is shaping up to be a dire time in the U.S. And now you have domestic militarism....
Not good.
As I post this, the Dow is down 0.5% and the S&P is down 1.1%.
