Sense on Cents

The deficit reduction talks ongoing in Washington have profound implications for our markets, our economy, and truly the global financial landscape.

While President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner garner the bulk of the media attention, do not discount that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) has a very big dog in this fight.

Regardless of your political persuasion or market instincts, those who embrace basic ‘sense on cents‘ always want to know what each and every person engaged in a debate is thinking.

In the process, we can formulate our own opinions as opposed to having the media form them for us. In this spirit, I hope you will take the time to review this statement and Q/A recently released by Representative Eric Cantor.

It is a little lengthy but it is “only” our country’s and our children’s future we are addressing. Please let us know what you think. Thank you to the friend who shared this with me.
