Greetings,

There is little doubt that the *actions* of government have great impact on markets.

However, *partisan debate of politics* is much different than discussion of government as an economic factor, and such debate often leads to heated argument and flames which can derail the purpose and function of the forum. Please use care to distinguish between those two, and help keep the Forum on topic and of use to traders.

Posts which contain comments that are inflammatory or likely to lead to flames risk removal without warning or apology.

Thanks in advance for keeping the forum on topic.

Mike
