Annually Heads of State and the
wealthiest of Business leaders sojourn to a ski resort in Davos
attend the World Economic Forum and to chat about – what else: “the world
economy”!. Really, thousands of financial elites from all over the globe confab
for 5 days in unimagined – at least to me – luxury whilst discussing issues
related to the global economy.
The story isn’t how much
money attendees will be spending daily (close to $10,000 per day, each) or even

weakness to the rest of the world – in
the middle of the gravest economic challenges in decades – he is signaling that the US/World economy is
not important enough to send those in
his cabinet that are tasked with it’s oversight.
Let me be clear, and to quote Rush;” elections
