5.0 out of 5 stars Ahem..., March 16, 2008
By Me "Me" (United States) - See all my reviews
...With regard to the previous review, the price of the book has already gone up.

Further, these are historic times.

We are on the precipice of an economic "recession" (or *much* worse) with high amounts of inflation about to hit in about 6 mos to a year in order to pay off this national debt (yes, deficits *do* matter...they are *delayed taxes* that we have been obligated to pay.)

Inflation makes the debt smaller economically.
Inflation is essentially a tax that can't be stopped now.
The value of this book will definitely rise, if for no other reason, the amount of inflation that is about to hit us...not to mention the *hopeful* value of the contents and the author during this difficult time.
The price of the signed copy will go up considerably.

Win or lose, the election itself is historic. The book will be valuable.

================[UPDATE: 19 AUG 2008]================

At this date, the price range of this book has risen from about $250-$400 to about $470-$2000, depending on the condition of the book. I bought a $250 mint copy a few months ago and already there is almost a ten-fold increase in value. As I said before, this is an historic time. The economy has been locked into a power dive to pay off the national debt and because of the deregulated greed of banks/hedge funds. Inflation has run up *strongly* since my previous writing, above. Right now, it has taken a short pause...except for food and gasoline (watch the near-term profits of the refiners go up.) Next year, however, *overall* inflation should pick up again...further boosting food and fuel prices beyond affordability.)

If you have savings in dollars, the inflation caused by the national debt will make those funds worth less.

================[UPDATE: 04 NOV 2008]================

The person who originally wrote the previous review that condemned the book as being a waste of money that will not ever rise in value removed the review before the election.

This is election night and he has won the election. At this point in time, the price range of the book has risen to $800 to $4000.
