So the horrific costs I specified are acceptable to you. Don't know what to say.
Worse, it's tough to communicate with people who think the stock market is the economy. My clients do just fine, thanks, I keep a close eye on the markets for them. And since you think the stock market is the economy, I won't burn any more time on this.

So "financial adviser" now=Economist? Really?
Were the costs of 9/11 acceptable to you? Must be. Other terrorist acts? Yeah, probably. Those were friends and relatives who died in 9/11, totally innocent bystanders. The soldiers who were killed were volunteers and accepted the risks. I guess the distinction is beyond you.
Perhaps we should just have declared defeat and adopted sharia law? That would cost less, right?
So, 'financial adviser", we will be recovering for a long time. Recovering from Obama's corruption of bankruptcy law, his Dodd-Frank monstrosity, his "consumer affairs" monstrosity, his illegal and unconstitutional acts. Yes, a long time until we can undo all the damage that idiot has done.
I suspect this will come as a shock to you, but there were other possible approaches in the response to the attacks of 9/11. And yes, part of the many duties of a financial advisor is maintaining an appropriate grasp of economics. It's a critical element in CFP and ChFC curriculum. If that makes a financial advisor some kind of "economist", fine.
I can tell you that 100% of us know the stock market is not the economy. Perhaps one day you'll understand that, too.
And your emotional diversionary attacks on me are an indication that you know all of the above is true. Not to worry, I know you'd never admit that.

Wow, so a financial adviser is some kind of guru with an intimate knowledge of economics, politics, the stock market--heck just damn near everything.
You understand the stock market is a leading indicator of the economy, right? Nah. You don't understand jack shit.
What approach should we have taken with Iraq? Sanctions? No fly zone? Whoops, those failed.
Just like you. You are a failure. You can't refute anything I write so you distort it by implying stuff I never wrote.
I don't think you are a financial advisor. I don't think you know the stock market from the grocery market. I doubt you can read a newspaper intelligently. In fact I suspect you are about 16 years old, a suspicion supported by your poor use of English and lack of depth.
