Snow Day Stalls Wasteful Legislation Dear Sovereign Investor, A large swathe of the United States was battered with yet another storm this week, as the snowmageddon continues in this seemingly unending winter. It was nice to see that Atlanta learned its lesson and handled this second blast with better planning and a touch more common sense. It doesn't look like the same can be said for North Carolina. Of course, after surviving numerous Wisconsin winters, it's hard for me to sympathize with panic over a couple meager feet of snow and ice – or was it inches? This hard winter has been the scapegoat for a two-month slowdown in retail sales and the largest drop in manufacturing output in more than four years. It seems like the one industrial growth to come out of this harsh winter that has crippled cities and shut down airlines has been a rise in heating bills. But there is a positive to come out of this latest winter storm: the temporary shutdown of the federal government on Thursday and its adorable two-hour delay on Friday. Like the government shutdown in 2013, this little break stalled Congress from instituting yet more wasteful policies determined to steal taxpayer income while infringing upon the few civil liberties we are still afforded. The government snow days have put a brief halt to the endless bickering in Congress over budgetary levels, interest rates on student loans, and the extension of unemployment benefits. If these breaks can offer U.S. citizens a little protection from our own government until more fiscally responsible leaders can take charge, then I say: Let it snow. Let it snow. Let it snow. Regards,
Jocelynn Smith
