I read just a few minutes ago that consumers are now bracing for the biggest monthly decline in oil prices in six years, that June might signal a stellar month for retirement accounts across the land. The war that Donald Trump launched has cost us all a ton of money. Why launch a war remains the question of the day &#8230; and Trump appears none too ready to explain a damn thing about why he did it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When word leaks out that negotiators are getting close to a deal, the market goes bonkers. When we hear from Trump about plans to bomb the hell out of Iran, markets tank dramatically.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The rumor mill now is grinding out reports of a deal in the works. If it&#8217;s true, then I will be among the first to offer Donald Trump some qualified praise. Ending the Iran war will allow me to breathe more easily as I look farther down the retirement road. The only qualification I will have will be in learning why in the hell we went to war with Iran in the first place.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It had better be worth it.<\/p>\r\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have an interest in seeing the Iran war come to an end and it has nothing to do with whether I would be called up or whether my sons would face the same future.
