Free Lunch for Bernanke and Paulson

The printing presses will be going full tilt. When inflation picks up the fed will not be able to withdraw from the economy what they put in...it simple will not be politically accecptable hence welcome to Argentina 2001. The hard part of riding a tiger is knowing how and when to get off without being eaten. We have just gotten a blind date with destiny and it looks like she just ordered the Lobster!

That's a Ivory Tower Socialist goal, shared by Social Idealists and Academics alike!!

Bingo! You got it! As one who is currently living the "Peoples Glorius DemoKratic Republic of Chapel Hill, NC" can testify. The tenured and retired professors, the Maserati Marxists and Lambourghni Liberals, here who live in a bubble don't give a rats ass about the peasants...let them eat organic tofu!

A Surprise in Store for the Dollar?

Gee, User225042, I've never gotten a job from a poor person. Anyway, the positive results will be to the countries that do not enslave their citizens by confiscatory taxation. Think, Chile, Brazil, China, Russia, etc. We will end up moribund just as France, Italy, Greece, etc. the socialist paradises that the far left loves. I grew up on a small farm raising pigs, chopping cotton and such in eastern NC and after a lifetime of saving and investing, and delaying gratification, I am savvy enough to not let the "messiah's" useful idiots take it away. I have been 100% cash for 2 years now and that is now overseas. Just got my fingerprints done as required for a Chilean immigrant card. Hope you folks enjoy your socialist paradise.

Violence begets violence and destabilizes in a feedback loop.

I'll take higher taxes, more corporate oversight any day if it means that we aren't the international laughstock we are today.

This kind of naivete will get us into a nuclear war. Your previous "messiah" FDR even regonized it when he said...you can't turn a tiger into a cat by petting it"! Big wars are started by VI Lenin's "useful idiots" as he put it. Winston Churchill said it best...Bigs wars are fought because the small ones weren't. Even better, another demoKrat, except an older one, said: Thomas Jefferson

Bank of America's Parking Meter Play

So we should do away with the Bankruptcy Reform Act? No country in the world is as lenient towards scam artists and deadbeats as here in the US. Do you know why the act was put in place? Because of people like the ones I know from my coffee shop club who purposely scammed the cred card companies and then BRAGGED ABOUT IT TO ME. They both work in cash businesses and make more than enough to pay their bill but one has defaulted on close to a quarter of a million...yes that is right...a quarter of a million on 43 credit cards...four of which were registered to his deceased wife (nine years ago now). I am paying for these bums and I don't like it. And don't tell me that it was or is isolated...I know different. Try that stunt in Europe.
