  • Housing Bubble, The Sequel [View article]
    Right you are John Galt! We should always consider the unintended consequences when someone's ill-conceived do-good intention leaves lots of chips on the table. Too often the blowback is worse than the original fire.

    WOW?? Nuclear bomb? Google can't even keep their Gmail from hanging in their Chrome browser. This Google OS news is a defensive response to MS's new Bing. Since Bing's early June launch, Google is down over 10%.

  • Imbalances and Stimulus: Solving the Problem [View article]
    Suppose someone stops by once a week and throws a rock through my office window. The glass shop owner takes my hard earned dollars and buys a dress for his wife. The dress maker buys a new washing machine from the local appliance vendor who spends the evening at a hotel with the hooker.

    Does my broken window stimulate the local economy? Or does it simply displace capital I would have spent under my own choice and freedom?

    While we can argue about the effects of demand based stimulus, know that Keynesians promote full employment and equality of individual wealth over any one person’s liberty.

    And every Tax dollar the government spends in stimulus is effectively shattering windows across this nation… perhaps my great grandchildrens’ children can pick up the pieces.

  • Why GM's Not the Only Company Rush Limbaugh Should Boycott [View article]
    Rick,
    did you even bother reading the entire transcript in the "radio show" link you provided?

    If you did, your byline is more than misleading; it is flat out dishonest.

  • Why Stagflation Has Already Begun [View article]
    Nice article. I agree: Stagflation is nigh and commodities will be overbought as investors try to find a safe harbor.

  • The Bernanke Conundrum [View article]
    "The outstanding faults of the economic society in which we live are its failure to provide for full unemployment and its arbitrary and inequitable distribution of wealth and incomes.”
    John Maynard Keynes – General Theory Chapter 24

    The Keynesians are now running Executive and Legislative branches of US government. Consider this quote the “rational” justification of everything they will do.
