It is nice to see that there are other people out there that actually see what is going on and aren't afraid to talk about it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07767900427536969742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430866.post-84583695973274424082009-06-10T14:58:34.729-05:002009-06-10T14:58:34.729-05:00Preachin' to the choir Peter! It's amazin...Preachin' to the choir Peter! It's amazing that people still debate this. Nothing is free. Nevertheless, democracy produces a situation where politicians have to "deliver" to their constituents...tax breaks, funding, etc. The temptation is hard to resist.<br /><br />In the end, the market cannot be denied, and there is always a price to pay, usually more so by the very constituency the government "intended to help."<br /><br />Anonymous' focus on a particular politician/party is a symptom of the myopic thinking behind looking to the government for everything. If we don't perform, no government can help us. And the if the government tries to help us too much, we're in big trouble.<br /><br />Finally, of course the Fed is the government...does it print dollars?!<br /><br />In summary, let them fail!Jerry1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430866.post-33316776519136764652009-05-31T22:01:11.477-05:002009-05-31T22:01:11.477-05:00Peter, I don't have a problem with you making note...Peter, I don't have a problem with you making note of the absurdity of fixing a problem by using another, more lasting problem to fix it. My problem with your post is it's focus on government creating the cause/bad solution. The Fed is not the Government and serves private business OWNERS (Capitalism) and not the consumer. <br /><br />The horrible idea of making more money to solve credit problems can't be resolved with cash, as you write. The solution is decapitation. Bloody, painful, survivalist head chopping.mbnjmntrbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09945092822101111480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430866.post-33968734463949783412009-05-23T12:28:18.282-05:002009-05-23T12:28:18.282-05:00@Anonymous, About a third of the total in Governme...@Anonymous, About a third of the total in Government spending to date on the financial crisis was "printed" during the Bush Administration. My presentation isn't twisted at all. The lawmakers who put all the policies in place during the Bush Administration are mostly the same ones that are doing it under Obama now. Bush vs Obama isn't the point here at all. What I'm talking about is how inflation is caused and what that means.peterbromberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18173639411723574123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430866.post-12655877592843482842009-05-22T12:11:29.014-05:002009-05-22T12:11:29.014-05:00Hmmm...

How much of what Obama is doing a direct result of Bush driving the country into this mess? This is a very twisted presentation of our current circumstance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430866.post-61758693403532904412009-05-22T10:14:01.561-05:002009-05-22T10:14:01.561-05:00Regarding the Zimbabwean 100 Billion Dollar bill a...Regarding the Zimbabwean 100 Billion Dollar bill and the three eggs: in the time since you've posted it, it can now probably only buy two eggs.
