Sure, start cutting education and threaten to release all the prisoners in order to get voters to vote in a tax increase. Nevermind efficiency.

I don't think the fear mongering is going to work anymore the American public have been lied to so often I think when they start trying even more stupid stuff there could end up being civil war though I have no idea just HOW pissed off Americans are right now since they always seem to be a vaguely outspoken and angry lot especially in election times.

This is why I'm avoiding America like the plague by the way. I'm seriously convinced until the government gets ousted there's going to be a lot of crap going down on both end.

Quote from Emini Maestro:

Inflation can be denied by deflation proponents, but cannot be missed on the real level of living. Food, rent, utilities, car, school, insurance and toys. 50% inflation in the last 7 years. No, wages have not kept pace with real inflation. They never have. Forget about CPI, it's a joke. And some still say the dollar will hold it's value... that this is America and nothing like Argentina can possibly happen here.

It's started.

Peter Shiff said tuitions would collapse because everyone would be too poor to afford it.

I guess he was wrong.

Quote from Emini Maestro:

Inflation is not the cause, it is the symptom. Anything of value becomes less valuable when more of it is produced, and the paper fiat dollar is no exception. Helicopter Bernanke told us years ago he would run the printing presses 24/7, so the money supply is out of control. The component known as M1 is now secret in the Fed, keeping real information from the public about how much money has been produced, but sending the government to audit the Fed is like sending the pimp to check the girls. The bottom line is that our dollar buys less. Prices are 50% higher than 7 years ago. Check it out. Your money buys half of what it did in 2002.

Call it inflation, a falling dollar, or whatever; the result is the same. You cannot buy what you could buy before. It takes twice as many reserve notes (which is neither money nor is it Constitutional, per the founders) to buy what you bought before. That is the symptom of the Greenspan/Bernanke money printing machine called the Fed, and of the removal of US currency from the gold standard, some 40 years ago.

California schools aren't cheap anymore partially because the illegals have used up the state's money, and unfortunately for them, California doesn't have printing presses with which to make more money.

It's been a while since I've seen so much fail in a single post. BTW, M1 is still published every Thursday at 4pm EST. Please spare us the tin-foil hat diatribe.
