Comments on: A Republican Warns … Two Years Late https://barelyablog.com/a-republican-warns-two-years-late/ by ilana mercer Fri, 04 Jul 2025 18:55:49 +0000 hourly 1 By: Roger Chaillet https://barelyablog.com/a-republican-warns-two-years-late/comment-page-1/#comment-5443 Sat, 28 Mar 2009 00:04:14 +0000 http://barelyablog.com/?p=6455#comment-5443 Myron is correct.

Professor Marc Faber said as much in a Barron’s magazine Roundtable discussion a year or two ago.

He was sitting at a table with a number of American money managers. (He’s Swiss, but lives in Asia). He told the assembled that the cup of coffee in front of him would cost a million dollars some day.

The others were more puzzled than stunned.

I say Faber was clairvoyant.

You all better buy as many assault weapons as you all can afford, before it is too late.

E. J. Dionne even attacks Obama for not being honest enough to increase taxes here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/03/25/ AR2009032502801.html. He writes ” But in the end, no politician (with the possible exception of libertarian Ron Paul) is willing to cut the budget enough to contain the deficit without a general tax increase down the road.” Sadly, I must agree with that sentence. Milton Friedman said the most important number was the size of the spending, not the amount of taxes or the amount of deficit. The 2009 debt is the size of the entire 2000 Clinton budget….. – Yes – it will soon be DOW 36,000 and HAMBURGER 37,000. Faster than a speeding bullet – is it a bird, is it a plane, is it Superman, no, it’s Bernanke’s Counterfeit Printing Press – whoosh! – and my retirement goes into the black hole of hyperinflation. Brother can you spare $50,000,000 to help a fella to a cup of coffee?
