Perhaps U.S. Policy-makers should take a lesson from this Austrian Economist…

ps Robert, Thanks for the offer, but I made arrangements with my buddy who has a Half-Ton Pick-Up truck – I’m feeling that George’s DOOMED notation may be the
appropriate outlook. 😉

pps Suggest you either print or download the article.

James: He would do better, he’s got spit.
Dennis, I bought two construction grade wheelbarrows with no flat tires a couple of years ago. Can rent you one for a few months until QE4.

I am not yet certain whether such as “putting unemployed Americans back to work” and “doing it for the children” are now merely incantations of the primitively stupid or the maledictions of Gnostic cultists. Not that it matters much; as has been noted previously – we are doomed.

I am contemplating the purchase of a wheelbarrow…..

It is not a new story, but it may be the most important one in our lives. Without means, how does one survive? Relocate? Avoid the abyss of crushing poverty? Restart a business or start a new one? Sustain and educate a family?

In all sincerity I ask: How does one protect his wealth from government confiscation? I believe my grandparents had to surrender their gold Francs to FDR’s collectors. What do you advise for that potentiality?

I’ll be looking for a wheelbarrow this weekend. Will you?

The solutions offered by our economic gurus to our fiscal woes remind me of an alcohol soaked gent I once encountered. His car wouldn’t start so his plan was to take out the third spark plug and spit on it. It made sense to him. I believe he could run the Federal Reserve as well as the clowns doing so at the moment.
