Bush started pushing this “free market” nonsense last week. It can be surmised from this that free men are fleeing his newspeak “free markets”. These semi-fine men will say anything to stop the hemorrhaging. It won’t work for long, but they need time to make good their own personal escapes. Any investor dollar they can make evaporate by keeping it in the market allows these immoral monkeys to kick the can down the road for one more day.

Whoever thought that giving politicians and single men power to leverage the economy (effectively trying to 'run' it) was very foolish. Only problem is that Pat Buchanan is an admirer of Hamilton, the creator of our current economic Fed system. How can he coherently argue against a world Fed if this is the logical outcome of this?

I know you're not overly fond of Andrew Sullivan, but I thought this Peter Schiff video on his blog was interesting.

The dollar and US government is fundamentally as (economically) solid as the South Vietnamese government of 1975 or the East German government of 1989. The only real uncertainty is the timing and nature of the house of cards collapsing – HOW: hyperinflation or depression or totalitarian fiat and WHEN (my guess is 2020 to 2030) – those are the uncertainties. The (New Orleans style) levees of the Keynsian printing press “stimulus” will not hold against the hurricane/tsunami of hundreds of trillions of unfunded indebtedness.
