Early this morning after listening to some of the news re the economy, I thought I had “THE SOLUTION”.

The government should, immediately, pass a new law that mandates that ALL PRICES OF ALL GOODS BE DOUBLED AND THAT ALL WAGES-SALARIES OF ALL WORKERS BE DOUBLED. It has always been the “FREEZE WAGES & FREEZE PRICES” approach, but that method did not work.
My method will work because TAX REVENUES WILL DOUBLE AS WELL and the excess can be applied to the debt…VOILA!

At that point my alarm clock went on and I awoke.

Actually, please use the LINK below for a more rational explanation:

I believe Round 2 is fast approaching and with possible new regs re gold purchases, etc., will Americans see another confiscation like FDR’s in the ’30s? A libertarian and contributor to WND, as is Ilana,is VOX DAY. Suggestion…read his book, “THE RETURN OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION”…then THINK.

Start with Hooverology which is “Government is responsible for creating and/or destroying jobs” – e.g. how many jobs did Rick Perry “create” etc.?? Add in a bastardized child or Keynesian economics and Reaganomics – e.g. the solution to everything economic is some combo of: (a) stimulus spending, (b) tax cuts, (c) defense spending, (d) borrowing, (e) money supply expansion, (f) cheap consumer credit, (g) growing the welfare state / “safety net” – the sick byproduct is Obammunism. Add nearly identically idiotic Republicans focused mainly on winning back power in 2012 and mostly working on Gridlocking everything with the Democrats.

Result – debt, economic paralysis, uncertainty, and hideous malinvestment.

I am continually astonished at the economic ignorance of not only Obama, but of his entire administration. Rarely does a day go by that I don’t read or hear about some hare-brained proposal to stimulate, kick-start, cajole, or otherwise entice people who are broke to spend money they don’t have because their income dried up in the correction Obama is determined to defer until after he’s elected.

Rip the band-aid off already! They cannot repeal economic reality any more than they can change the tides. When does the absurd central planning get replaced by sane fiscal and monetary policies?
