print“What If The Media Were Moral?” is the current weekly column, now on WND. An excerpt:
… If the media were moral, they’d have told Americans these truths:
If the media were moral, they’d have told Americans that the perennial debt crises are manufactured crises.
That the U.S. government’s receipts are more than sufficient to cover its debt payments by a factor of approximately ten.
That the 14th Amendment (Section 4) of the U.S. Constitution prohibits a default on the country’s debt.
That if the country were to default on the debt, it would be because President Barack Obama deliberately and maliciously chose to flout the Constitution (it’s the law of the land, unlike ObamaCare), and not service the debt, so as to win a political battle.
If the media were moral, they’d tell America that it’s do or die. That capping the debt ceiling is perhaps the only way to compel a government that owes $17 trillion and carries “$70 trillion in off-balance-sheet liabilities” to make do with the loot it collects.
That the stock-market’s ‘confidence,’ pursuant to lifting the cap on the debt, amounts to faith in confidence men; that soaring stocks in a debt-fueled, stagnant economy is a consequence of the confetti of funny-money raining down from the nation’s pantheon: the Federal Reserve Bank.
That non-stop monetary stimulus is the road to ruin—it results in a rise in prices, stocks included. Homes too. And that an increase in the price of an item is not the same as an appreciation in its value.
