Show more »"The great Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises taught us that the general public unfortunately "does not blame the authorities for having fostered the boom. He reviles them for the inevitable collapse. In the opinion of the public, more inflation and more credit expansion are the only remedy against the evils which inflation and credit expansion have brought about." As expected, your 'solutions' inevitably focus on re-igniting the 'ponzi' economy. Is this because you seriously believe it to be the best economic solution,? Or is it because it is politically the most expedient?" Show less »

    Though many of the law abiding citizens of the world appreciae the efforts that are being made to fend off a complete political melt-down and a decent into anarchic hell.  Is it not morally bankrupt of our politicians to be putting profits and the unachievable goal of perpetual growth before humanity?  Are not the people who will ultimately benifit the unscropulous wealthy who got us in this mess to start with?"
