Intolerant Zen: The Art of Accepting Nothing

The Daily Bell

Haven't been around much, Business sucks and the mid summer crunch, not to mention the world keeps circling to the left. I am better now and will be blogging regularly again. Fall really look like an ominous time to be an American.

Never let a good crisis go to waste, isn't that what Rohm Emanuel said???

Can Marijuana Help Rescue California's Economy?

The cracks are starting to open.

a quick post. The stock market is all over, flu in pandemic, unemployment numbers are bad yet again...

and through all of it Obama is proving himself to be a globalist to the 'nth degree.

My garden is doing well, as are my other preps. I still see this fall as being a dangerous time.

Well, we are in a pandemic. What does that mean? Most everyone I know has been sick at one level or another this spring/summer. So here is the answer, mass vaccinations this fall.

There is no question that a determined central bank can get rid of deflation. It is simply a question of printing enough money. Economists have another term to describe the monetization of government debt. The history of “seigniorage” goes back to the debasement of the coinage under the Roman emperors. Seigniorage is really a tax on holders of money and government debt which is paid via inflation. When carried to excess, it leads to hyperinflation.

In some local news, Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell has proposed a 30% hike in personal income taxes. Finally some legislators are getting the joke. We do not need state and federal government funding all kinds of arts and entertainment. If I want to give PBS money I do, if my library has a fund drive I donate as I can. We should not rely on government involvement for these things. People have come to expect these as entitlements, they are not. And for the most part all these government dollars come with strings attachewd that really outweigh the benefit.
