Read 'em and weep boys. Witness the sobriety of a real died-in-the-wool grown-up fiscal conservative, if you can handle it.

"investors who state their belief that current U.S. inflation is really 6 to 9 percent a year, not the 2-4 percent the government alleges"

"If you measure the Dow in Swiss francs or euros, two strong currencies, it has already lost some forty percent of its 2000 value. Too many Americans live in a dream-world of economic misinformation."

Crime in this country is about to explode. It has been evident for some time, with the increase in gun violence as a good indicator. Talk about your volatile mix: a citizenry with decades of pent up needs and wage suppression, awash in guns, seeking redress from a unresponsive extra-legal (here, I am being very charitable) Bush/Cheney/Rove government that, astonishingly, enjoys the continued support of free-market studs (clowns) as represented here.

I don't think capitalism is working out so well, but what do I know. I mean, I never had the good sense to vote for Reagan, much less Bush. In fact, I have eight times cast votes against men named George Bush (ya gotta live in Texas to do that). By September 12, 2001, my greatest trepidation was not fear of terrorists, but rather how ham-fisted my government would respond.

On second thought, maybe my inductive/deductive reasoning isn't so bad?

Peace, out.
