Mises.org huh. It is easy to think like a
Libertarian if you're a saver or a retiree
watching his income lose buying power etc.
But nobody complained when all the real
money was printed through the 80s and 90s.
After all, wasn't it the cap gains tax cuts
and stock market appreciation that printed
the most money?

You can look at monetary policy as weakening
the currency. Or you can look at the current
situation and say it is merely a reckoning,
a gradual destruction of too many dollars
generated in the booming stock market of
previous decades.

Well, in any event, I forecast a decade like the
1970s, history just repeats itself. That is my
two cents for the day.
