They can sell that, no problem. Then when it all blows up they'll play dumb. Blame the other side. I think the best government for America is a small one. It's currently a huge mess of funky accounting and funny numbers. All this security is hugely expensive. Airlines are bankrupt because armies of security (what can be more un-productive) hassle travelers. Air travel is the traditional American way of doing business and the alternatives are just too costly. I think this terror scare will easily cost a trillion bucks this decade. It's just an incredible mess. Playing right into the hands of terror.

Legislating an end to debt would be easy. Pass a law repudiating it. That would be theft and we'd pay an unimaginable price for it, but it would be easy. Or just debase the currency which would accomplish the same thing and be just as immoral. I was reading a piece in my Mom-in-Law's New Yorker this week about NYC's past and present debt crises. It quoted an investment banker whose efforts did much to avert the near default from Lindsey's tenure. He said that inflation make his job much easier then and that today's near zero inflation environment made it very difficult to raise money. ******* I PREDICT **** you can book mark it ************************** that we will soon be hearing DEMANDS for Treasury and Fed policies that DELIBERATELY INFLATE the money supply in order to "SOLVE" our National, State, Local, Personal debt problems.
