"Blaming the Federal Reserve for everything is the easy course of action, and given its proclivity to take credit for everything under the sun, it certainly invites such remonstrations when things go wrong. But the creation of money and credit is far more complex than that, and it does not have an immediate and linear effect on either the economy or financial markets." I blame the fed for allowing the imbalances in our economy to get so out of control and for not pushing for more tax incentives into the real economy and out of the real estate/carry trade economy. They are going to kill the real economy if they invert. The real estate economy falls from either much higher long term rates or elimination of lax lending and no down/ no doc/negative ARM loans/1% option ARM's. Just take monetary, fiscal and tax policy back to 1995-97 and let the imbalances get corrected over time..

Date: Tue Sep 27 2005 13:17 trotsky (one day after an anti-war rally) ID#248269: Copyright © 2002 trotsky/Kitco Inc. All rights reserved in Washington draws an estimated 100-200,000 demonstrators ( yep, estimates vary between 100 and 200K ) , a pro-war rally draws a grand total of 500: normantranscript.com anyone else notice that politicians of both parties are by now completely out of touch? of course the elites and leaders of both parties will ALWAYS support a pro-war stance, regardless of its futility. the democraps are thinking 'we might inherit this war' and of course they want to ensure future Republican support for whatever wars THEY are going to wage ( there somehow always seem to arise fresh opportunities for war after all ) . normally one would hope that these pukes would get their just desserts served up by voters come the next election, but alas, the voters have no alternatives. you can either vote for war, or vote for war, or not vote at all in the US. the system is geared toward making it all but impossible for an alternative third political party to appear on the scene ( the pre-selection process that determines if one can get on the ballot at all is so onerous as to make it all but impossible....it's that fabled 'democracy' dontcha know ) . so you will continue to have to make do with the same establishment pukes for as far as the eye can see - it really is a one party state, as i have frequently pointed out. what a scam.
