"The result: a nasty stagflation shock."

Can't be. Tim and others have proven that our debt and deficit aren't a problem. So no such dire circumstances can occur.

The case for treason....

Documents captured after 9/11 showed that bin Laden hoped to provoke the United States into an invasion and occupation that would entail all the complications that have arisen in Iraq. His only error was to think that the place where Americans would get stuck would be Afghanistan.

Bin Laden also hoped that such an entrapment would drain the United States financially. Many al-Qaeda documents refer to the importance of sapping American economic strength as a step toward reducing America’s ability to throw its weight around in the Middle East.

We need to face the fact that our administration has done the bidding of announced enemies on more than one occasion. Oh sure, you can chalk it up to stupidity and/or simple incompetence, but can anyone be that dumb and/or incompetent? Maybe Shorty, but we are talking about real human beings. Occam's Razor holds that the simplest reason is most likely to be correct. We have a situation where either you accept that they have made bad decisions at every step and in such a way that always benefits our enemies by pure accident, or they are in collusion with them.

Think about it.

Watch your flanks, America!

We saw today that when China catches a cold, the rest of the world gets the flu. At one point today, the Dow was down 550 pts. All because China announced it was cracking down on speculative investment.
