ahhaha...I see you got banned by Mish the Magnificent as well. Mish is very short tempered these days. I guess that's what happens when you're short for the entire 4+ year bull cycle.

Vonnegut Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield

Democracy or authority? Where there is knowledge in an individual, there is ignorance.

Churchill said spending 5 minutes with the average citizen should tell you all you need to know about the dangers of democracry eh? Did you see rodney dangerfield in back to school? His copied thesis from Vonnegut was given and F and the professor said the author knew nothing about Vonnegut - I know real professors that are this silly.

If the meme that gives our fed the dual mandate is so bad and other countries don't have that dual mandate but just the one mandate - why don't all the smart people like you move to where there is just the one mandate and to hell with maximizing employment? One of my redneck friends says he likes that mandate - he is glad to suffer an inefficient system to keep all those poor people off the streets shooting him because they are bored or hungry and he gladly pays to have them doing "something" even if it is useless busy work. He is a religious nut and maybe he took the "idle hands" meme from the bible too seriously - what would AHAHAH be doing all day if not on SI wasting his life?

If you have any doubt just consider AG's action at the LTCM pump, the y2k pump, and the 3 years of holding fed funds at a negative real rate under the guise of promoting or saving eternal prosperity. What did that get?

Didn't I read from you that in Japan people were required to pay for the privaledge of letting the bank store their money?

Re: What we have now is chronic intervention, intraday, every day, at big scale, so that the market can't identify what it is, and doesn't allow all participants to transact.

What's the matter, don't you care for the benefits of a centrally planned economy?
