The Ron Paul and Libertarian votes were tiny: <...The Oxford-educated Mr Fisher, an outspoken free-marketer and believer in the Schumpeterian process of "creative destruction", has been running a fervent campaign to alert Americans to the "very big hole" in unfunded pension and health-care liabilities built up by a careless political class over the years. "We at the Dallas Fed believe the total is over $99 trillion," he said in February. "This situation is of your own creation. When you berate your representatives or senators or presidents for the mess we are in, you are really berating yourself. You elect them," he said. > Indeed, they have only themselves to blame. Appointing a fox to look after the hen house will get the result that should be expected. Voters, for the most part, by and large, get what they deserve, good and hard! Strangely, they do it again next time. Perhaps it's Stockholm Syndrome. The belief that Big Government is Good Government is pandemic around the world. It fails decade after decade and century after century and still they come back for more. Tradable citizenship and Libertarian laws are the way to go. Mqurice

Asia's "Confucian" culture of right action does not look kindly on the insouciant policy of printing money by Anglo-Saxons. This is the caption of the article's photo.

Federal reserve to cause inflation ? - we may be seeing some theatre here - I expect that both the Fed and China know that the present moderate buying of Treasuries is not near enough to halt deflation. My speculation is both the FED, China, and others would like to get a higher velocity of money, and some optimism. So they (FED, China, others) are trying to raise the threat of inflation to get money moving. Would someone try to manipulate the price of gold and or oil higher to make it appear that deflation has stopped ?
