these are rational? 1. 50 years of drug running... 2. illegal wars based on misinformation... 3. the politicians all lie to get elected... 4. the government has spent all our social security savings - GONE! 5. if the government were a household that made $50k a year, it would spend over $90k a year, owe $400k directly and have promises to pay well over $1 million... 6. wants to secretly kidnap and detain its citizens on american soil... that stuff is rational to an insane person. name three societies that haven't been severely oppressed or bankrupted by their respective government.

Deflation is today's problem. But what do you think happens over the long run as Ben continues to print money to monetize our debt? That is the inevitable conclusion to this experiment in irrational debt levels coming from Keynesian policies and it will lead directly to hyperinflation. You are focused on today where deflation is happening, but I'm focused on the end game. It makes sense for you to be focused today, though, because that's what today's Keynesians are really all about. It's about avoiding pain today, by delaying it until tomorrow.
