So much upheaval everywhere. I’m humbly wondering if some of this isn’t setting the stage for biblical prophecy of some large proportions.

All this Keynesian economic policy coming home to roost.

I am not happy for all the hardships. I am happy that perhaps we will have an incentive to incorporate real money for real value.

There is a lot of wealth that is not monetary. We must not despair. Keep working and quit all the speculating. Work and real goods keep an economy strong, I think.

Love him or hate him, Spengler can turn a phrase:

They have no ambition but to die quietly, no concerns except for those amusements which might reduce boredom and anxiety en route to the grave. They have no passions except hatred born of envy. They hate America, a new kind of universality that succeeded where the old Christian empire failed. They hate Israel, which makes the Jewish people appear all the more eternal in stark contrast to Europe's morbid temporality. They will pass out of history unmourned even by themselves.

That would leave their people holding a bag filled with an intellectual, spiritual, and moral vacuum in the face of an invasion by radical Islam. It is no legacy and not even much of an epitaph. BTT.

I don’t think Obama can destroy America no mater how hard he tries. The fact of the mater is that most people here are still Americans. So that means when the going gets tough the tough get going. The Eurotrash just squats around screaming “help me! help me!”.

I guess our friends across the pond should spend more time worrying about their own elections, and less about ours.

Unless there is immediate intervention on every front by all the major powers acting in concert, we risk a disintegration of global finance within days. Nobody will be spared, unless they own gold bars.

And what are they going to exchange them for food at the local supermarket while everybody else starves

Don't believe in the bible but I have been thinking for years now that the world is spiraling out of control--population explosion--technology explosion--atomic weapons explosion--debt explosion

Can you honestly picture what our country or the world will be like in 20 years

Keynes’ most famous quote had to do with how long credit pump-priming could go on. He said, “In the long run we’re all dead.”

Tralala, live for today, and the hell with our grandkids and their future.

Keynes’ “long run” has arrived.

“Work and real goods keep an economy strong, I think.”

Nothing to think about, you are correct. Perhaps the silver lining in this mess is a return to the standards which have always made our country strong. Hopefully, people will look at all get rich quick schemes as exactly what they are, pyramid schemes that always crash.

I prefer lead, packaged for high-velocity delivery.

That is always true but what percentage of Americans actually qualify as “tough” these days.

Yes, the full metal jacket is an appropriate unit of shipment as well.

Let that Crash come. We’re going to have to face reality sooner or later. I’m for sooner; later, I may be too old and sick to fend for myself.

Yes. Keynes is considered THE economist of the modern welfare state. The other one is Barney Frank with ‘friends’. Both Keynes and Frank are homosexuals.

I know about Keynes and Frank, thanks anyway.

The guys hanging onto Barney don't look like anyone I've ever encountered.

I guess I don't get out enough.
