Fixed.
Here’s the problem, conservatives.
Free markets do not . . . no . . . CANNOT exist anymore. Frankly, for anything.
How is this conservative? Because of QE. Quantitative Ease. It exposed money to be a meaningless concept that all of society is based on.
If you can create the measurement methodology from thin air in an entirely whimsical way, then all things you measure with it, like capitalism and markets in general, cannot mean anything.
And we certainly can’t build an ideology like “fiscal conservatism” around it.
Bernanke destroyed everything, and not just him. Global central bankers all worked in concert to be sure currencies didn’t collapse against one another. The ECB is doing a trillion Euros of QE right this moment.
So . . . remember this when you offer up “the free market” as a way to solve healthcare . . . or anything else. It’s all gone. It’s not coming back.
