I get it, the conditioning has worked on you and a few others I could name around here. I could list many things, but you would just come back with a million excuses for the system. There is no need or desire to waste the efforts to type it all out.

Yep. And now we can't go anywhere without being on camera. Yeah, they always tell us it's to "keep us safe" while they use our tax dollars to fund those very "boogey men" that they claim they need to invade our privacy to "keep us safe" from. The list is long if a guy had the desire and/or time to lay it all out..
Well, sure, now that I think about it, I lost the liberty to ride a motorcycle without a helmet, and drive a car without a seatbelt.
Actually, still have the liberty to do those things, just lost the liberty of not paying a penalty fine if THEY catch me. Funny how that works.
Or, I could move to a place without that law. I do retain the liberty to vote with my feet. I never DID have the liberty of convincing anyone to do things my way all the time

These are smarty pants skirt around the truth kind of comments. You know deep down in your gut that you have lost a lot of freedom and liberty over your lifetime if you just sit down, be honest with yourself, and think about it.
Funny how people actually like being treated like a criminal in the name of "security", especially at airports... Oh it's ok, wonder if they ever start shoving something up their..... Ah forget it...
We are supposed to be protected by the First Amendment, yet, those freedoms are under constant assault. Like Americans being arrested for daring to film police officers. Or how about protesters tear-gassed, beat down, arrested, and/or forced into “free speech zones”?
Was waiting in line to get into the movie the other night and the youngster in front of me started taking off his shoes until his mom reminded him he only had to do that at the airport.
I quietly whispered to the kid, "for now."

For those that have read the good book, they know how this turns out
Most people refer to the BIBLE as the good book, yet when it was mention of GOD running things was met with dismissal. So is there another "good book" I should read or are you really a blasphemer?

Q: Are You Printing Money? Bernanke: Not Literally
Sometimes I question Schiff's hyperbole and attention getting headlines, but I have to admit when he uses catch phrases like "the mother of all bubbles", I realize he's in the company of great minds, who historically are rarely wrong. ;
speaking of great minds, lets not forget these pre-2008 geniuses who were honored with a Feb. 1999 cover. Proof that time wounds all heals.

This is still funny.

He wasn't right about where the impact of rising rates would have the most impact.
Then again his timing has been off before even when he knew what he was talking about. He's always worth listening to, even if you choose not to act on his conclusions.

The FED controls timing. Impossible to predict.

If we can up our current $1 trillion/year deficit spending to $2 trillion/year we'll be fine.

Well........ a 0.25% and the markets said "No".
We didn't see another increase for a full year (after the '16 election when the markets had taken off).
Oh, was that the "taper tantrum". lol
edited to say, Whoopsie! That was in 2013.
