i guess jim never heard of Nixon or nixon shock. Even your hero greenspan said at the time “under the gold standard, a free banking system stands as the protector of an economy’s stability and balanced growth… The abandonment of the gold standard made it possible for the welfare statists to use the banking system as a means to an unlimited expansion of credit… In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation”

“The Free market has fallen”

How many times can the left say the free market has fallen. Every time you say it, you confirm your prior failure to kill it.

The market is simply people making free choices in cooperation with others. If the market has fallen, that must mean that the government gun has risen. Yuck!

The basis for the present economy is the Federal Reserve, a government entity. In the free market, people choose gold and silver as money. That’s why they passed the Legal Tender Acts and why your hero FDR made gold a controlled substance. So, not to beat a dead horse but myths die hard–when the market is made illegal, please explain how the market has failed.

(Not holding my breath.)

“the devil’s hole steps were put in by the wpa, they are still there and still working just fine. Whats wrong with money being spent on things like that?”

It prolongs whatever crisis it was meant to pull you out of.

“The Free market has fallen and it can’t get up.(again)”

Please explain.

Bush/Paulson Economic Stimulus = we are screwed ($8,500,000,000.000 so far and counting)

Hank, you are embarrassing. The Free market has fallen and it can’t get up.(again) Now the people are paying for it in pain and money. Even Greenspan has seen the light and agrees it doesn’t work.

I’d love to attend, but UB plays in Toronto at noon. I’ll be attending the game instead. Is a recording of some type going to be posted on the web somewhere?
