"What Barack Obama Can Learn from FDR"
I recently bought and read a TIME megazine titled "What Barack Obama Can Learn from FDR" most of it honked the horn of big gov. and yet there was one article by a woman who is called: Amity Shlaes. She is writing a book (Amazon Link). Anyhow, at the end of the article she says something I really liked and thought I would share.
The forgotten man is in reference to a statement made by Roosevelt who was referencing the people that were the cause of much of the legislation that prolonged the great depression, such as senior citzens(social security) and the laborers(minimum wage law- outpriced the less skilled).
"That episode of American life (referring to the prolonged nature of the Great Depression) reminds us that even the best-intentioned government intervention can make things worse. And that when a politician remembers one forgotten man, he often creates another."

Free Society
Ludwig von Mises: "The characteristic feature of a free society is that it can function in spite of the fact that its members disagree in many judgments of value." - Theory and History
Fiattale of the U.S. Dollar
The Silver Bear Cafe: "'Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value - zero.' (Voltaire, 1694-1778)"
"The next-day, on June 2nd, Fed chief Benjamin Bernanke, boxed into a tight corner by Beijing’s saber rattling, warned the US-Congress that there is a limit to how many US-dollars the central bank can print. “Unless we demonstrate a strong commitment to fiscal sustainability in the longer term, we will have neither financial stability nor healthy economic growth,” Bernanke warned US-lawmakers. "
(Kitco)
Defining inflation: Inflation is an increase in the supply of money, raising prices are amung the results of inflation, not the causes of.
Inflation of the money supply is a real issue, we've got our back to the issue but ignoring the problem doesn't solve it. We've printed trillions
in the past few months, don't pretend that doesn't change anything. It devalues every dollar in your pocket, in your money jar, in your back account. It strips you of purchasing power. Inflation is the crueslest taxation. LESS THAN 50% OF THE U.S. MONETARY BASE IS IN CIRCULATION - we're in the belly of a whale, and until we make the decision to do what is right things are going to continue to worsen.
Current Coinage
My suggestion: invest in things of worth. Silver is a good investment. Don't listen to your bedtime fairytales of government promises and prosperity, discover reality.

"...the Fed shocked the global markets on March 18th, by unleashing the “nuclear option” for monetary policy - “QE,” or printing an extra $1.1-trillion US-dollars, in order to buy US T-Notes and mortgage backed bonds..." (Kitco)
