Ted Nugent might not go as far as some of us libertarian anarchists in defying all state coercion, but he sure does say it well when it comes to the inherent right to self-defense! Hey, besides that, he likes Nashville Pussy and the Short Fuses, so what else need we say? Big thanks to Peter G for getting this to us. (He's also known as P-Giddy.)

Leave it to the Fed to "solve" inflation by creating more.

Incredible.

...fewer home loans being available in the long run, as FEE's Sheldon Richman has noted.

As you read this piece, please note that the bankrupt Fannie Mae was given special "power" (and money) to bail out troubled "homeowners" (ie mortgage loan recipients) starting in January of 2009. Since that time, with billions spent, 57% of those homeowners who were "troubled" have defaulted on their loans, and the year is not yet done. In addition, with policies such as these, the government is preventing home prices from falling to more closely reflect their true value. This is a recipe for disaster, and, oh yeah, it's unconstitutional, if any of those politicians care.

Check out this first paragraph from the AP:

"NEW YORK – Money on the table — perhaps $10 billion a year or more — could help close a deal in Denmark next month and keep climate talks moving toward a new global treaty in 2010. But if poorer nations see too little offered up front, the U.N. conference could end in discord."

Goodness! Gosh! One would NEVER want to see DISCORD when it comes to the theft of private property (one's earnings)! Let thievery reign!

Here is the rest of the piece:

As we did last year, we now offer a copy of the great piece about Thanksgiving, originally produced by the Foundation for Economic Education (www.fee.org). As Bradford mentions, the Platonic (socialist) approach was a failure in Plymouth. Only the introduction of private property and market exchange allowed the Pilgrims to survive and prosper.

Enjoy the day, and debate with a socialist today to spread the word!

PS. The FEE website is down at this time, so that is why we have provided this link instead.

Yup. See... That nutty FDIC thing inspires reckless loans (please look at the housing bubble in the late Eighties, early Nineties, which was inspired by an increase in the "insurance" offered to banks by the FDIC and FSLC).

And now, they need more of your money and the buying power of your dollar to "fix" the problem. Cute, huh?

Now, how could we have predicted that the gubment would overstate its case?

And remember, the vast majority of the inceased spending came from temporary infusions of gubment-seized money and gubment debt. Not a path towards increased economic prosperity...

As Radio Birdman says: "What gives, what gives, what gives, what ya gonna do?"

How about ask the NYT editorial staff to actually pay attention to free market economists?

Wishful thinking, we know!

Please note how the NYT injects a subtle mention of rationing by the gubment. Rationing? But that's just scaremongering by libertarians!

There's this term...

Um...

Oh, yeah. "DUH."

Wait until the mirage recovery dampens demand for gold, and then the effects of inflation start showing up in a few quarters. Hope you got gold now, or you will get some during the brief moderating period to come. But this moderation period could be swept aside if the feds pass the medical fascism plan. All bets are off then for how high gold will rise (as well as other precious metals).

Funny thing about this. When CNBC reported on the story, their 8.5 minute report/discussion didn't even cover the Audit the Fed amendment. It only centered on whether it was "appropriate" to be so critical of Geithner. Incredible.

See how votes are being bought through the pork handout system, which, just like this medical fascism bill, is unconstitutional.

But remember, the gubment cats tell us the economy is recovering, so all is well. Just wait for the bogus recovery period that will be coupled with astronomical inflation! Ohhhh, boy!!!
