The Day of Reckoning has come?

The trigger that apparently caused the market meltdown was the ever-so-slight suggestion from Standard & Poor's that the US government’s fiscal health might not be all that it is cracked up to be.

This was not a case of the little boy noting the emperor has no clothes. It is more like the little boy suggested that the emperor's clothes, while beautiful, might have been more carefully tailored to suit the imperial dignity. Hysteria followed, and the entire Obama cult called for the kid to be stoned.

Finally the emperor himself spoke in defense of his rainment. That’s when the market crashed.

But the downgrading of a government’s debt from AAA to AA+ can only have triggered a market avalanche if the truth is in fact much worse, and most everyone knows it. Money...

(...)

Of course, the whole theory that the government can stimulate through control and robbery is wrong and counterproductive. It only ends up rewarding government and its friends while the rest of us suffer. If we ever get out of this depression, it will be because government is forced to stop this nonsense, and the economy really stimulated by taking a meat axe to the planning-spending-inflating apparatus. Full story...

Don't miss:
  1. The Federal Reserve is a Ponzi scheme, a fraud...
  2. Capitalism in crisis, a warning from history...
  3. The Money Song from Malaysian musical "Sell Out"
  4. The United Loony Bin Of America...
  5. Charles Dickens and the money barons...
  6. $102 billion a year on 800 worldwide military bases is bankrupting the country...
