April 17, 2013

As central banks continue to print fiat currency like crazy, amid a competitive devaluationary race to the bottom (currency war), you’d expect regular commodities to cost more in terms of paper money (inflation), regardless of bogus government statistics telling you it ain’t so.

Romney Channels His Inner…… Thatcher???

May 4, 2012

Now that Mitt Romney has turned his attention to defeating Barack Obama, instead of destroying other Republicans, I must grudgingly admit that he seems to “get it”, especially after today’s article in The Hill, where he mocked Obama’s ‘new’ communist campaign slogan ‘Forward, what, over the cliff?’.
