You can not inflate your way out of a bubble. It leads to a larger bubble in another sector and then the currency defaults every time.The federal reserve lowered interest rates after the tech bubble and created a larger bubble in the housing market by artificially fixing the market. If they had instead let the market fail completely, they would have never had the housing bubble. The FED distorts markets and screws all of us.[/quote]
Actually you can inflate your way out of bubble. Mexico has done it at least twice in the last 40 years. As has Israel. And guess what? Neither are on the gold standard. And neither one failed! So there goes your theory that it defaults every time.
Citation please on the Fed causing the housing bubble? Oops. Nevermind. I know. You can’t cite any because there isn’t any!
There’s plenty of good reasons to criticize the Fed. Why don’t you use those instead of making up shit?

He is! In fact he’s in favor of making it completely legal for all uses. Party on RP!
Nevermind. He’s not all that keen on a woman’s right to privacy.

The grandparents and parents anology is far from anecedotal. It has happened to EVERY SINGLE family in the country. You seem to really not understand the term annecdotal?[/quote]Anecdotal Evidence:
Definition:
non-scientific observations or studies, which do not provide proof but may assist research efforts.
Every single family? Really? Not a single one escaped?
(And I’m quite sure that wasn’t an analogy. A nice example, yes. But not an analogy.
analogy
noun, plural -gies.
1. a similarity between like features of two things, on which a comparison may be based: the analogy between the heart and a pump. )[/quote]Here is why it’s not anecdotal:
A family with a single income teacher could raise 2 children in the 1950s and them to college.
A family with a single income engineer could raise 2 children in the 1950s and them to college.
A family with a single income fire fighter could raise 2 children in the 1950s and them to college.
A family with a single income architect could raise 2 children in the 1950s and them to college.
A family with a single income police man could raise 2 children in the 1950s and them to college.
Now you couldn’t imagine doing that with any of those professions, THUS it is not anecdotal it is a rule. If it were one profession or a couple I would agree. It is every profession now. Only the top 3% of income earners can get away with this now when it used to be the top 50%.[/quote]
Simply not true! In most parts of the country they can do that easily and some here can also. I had a firefighter client who lived in a beautiful new 5,000 sq ft custom home in Murrieta on a couple acres. His wife didnt work and they had no kids but if he did he could afford their college. He took home $150K per year. I saw his tax returns.
I also know of a policeman in Temecula who is a single dad, recently bought himself a nice home and will be sending his two kids to college.

There is no fire fighter in the US making $150k per year that is not working for a bankrupt city. In any case that proves my point that you have to be making $150k to get there. The intention of my post was that the majority of people who make $40k-$80k with the average jobs in america can’t do it any more. Thank you for proving my point.
October 28, 2011 at 7:22 PM #731541ParticipantWhat’s up w Ron pails weird 70s newsletter. Is it true he was suspicious of Jews back then. I understand because everyone was back then but question; do you think he could learn to trust me?

Isn’t the more important question whether you could ever trust him?
October 28, 2011 at 7:41 PM #731544ParticipantI am forgiving, just because he got a weird vibe from Jews doesn’t mean I can never trust him. But he to to put on a yarmulke for 10 minutes.
October 28, 2011 at 7:46 PM #731546ParticipantIn general, doctors are kind of assholes.

Uhh, scaredy, isn’t your spouse a doctor??
October 28, 2011 at 9:34 PM #731556ParticipantDoctors tend to be arrogant.

This says A LOT, scaredy, but I won’t judge. To each his own :=}
October 28, 2011 at 10:00 PM #731559ParticipantNot My wife…but I’ve met a lot of doctors. Don’t they seem to think they know more than they know?
I don’t trust doctor politicians.

I’ve never seen the newsletter but I would love to see it. It’s obvious that the banking system is owned by a few very prominent Jewish families but that shouldn’t condemn all of them. The Jewish bankers that run the federal reserve are evil. They steal from all of us.
