ParticipantTest scores test a students ability to memorize facts, but fail to evaluate a students ability to reason, strategize etc. I call BS to the whole educational mess. ALL students do any more is practice for tests, so school districts can collect more federal funds. Learning??? NOT!!!

Participant[quote=sdrealtor]Hate to state the obvious but the color of the next rabbit will the same as the last one and those before it. It will be green- The Color of Money.[/quote]
It seems to me we already had our rabbit surprise in the form of trillions of dollars in loans which cannot be repaid. Now all we get is payback. Choose your evil – inflation, deflation it all leads down the same dark path. Bottom line and I have been saying this for some time, your choice is not to keep the loot you so carefully saved, but to lose it to inflation or bad debt. THE MONEY HAS ALREADY BEEN SPENT!!! IT IS GONE!!! frittered away on big boxes of Chinese made junk for the most part.

ParticipantAn issue I seldom see addressed is that everyone wants a high rate or return on investment, Stocks must go up 8% a year, houses must go up 8% a year, banks must give 5% and so on. At the same time we demand ZERO inflation, and the Fed obliges by turning the screws on inflation.
The way I see it this has resulted in a massive pressure cooker economy with bubbles blowing left right and center. Now the whole thing is starting to look more like a soufflé though.
My question to those wiser than I… How can you maintain huge investment growth and zero inflation?
