You know what, Fear?

The Emperor was naked all along!


And it is a long slippery slope into a sad part of your country's history appearing... along with the countries that allowed their leaders to jump into bed with your former government...including mine.

It's time for the empire of greed to fall, and for the superlative expletives to be buried... no more superpowers...no more empirical greed...

It's going to hurt, a lot, but I work with optimism that a much healthier balanced structure will be created.


are you a prophet???

perhaps you should be, lol...

a wise women indeed.

To be sure, it will fail. But, not necessary at this time. The fakeonomy can take off again, provided that Obama prints enough fake money for greed and the desire of quick and easy profits to overcome the fear of loss.

I'd say, there is only 25% chance of this crisis to be a last one. There is surely going to be inflation, and to proclaim this, one only needs to accept that the fakeonomy can survive. It is one and the same statement.

Finally, there is this perception that every time fiat system hiccups, it gets closer to it's death. This is not true. The fakeonomy can be carried forever, provided that the next crisis is always significantly bigger than the previous one. It the management falls asleep at the wheel and do not create the next crisis big enough, then the rubber band may actually snap, and the fiat system will commit a suicide.

Please, do not take my words as if I ever approved of this horrible system. I am simply discussing it's mechanics, not it morality, nor legality.
