If you bought the Dow index when Clinton was inaugurated (3241.96), and sold at it's lowest point recently (say around 8200) you still more than doubled your money.

That money didn't evaporate. It went into your pocket. And that's more than 8% a year ROI. Closer to 10% ??

I think my third grade arithmetic is right. Economists, on here, what say?

The Fractional Reserve banking system requires an un-ending supply of creditors going farther and farther into debt at the bottom of the pyramid.

Eventually, those creditors reach the end of their ability to go into more and more debt. And the system collapses.

So the Gubmint pushed us into $700B more debt. But that will support the ever growing pyramid only so far and then the collapse will be just much harder.

Let's face it, America. Our credit cards are maxed out.

We need REAL MONEY and HONEST BANKING. Until that day, every day that goes by will cause that fiat dollar in your pocket to shrink a little bit more until it takes a wheelbarrow full of cash to buy a penny candy at the general store.

He's the lone member of the Connecticut for Lieberman Party. And a Freshman Senator.

He should be treated like a Freshman Senator. With a nice office - Down in the Basement!
