Here comes inflation.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

A U.S. government auction of 30-year bonds met a dismal reception on Thursday, driving down bond and stock prices and raising fears the United States may face difficulty financing spending to stimulate the economy.

Good. If Republicans can't stop the spending madness, our creditors will.

Obamanomics...meet reality.

[NMEwithin]

Didn’t take long for reality to set in did it?

To Quote Obama’s mentor: “The Chickens, they are coming home to roost.”

[BJClinton]

Why not just print more money?

Reagan gave the citizens a stimulus package and let them handle it. It lead to an economic boom that lasted through two presidencies.

What's the opposite of Reagan and an economic boom? Barrack Oboma and the coming depression.

Stating up front that there are many different kinds of issues called "bonds", I wonder if the following headline from 4/29 perhaps had a dampening effect...

US President Barack Obama called on Chrysler LLC bondholders to make sacrifices...

On receiving this news, Obambi will reply, “What's a bond?”

The $14 billion auction met below-average demand from investors, who forced the government to pay a higher yield.

If you study this stuff long enough, for oh, say, five minutes, you come to the realization that there are economic rules that can't be wished away. Well, unless you have god-like powers.

What an opportunity for a Republican candidate who wants to jump ahead of the pack to go to a serious forum such as the National Press Club or the Economics Club and deliver an indictment of the Obama inflation bomb!

The obvious candidate for this role is Mitt Romney. But what of Sarah Palin, could she not go forth and deliver a very serious address setting forth milepost after Milepost of misery which lay in wait for us down the road like so many speed traps? In a stroke she could gain gravitas and every time her predictions come true fewer and fewer would be able to-in Churchill's words, "gainsay" her.

With 0bama’s spending, the coming shortages, and the closing lag time between fantasy and reality, the days of double digit interest rates are going to return. Like the bible says, people will need a cart full of money to buy a loaf of bread. These clowns are going to make the Carter years look like the good ol’ days.

Send a gift to Oboma (praise Allah).........An Island Called Liberty (Ayan Rand meets Dr. Seuss)

This book is a cross between Dr. Seuss and Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged. Ayn Rand would be proud of the message and Dr. Seuss would be proud of the beautiful illustrations and rhyming verse in this lively tale of free-markets versus excessive government regulation.

I wonder where these bondholders would stand in the event of a US bankruptcy?

Somewhere behind the UAW?
