(Blush). Thanks.

But I was serious about making a vanity post out of yours!

Cheers!

Thank you so much for the compliment! :)

I think likeminded folks like yourself and me could discuss this as a vanity post; but I suspect more than likely it would engender a great deal more negativity, and thereby instead of being as a positive, it would be used as fodder food for the local Seymours to spew. I read this morning that some cynicism is quite healthy. :)

Handled correctly is the key phrase. It isn't going to be handled correctly it is being handled by libtards who are going to exactly the wrong thing. They are going to put a big ladle in the public trough and swill it to their supporters which is going to make things worse, not better. There is nothing we can do to stop it, either. Μολὼν λάβε

Sorry, I don't know of any Seymours except Seymour Cray (RIP).

Can you tell me who you mean?

Cheers!

lol! You are determined we have this discussion over that past subject in post, eh?

[grey_whiskers]

*PING* to an old thread I found while looking for something else: you *do* realize your were *spot on* about the big ladle and the public trough, don't you?

And if not for the 63-seat shellacking in Nov.2010, it would've continued, even accelerated.

Consider yourself highly commended.

Cheers!

LOL Well, thank you. How long ago?

I remember reading Kurt Vonnegut over 20 years ago about the “money river” and how some folks teach their children and perhaps a few lucky others how to “dip into the money river” but one needs to “surp quietly” because if the peasants learn about it they will stampede and run it dry. Sometimes old Kurt could have great insight.

I went back and read post 16 again today. I don’t see anything in the last year that has changed one iota. Do you?

The water has receded a little further before the tsunami, that's all.

I think we're going to have inflation in commodities (have-to-have) and deflation in luxuries (in an attempt to spur sales), followed by massive stagflation.

We've got the stag, just waiting for the flation.

Then Sarah Palin's Reaganesque landslide.

Pray that *this* time, she picks a conservative VP.

Cheers!

Gold is going to test support at $500 soon, maybe even $450. If you're in from the mid-$200's, hold on. If not, good luck!

There was lots of 'good luck' to go around on that one...
