The “Iron Maiden." She was the staunch and sturdy leader of Great Britain who once held up F. A. Hayek’s masterwork “Road to Serfdom” and declared “This is what we believe in.”
Hayek’s work is a road map for what could go wrong when individual freedoms are lost and central planning becomes the answer for every ill. When truth is bent to meet the moment and government decision making is the proposed cure all, “serfdom” is the destination.
Margaret, in believing Hayek’s cautionary, also declared that Socialism cannot sustain itself. Socialism can not last because eventually “you run out of other people’s money."
Well Margaret, you can’t believe what has happened.
Enter the Federal Reserve and Central Banking.
Once created for the proposed purpose of easing temporary strains in the financial system, the central planners that are now the central banks, have made certain that governments “will not run out of other people’s money."

Well. If one takes the term “other peoples’ money” to its logical extreme, you can never run out of “slavery,” because that is exactly what it boils down to.
Others peoples’ money really only runs out when the oppressors eventually stupidly kill the oppressed.
I think Maggie was thinking exactly that on her quote.
Man, when the wheels finally come off I hope the American people still have enough pluck to make heads roll for what these clowns have done to this country.
What is more likely to occur is the “people” running out of “their own” money due to bad central planning.
Isn't your personal money from the "other people's" money pool?
No..they just inflate it till its worthless!
even Greenspan understood it back in 66 .... http://www.321gold.com/fed/greenspan/1966.html
I should have said: Doesn’t your personal money go into the “other people’s money” pool?
What does that have to do with anything?
Okay....a little different. Yes, ‘they’ want my personal money to go in their pool. It is my lifelong task to keep them from accomplishing that to the maximum extent possible.
You mean we can’t print our way to prosperity? Say it ain’t so! /sarc
Seemingly true, but Liberals will ALWAYS tell you the “Broken Window” scenario is ALWAYS good for the economy.
“We will devalue our currency as much as we please because - shut up, we got nukes.”
Yes, but we only have those nukes as long as it takes Obama to get rid of them.
As long as those free riding in the wagon have the numbers to vote for mo $$$.....it wont run out.
Ref lizabeth Warren.
But when that wealth is in tangible things like land, cattle guns, bullets, tools, etc. you are somewhat protected.
Somewhat...
Those rocks are probably worth more than the bill they’re printed on.
Until thugs with guns and federal authority come and take them from you.
