RE: Kudlow's 'Barn Burner'.

That's a peculiar choice of metaphors...anyone else recall the Faulkner short story about Snopes-like arsonists?

Which is what inflationists are...financial arsonists.

Everyone who can should prudently invest in gold and silver.

In my, as always, ever so humble opinion. ;^)

Sounds to me like you hit the nail right on the head.

...that would be "Ab" Snopes in "The Barn Burning"....a lot of these Snopes got the hell out of Yoknapatawpha County and moved to Wall Street in the latter part of the 20th Century.....they figured out it was a lot easier to manipulate stocks and bonds than to burn barns and steal horses....a whole heap more profitable too ;-)
