Usually this happens as the government pumps money into the market but we are addding at a 20% rate M-3 money now & it is only proping up a sinking ship. We must have our war in order to obtain cheap oil. W/o it a financial meltdown is assured. If it were otherwise (our safty) we would have the borders closed. And watch out for a terrorist act because the sheeple have caught on to the scam.

You and ole snookems are glass-half-empty people. Always predicting rain on the day of the picnic. Spying a pony and looking for the pile. Seeing a pretty girl standing next to her mother and turning away because, well, that's what she'll look like when she's old.

You guys must be riot to live with.

Not.
