how far down the rabbit hole must we go?

Hokay, I finally broke down and read the article so I could post intelligently... the source though, consider the source. I go to a high end health club by the Intel Campus and the TV in the locker room is always on the investment channel. The talking heads rave endlessly about Obama this, Obama that... this article didn't quite do that but still the only takeaway for most is that the Health Care Bill is what is going to finish off a very expensive piece of military hardware. Speaking of expensive military hardware, what is our current military budget? There is a whole lot wrong with the Free World and, no, we cannot firewall ourselves off from 'their' fiery finish because it is us the US that is at Ground Zero in the Global Financial Meltdown. It was America's real estate bubble that burst and crashed the Global Economy. It was exotic financial instruments based on American infrastructure that crashed foreign economies that are heavily invested in things Americaine. I read that article and I think "duct tape and bottled water" time. The young man who had much went away saddened when he was told what it would take to get into the Kingdom of Heaven. In other words, if what is in that article is what is neccessary for us to survive that flat spin... BOOM.

Yip you can mint $1k coins. The paper money is new debt and we have enough of that already. It is a debt bubble that has the economy down. We need less debt. But there is really not that much difference.
