I  note  that you always try to attempt to win debates by bringing out your alleged intellectual superiority, this is a trait often exhibited by those who are physically weak and incapable.

No reason for me to be frustrated Winston. And I made it clear I made an observation. I also note you continually resort to claiming other posters have a tendency towards social darwinism, this appears to be your main resort when you get frustrated, by continually using the same argument you illustrate the shallowness of your knowledge base. You have an inclination to use 2 sentences when 2 words will do which shows your communication skills are also poor. I suggest you are socially challennged with few friends and are probably unable to hold down a full time job for very long.

Well you are telling the story, but I notice that you still haven't disputed my postion with facts in any of those cases.

You would rather attack me for exposing fallacious thinking.

As proof, look no farther than Agora Financial’s 5-Minute Forecast’s synopsis of the Federal Reserve’s weekly H.4.1 statement, which they characterize as “the Fed’s consolidated balance sheet,” and found “$4.37 trillion in ‘assets,’ if that’s what you want to call them, compared with $56.3 billion in capital. That’s a leverage ratio of 77.6- to-1.”

Leveraged 80 times! Imagine you borrowing 80 times as much as everything you own! Insane! No Freaking Wonder (NFW) the Fed is so desperately worried about “deflation” in the price of assets, as so incredibly, so stupendously, so impossibly, so incomprehensibly much money is at stake, with so little backing!

And inflation in prices is not just caused by inflation in the money supply, but also higher prices caused by businesses passing on the costs of compliance to government regulations, too!

Lawson Bader, president of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, introduces a study which found that in the last 21 years, “federal agencies have issued nearly 88,000 rules, more than 3,500 per year, or about nine per day.”

Mr. Bader summarizes it as “Last year, the feds spent $3.5 trillion. That is a lot, but the cost of the federal government doesn’t end there. Regulations imposed an economic burden of $1.86 trillion last year.”

And the damage continues unabated, as “Last year, Congress passed 72 laws, while agencies issued 3,659 regulations — a difference of a factor of more than 50.”

I can see by the look of astonishment on your face that this is more, more, MORE than enough for you suddenly slap your forehead in disbelief, and exclaim with a look of dumbfounded horror on your beautiful face, “Wow! That idiot Mogambo was right! We’re freaking doomed! I need to get gold and silver bullion, and oil stocks, and Right Freaking Now (RFN)! Time’s a-wastin’!”
