America's hat. Except we are much bigger. It would be more like America's sumbrero than baseball cap.

The Visiting Professor would push for all kinds of tax and spend policies that damage the economy - high oil prices certainly among them. The only thing that worries me is that the general public gets sucked in by Iggy's spending plans and are not as enticed by Harper's balanced budget...

The best kind of politician.

I've been long EUR/JPY all week and have made some very nice gains. The earthquake yesterday shook me out of half of my position however, given the Yen strength we saw after the first disaster. We've recovered nicely though. This trend is relentless right now.

Granted. But isn't there another way, other than giving the government more money and more control?

Not at all. You know what this is? Government cash grab. Companies transfer all profits to government instead of shareholders and employees. Meanwhile, NOTHING is done to help the environment. The result of this policy: Exact same environmental impact + more money for the government...

When did America really begin to prosper?

1. This news doesn't matter because it was expected and already priced in. 2. Portugal is a very small drop in the global bucket.

[/b] You said: "You must be too dumb to realize that ALL YOU EVER DO is argue in favor of continued intervention. What else would you call your incessant arguments in favor of "fighting deflation"." You said my arguments in favor of fighting deflation were equal to arguing in favor of...

Ugh, lies and misinformation. You are the total package. 1. There has been periods of inflation and deflation before the Fed was even created. What does that tell you? 2. You are confused as to what the Fed really does. The Fed does not control government spending. Arguing for...

Agreed on most points, especially the first paragraph.

Arguing the negative aspects of deflation is a far cry from arguing in favor of continued intervention. Those who know me, know I'm in favor of small government. Have you no brain?

You sure are definitive with your personal opinions. You say MOST of the distortions are a direct result of central bank intervention. Which market distortions are a result of central bank intervention, and which market distortions are not? How do you define a market distortion?

I've never argued for central planning, or continued intervention. You are worse than a politician with your lies. Liars make me sick. I love debating different points of view, but it's impossible to have a reasonable debate with someone who lies and makes up facts. Please stick to...
