The Door is About to Shut for Americans
(Before it’s News) Anyone aware of the US Government’s real financial situation knows that time is running out. The Government has $15.5 trillion in admitted debts but those debts, when calculated under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), or ‘honest accounting’, is over $70 trillion. $70 trillion divided by 300 million+ Americans works out to $233,000 per […]

20 Questions To Ask Anyone Foolish Enough To Believe The Economic Crisis Is Over

Unfortunately, the truth is that the economic crisis is […]
The Lehman Brothers Plan
Mises Daily: People often ask me, “What do you think the government should do instead of QE inflation?” My stock answer is that the government should not try to fight the depression with government spending and cheap credit.
