The credit expansion boom of 2009 will eventually go down as yet another period of credit expansion promoted by the Fed that will have lead to another predictable bust. Today, it will be interesting to examine how the various levels of production are behaving under years and years of artificial interest rate suppression. It will also be helpful to look at charts and graphs examining the business cycle theory and the impact of time preference as taught by Mises. For starters, those new to the concept - a very brief paraphrasing of the general idea. Under a healthy functioning market people's consumer patterns impact their savings. More consumption equals less saving and less consumption more saving. In order to progress the society must save such that it can make investments in machinery, equipment, technology, etc if it hopes to increase the capacity of production.

I was browsing the latest IBD poll and it finally struck me. I had this idea brewing for the past few weeks now and this particular poll hit a nerve.

If you are in the 21% then you are probably used to feeling desperate and angry that your peers ostracize you as if you were the next coming of the bubonic plague. But this number is very telling. Showing to us that a large group of freshly minted liberals, on average still in college, is in a very good position to influence these elections. Enthralled by the concept of "what they want the world to be" and their utopian ideals they hammer their message to anyone willi...
This is probably one of the most important questions in Massachusetts (MA) and something I have been thinking about for a long time. If we do not make the right decision here, it can only return in six years. We are now bombarded by anti-question1 ads and I noticed that everywhere I drove, I saw banners supporting NO on question1...but I also noticed that they were always standing next to a pro-Obama sign. Curious, is it not? So I started doing some research and I have concluded that every ad is a lie. Blatant lie. They even made a website with more lies. It has become rather apparent that everyone should vote YES on question 1 in order to send a message that enough is enough. My video is below, but here are important links that will enable you to do your own research.
