Happy Thanksgiving to all!


Let's take a moment away from the hustle and bustle of life and celebrate this festive holiday.   Despite all the hardships of life there remains much to be thankful for and hopefully you have an opportunity to celebrate with your family and friends.   While politics will invariably be a topic of choice during many thanksgiving dinners across the country I would urge most people to put the hot issues of the day aside.   In today's America partisanship and bitter strong feelings permeate our every fiber and we should, for our sanity's sake, reserve one day for peace and quiet. 

However we still have several hours before cooking begins and here are just some things we can all be thankful for. 
  1. 54 percent of our fellow Americans disapprove of the job Barry is doing. 
  2. Only 38 percent of our fellow Americans approve of ObamaCare. This pretty much leaves the core liberal base and "should" effectively kill the bill!
  3. SNL, the liberal voice of late night comedy skewered Obama better than any conservative could possibly imagine.
  4. The Global Warming hoax is on the verge of being exposed as an international conspiracy due to the workings of one hacker. 
  5. Cap and Trade is dead.
  6. Through the efforts of Ron Paul and Alan Grayson Congress will break down the secrecy of the Federal Reserve (not thanks to Democrats).
  7. What more do you need?
Happy thanksgiving to all!

The 2009 credit boom is coming to an end.

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.   Sure ,you can harvest 10 coconuts a day, consume them by night and repeat the process...

What is wrong with this country?

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. What jumped out was the age group and who they are likely voting for. Obama / McCain 18-24: 74% 21% The rest of the age groups are more or less even with ages 65+ leaning more for McCain. Those folks should probably avoid leaning - hazardous to their health. Now, if you are a member of this group and are part of the 74% you are probably feeling good about yourself. 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...
