Gasoline prices are not rising, the dollar is falling. Welcome back, Carter! All that money-printing Helicopter Ben has been doing is having an effect: stagflation. “Right now, the threat posed by rising gasoline prices is not just to family budgets. An even greater danger is that the government will use escalating oil prices as an excuse to do something stupid.” They don’t need a stinking excuse.

The intelligentsia running this country are just stupid enough to think they know all the answers and just smart enough to impose them!
"Suspicion towards a currency, once awakened, develops insomnia" - James Dines.
Bonfire is absolutely right to point out that it is the inflation. My fear is that it is only beginning. Once the election year narrative that "the economy is better" (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) tanks hold and the banks actually start loaning this money (that was created out of nowhere) then the real stagflation is going to hit.

Taken to its absurd conclusion, why even bother collecting taxes? Our currency is a mirage, so why not have the Fed just print more money to cover the expenses and eliminate the debt. Obama could then really run on "good news".

Worth repeating!
I wouldn't be surprised to see that happening soon.
"Dear Leader" and the rest of the neanderthals in his cabinet are enthralled with Europe's transportation system. Just 1 small problem, the Europeans don't have to travel long distances because the population density is much higher.
They don't have to travel long distances because you could set 2+ Europes down in the middle of the U.S.! The have narrow street designed for pedestrians, small countries, and less distance to travel to get from poin A to point B. I live in Texas. I could start driving in the Panhandle and not hit the Rio Grande Valley and border with Mexico for a whole day of continuous drivin! And its about the same traveling from East Texas to West Texas. I could not drive something like a Volt, because there are too many areas where there is a whole lot of nothing. No recharge, no gas, no water. . . nothing. Oh, and no cell service to call for help!
What would you do with your safelink phone?
The war against the real energy sector is a threat to our nation's national security. The regime is making it impossible to develope America's oil, natural gas, coal, & nuke industries. But what do they promote? Sh!t that does'nt work. The green energy BS needs to become profitable in the open market. Not in a game rigged for them by Obama & his lackies. Even then their sh!t don't work. The Obama regime & their appointees are doing everything they should'nt, & it's by design.
Anyone with a brain realizes that our supplies of gas, oil and coal are not going to last forever. If people had actually started working on alternate energy when this was first proposed, in the early 70's, we might actually HAVE high milage vehicles and WORKING alternatives. But everyone kicked the can down the road. We (along with big oil and car manufacturers) did this to ourselves. Now its time to pay the pipier and it won't be pretty. With additionl forms of energy we could have extended the life of our natural resouces for centuries, but no......
If we converted to natural gas to run our cars and electric generating stations, we would still have enough gas to last about 600 years. That would leave the oil for the diesel trucks, and drive the price down for diesel, resulting in lower transportation costs for all goods and lower prices on everything.
But then that would defeat everything Obama stands for.
Carter put a huge wound in the country. 0bama, I fear, has put a mortal wound on the country. I hope I am wrong but doubt it.
The question is given that the USA was the last place to go for the productive and honest, where do we go now? Sadly,it is now abundantly clear, do I become part of the corrupt system, a game with anybody with an IQ of 80 can play loosing my integrity, or do I flee. And if so where?
Four years ago, I shut down my business and let 9 (highly paid) people go due to government regulation, taxation, and interference. I got tired of working those 70+ hour weeks. Sure business slowed but I was spending more time dealing with the government than on sales, design, fabrication, assembling, testing, shipping, and getting the payment. I am fine but the people that the government made me let go are not so fine. That is what happens when you punish the producers.
I hold little hope for anything but more government control no matter whom is elected. It will not be pretty and we should all think of where to be given the takers will not take kindly to being ripped from the proverbial teat or worse not being taken of the teat..
I don't completely agree with what you say, Obama hasn't inflicted a mortal wound on the United States---not yet. But if he is reelected in November he'll have four years to finish the job, and I have no doubt that he'll do his damnest to wreck the Constitution, the economy and the freedom of the American people. He's out to re-make the country in ways acceptable to the Reverend Wright and Bill Ayers.
And himself. He hates whites with a passion, remember? And he chose to run for PResident in a country that for themoment is majority white. So of course he needs to remake it to get rid of the whites!
And Atlas Shrugged once more.
It practically reads like their operations manual!
