Rearranging the Deck Chairs on the Titanic?

I like this admission - "You are right, I underestimated that they're going to do whatever it takes to drag this out for as long as possible."

Siwwy Wabbit!

As often happens, I often enjoy the comments as much or more than the posting.

Yes, of course, the problem facing the US economy today is NOT systemic corruption, the utter death of the rule of law, the vast and accelerating income and wealth disparity, the fraudulent and unsustainable nature of our central banking and fiat currency regimes, the all but complete destruction of REAL democratic rule and the substitution of an oligarchic, technocratic, total-surveillance police state in its stead --- no, we are merely bedeviled by a lack of confidence!Forgive us, Leos, for not having confidence in our political leaders cum prison guards, torturers and (debt) slavemasters.

The analogy of QE representing "rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic" is not even close to its real impact.
QE is more like taking on water purposely on the rising stern of the ship to help balance and offset the sinking bow.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

The comments are good.....and many times on mark....But like I said on another thread, most people don't understand the complexities of some of the responses...so I'm forced to tell my friends...I have no confidence.

Simple messages are the best...ask them if they are prepared for, well...a world of nothing!

If they say you are alarmist, remind them that the "I told you so" coming their way is going to be a real bitch.

We are so far past and beyond the “long train of abuses and usurpations” that the Colonists and Founders experienced and which necessitated the Revolutionary War that they aren’t even visible in the rear-view mirror.
