The nuts have been hyping hyperinflation as the coming boogie man for at least a decade. We're still riding along with inflation below 2%.

Bad news then, Lovmuffin. The presses are now running, and have been . It wasn't even news, really. Just press releases for the back page.

Of course, the story was competing with what an awful person that Romney fellow was. We certainly can't blame the media for focusing on the important stuff, can we?

The hyperinflation nuttery is mostly coming from.....you guessed it....the right-wing-lunatic-fringe groups like world net daily.....it`s part of an anti-government agenda, the likes of which would have made the weather-underground or the SLA jealous.

Then our cons regurgitate it here.

Who would have thought during the 60s that the GOP...fathered by a president who suppressed a rebellion and made civil war on secessionists, would be today advocating for another secessionist movement and government failure?

Social Security is insurance. If you're worried about it's RESERVE LEVELS, simply require EVERYONE to contribute based on their ENTIRE income. No-more freeloading for those who earn over some arbitrary level.
Problem solved.

It's the fault of both parties that we are at this point and they are still kicking the proverbial can down the road. When it happens it won't be pretty.

First, what definition would be ascribed to Hyperinflation? Weimar, Germany? Zimbabwe? Neither of those are likely except should poeple lose absolute faith in the Dollar.

Inflation is <2%? Really?

From the person who loves to make comments about what I post.

Good morning sunshine!
I bet you never heard of big protests in America, like The Civil Rights Movement, The Great March on Washington, or anything remotely related to Martin Luther King, Jr. or the "forces" that fueled major changes/shaped and contributed to American history in the past 60, 100, or 200 years or so.

Oh well, you can read plenty of American history on line.
I don't have the time or energy to type out facts that are common knowledge.
Many, many people have fought hard for years by means of political protest here and around the world.
-------
As I stated I live close to Washington D.C. and going to a protest around here is not really a big thing.

When I join in a protest, I get a great feeling, of actually DOING something MORE, than just sitting back and bitching and complaining.

I thank GOD that I live in a country that allows us to protest, it's just that simple.
It may or may not change things, but as the many other marches I have been involved in, it makes ME feel good about "doing something".

ACLU- Free Speech and the right to protest
As a woman of color/ and as the descendant of people that were slaves in this country 150 years ago, I thank GOD for the people that protested, marched, and even gave their lives so that I could be free and also have the freedom and rights that I enjoy today.

The last big anti-war march I attended{about 6-7 years ago} had so many teenagers, and young people marching/attending that I felt like crying.

joy,joy,joy

As always, it's been a pleasure.
Take care and keep spreading your usual sunshine.

Peace

Contrary to what you think, I dont love to comment about your posts, I just dont happen to agree that protesting in todays climate does anything.. while some protests accomplished things in the distant past.. you are dealing with a totally different politiician today than the politicians your great grandparents dealt with.. protesting might make you feel good, but apart from that, what did OWS accomplish?
