So, yeah, I'm buying it.
Heck, although I vehemently disagreed with many positions, I'm not arrogant enough to believe that even GWB didn't do what he thought was right: it just wasn't.

+1! Thank you, once again, my friend.

I think a large number of Americans have figured some stuff out, or are just tired of it.

Looks like an even fight this time.

Did I ever tell you that's the sorriest looking hound I've ever seen. What is it supposed to be anyhow?
Somewhat interesting read Dave, but I find it to be awfully over-simplified. He forgot a lot of "what ifs" and I would imagine it was intentional. If it really was as simple as the author would have us believe, we could all be rich just by changing a number on our bank statement. It would be a great comfort if I could believe it, but I tend to lean more towards the Laffer curve in matters of government money (imagine that).  Maybe it's way over my head, but the "nothing is real" philosophy is wasted on me. What do you think about it?

Define "reality".
Currency is printed, used, then burned when it is wornout.
What does it represent?
Gold Standard?
What gold? That piggy bank ran empty years ago.
The only reason this country hasn't experienced total collapse is the so-called "fiat currency".

So let me ask this; does the "house of cards" never collapse, does it collapse slowly, or does it collapse catastrophically.

Jay, what he describes is irrefutable fact. The nice part about his style of writing is he doesn't try to overwhelm you, he describes how it works without going over anyones head. I believe it's the most important economics book ever written.
