      Being Wrong for Five Years Makes Peter Schiff Right Now?
      If your doctor said you had cancer and could live only a little while longer, are you going to say the doctor was wrong if you have a temporary remission? No, the doctor was still right.

      The Reagan Counterrevolution
      What Reagan understood and most leftists don't understand is that our economy is not a zero-sum game. When someone loses (via higher taxes, e.g.) doesn't mean that someone else gains. That is not zero-sum, that is lose-lose. Increasing taxes on the rich more always hurts the poor more than it hurts the rich. And it is not "trickle down", it is "cascade down." Also, trying to find another country that is better than the U.S. economically is an exercise in futility. Look at the downward spiral of Europe; China? No, China will get old before it gets rich.

      China Wants the U.S. Dollar to Drop Dead
      Just wondering about two things: When China's holdings of treasury securities mature, what will they do when they are paid in dollars that are worth very little?
      And, China's one-child policy has been in place for about twenty-two years; soon the population will start to decline and age. Isn't that a formula for long-term collapse?

      Falling Gas Prices Will Save Consumers $156 to $188 Billion Annually
      Yes, good point. This 150 billion can be spent on goods produced by people who don't hate us as much. It is better than a stimulus program because it doesn't take taxpayers' money. It is like a tax cut in that it can increase government revenues from taxes (remember Laffer?).

      Jason C is right: commodities are not going to go up in a world of inflation. In fact, they've already come down in a big way. Look at dba, for example.

      5 Reasons Stocks Will Keep Falling
      Too many of you are agreeing with the accountant. An accountant deals with the past; he reports financial data that is already history. Markets are all about the future and what looms ahead as a crisis or a cure. Forget about the past; get ready for what's coming next.

      5 Reasons Stocks Will Keep Falling
      Markets are about the future. There is a saying in the stock market, "the market never discounts the same thing twice." So the stock market is swooning now as the anticipation of an Obama presidency heightens (there is a high negative correlation between Obama's poll numbers and the present stock market numbers). So if Obama is elected, the market won't drop again. In other words, the stock market value today is the present value of future expectations. Future expectations are looking grim with an anti-capitalist government in the offing.

      Currencies Race to the Bottom
      Spending is done by Congress, not the president, but the president has to use the veto pen. John McCain says he will use the veto, and I believe him. There is a reason why Congress has a much lower approval rating than the president now; it is because of earmarks and pork barrels. Then people say that they like their individual congressmen even though they hate congress. The reason they like their own congressman is that he/she brings home the pork to them. When John starts to use the veto pen, your own congressman won't look so good to you, and you'll throw out the bum.

      The Dollar's Decline: Taking Responsibility for the Future
      Bob La Follette must be turning over in his grave. Chinn is not just wrong, he is utterly wrong. Do Wisconsin taxpayers know that their tax dollars are paying the salaries of such witless professors?

      Revisiting the Minimum Wage Issue
      Eltigre: Don't you understand that the poor devil didn't get his minimum wage increase because he lost his job? Mike Steinhardt is exactly right: The politicians who think they are helping the poor are hurting the poor. Raising the minimum wage is similar to raising taxes on the rich--it always hurts the poor more than it hurts the rich.

      Election-Year Tax Politics: Keeping the Debate Accurate
      Yes, income tax rates are marginal, but so is the decision to hire an extra worker; the marginal worker doesn't get hired because the extra dollar of profit isn't "worth it" because of higher tax rates. Don't you see: raising taxes on the wealthy hurts low-income workers!

      A Closer Look at Obamanomics
      Mr. Hsu is a perfect example of someone who gets in over his head when he is writing about something outside his field. He designs robots, and now he is "thinking" like a robot. Save us from these automatons!
