(Apologies to readers for this being published late, we have been encountering some technical difficulties here at PT)
The Conference Finals are upon us, and the defending champs are surprisingly nowhere to be found. While we all knew the Celtics weren’t at full strength, with star low-post presence and team leader Kevin Garnett out with injury, [...]

Last year Bush and the Democrat congress broke the all-time record for the Federal gunvernment’s deficit at >$400 BILLION. As receipts declined (but spending didn’t) due to the collapse of the Federal Reserve-inspired housing/mortgage/funny money/equity bubble.

1. Loose credit causing the unnatural housing boom has reversed. This reversal has left some American areas looking like ghost towns. It is unfortunate that we have been subjugated to nearly 100 years of the ridiculous Federal Reserve System and all the nonsensical rationalizations that have been forced into the American consciousness to [...]
