Dollar Crash in 1971 - Fiat currency paralleled today
Couldn't agree more. Does anyone even remember the term "stagflation"? The hallmark of the Jimmy Carter incompetence years? Jimmy, by the way, has spent the rest of his life traipsing the globe trying to divert attention away from his failed presidency.

Stagflation = stagnant economy with no growth + inflation out of control

A bitter pill and everyone better get used to the taste. Jimmy Carter's folly will look like genius by the time the Obamanauts finish their run - spending like drunken sailors, borrowing from the Chinese, hiking taxes, multiplying government regulation, getting government as far into your lost privacy as possible to create a "nanny state" that will make the "Great Society" look like a piker's dream.

Is this the CHANGE you voted for???

Like Willie Brown (former Mayor of San Francisco), the lifelong politician said, "No one wanted to know what Obama's policies would be - so they didn't ask him during the campaign!"

So it is no surprise that he has hired all the Clintonite retreads and staffed the White House with lobbyists.
