Twenty-Nine Reasons to Be Angry And/Or Scared

[Geee]

American Thinker:

If you're not both angry and scared at the world's current situation, you're not paying attention.

Rained out from a planned and anticipated golf game is not a good thing. As a result, I find myself confined to the house and computer in a less than jovial mood and decided to list a few problems in the world today. The list grew beyond my intentions.

In no particular order, and hardly complete, is the following enumerated list:

The Eurozone is imploding and likely will be unable to hold in its present constitution, if at all.

Fiat currencies are being debased rapidly in a "beggar thy neighbor" attempt to juice domestic economies. Competitive devaluations provide no advantage when other countries match the debauchery.

More money/debt/federal spending is not economic policy if you view same as being able to fix or improve something. Such action is merely political, a form of political propaganda to convince the masses that the economy is improving. Temporarily propping up reported GDP may provide better headlines, but does not create jobs.

The purpose of so-called quantitative easing is to shore up bankrupt governments. The action itself is a form of default, albeit in slow motion. Pretending to honor commitments while inflating their value away is a criminal offense, but for government it passes for economic policy.
