>When Will the Fed Tighten? Never.  - Rick Ackerman - 
Good article. Perhaps more emphasis on the growth of money/substitutes by banks through fractional banking and derivatives would really get the message through to the audience. However ... ,

"... and the Paul Krugmans of the world no choice but to acknowledge the epic hoax that sustained it."

Never gonna happen. They have made economics into a religion. Religion is based upon faith aka belief. Ergo no evidence, however compelling, that disputes the dogmatic belief system can never be acknowledged as factual. Economics is not and can never be a science. It has always been a philosophy aka reasoned opinion. Some famous guy said something to the effect that, "It isn't what you know that gets you in trouble, it is what you KNOW that ain't so that does." And that is the problem with philosophy.

And by the way, Krugman is NOT a Nobel prize winner.

At the end of the day, it is still a pig. Tis time to open that bottle of barbecue sauce.
