    If they are defective, yes. But, of course, the FRN's defects don't hurt the government, only the civilians. So it never gets recalled, and we aren't allowed to sue. No matter how much middle class wages erode and savings evaporate.

    I always like how Zerohedge makes it sound so sinister by saying "confesses" as if Bernanke was hiding something.

    The Fed does cause recessions. That's kind of how it works. At some point an expansion starts to overheat and you get inflation so the Fed has to tighten monetary policy to kill inflation. It is a balancing act and at some point they will tighten too aggressively and you get a recession.

    The Fed causes the overheating in the first place.

    They wouldn't last as long. That is true. They would however be MUCH more severe. Nobody disagrees with that. Depressions were much steeper before the Fed.

    No, they might hit a small number of people harder but they wouldn't hit nearly as many people.

    You figure repeating it will make it true?

    I remember when Zippy spelled words as the English do. I remember several times Zippy's prose style changed, and he developed amnesia. He couldn't remember what happened last week. I remember when one day he was waxing eloquently about the Broncos, and the next he forgot that the Seahawks had not been an AFC team for years.

    I don't refer to the Zippy account as 'they' because I think there's royalty involved.

    And repeating stuff that denies the evidence which has passed before my eyes will not make me believe that stuff is true.

    It's true because I've seen it. I just sent it to you, and now you've seen it.

    No, I saw a link to a fedbook page I did not care to click. Now you claim my caution/boycott is due to a state of denial, and I remind you that a fedbook page proves exactly nothing--especially if it belongs to a Fed.

    There. We're back where we began.

    LOL. You're looking for a needle in haystack when the needle is right in your hand.

    You'll click on it eventually.

    He has dossiers on everybody- even if he has to make them up. He has even created fake accounts in my name (and a few other posters from here) on other websites and came back to brag about that fact.

    Oh nose! I used your user name on another website. That's unprecedented in internet history! Maybe you should sue me for copyright infringement!

    This is an awfully public place to brag about how much you make by shilling the 'net. Maybe you two should get a room.

    There was a time when I had 24 Democratic Underground troll accounts. But they banned them all in one fell swoop.

    I just got banned again at home. Now, I have to visit the college library. I assume my IP ban there also expired, so I should be back up and running shortly.

    Just for laughs, my next user name will be "Influenza." It's going to be a real hoot! Woot woot!!
