Oh, well. <BR/>The Brits figured out the effects better than we did? Wow.<BR/>"The Republicans commended Obama throughout the meeting...." afraid of being called racist?<BR/>A lack of coffee? What the hell is wrong with your America?<BR/>My first wife and her family were emigres from Germany after WW II, The mom told ne all about the wheelbarrow full of Duetsch Marks needed to buy a loaf of bread. At least until the invading Americans figured out how to make paper money work again. (They hired German economists.) <BR/>Do you think we'd have another revolution if a loaf of bread got to $3500?Catmoveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13192091477404637971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-34402528764909164762009-01-29T13:11:00.000-07:002009-01-29T13:11:00.000-07:00Kris sez: YGBSM.Unfortunately, no.

That's severe understatement regarding the subject discussed here.<BR/><BR/>Alison: My sentiments... exactly.<BR/><BR/>Ann: We seem to be on the same page.

I thought I'd grown up enough to get by her stultifying prose... but, noooo... I couldn't do it. I love her philosophy, I'd just rather get it second-hand, as opposed to from the horse's mouth. The woman CANNOT write.<BR/><BR/>And thank you for the kind words about my title!

We have to allow some failure - and I say that knowing that could include my own [failure].<BR/><BR/>I agree there are some things that we maybe shouldn't allow to fail - as in the case of the Big3 - but I was happy to see that they had to work a bit for it.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13925164639039478342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-72556524728043303362009-01-28T12:07:00.001-07:002009-01-28T12:07:00.001-07:00:(:(Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14429455198999868784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-39827487765221323542009-01-28T12:07:00.000-07:002009-01-28T12:07:00.000-07:00We all know what the Weimar inflation eventually l...We all know what the Weimar inflation eventually led to.
